In this touching and atmospheric novel set among the fishermen of Newfoundland, Proulx tells the story of Quoyle. From all outward appearances, Quoyle has gone through his first 36 years on earth as a big schlump of a loser. He's not attractive, he's not brilliant or witty or talented, and he's not the kind of person who typically assumes the central position in a novel. But Proulx creates a simple and compelling tale of Quoyle's psychological and spiritual growth. Along the way, we get to look in on the maritime beauty of what is probably a disappearing way of life.

读后感

坊间有些年流行一种文本的创作套路，叫“治愈系小说”，或是“疗伤系小说”。 通常是讲述一个女主或一个男主，经历生活或感情的重创与背叛，选择离开故居，去别处生活，最后获得新生的故事。 小说与电影中都不少见，从疮痍到光鲜，一步步，徒手改变。 有意思的是，通常这些都...  

我们可以用怎样具体的形象来比喻人生呢？它线性而纤细，却蕴含着韧性与力量，与此同时，生命本身，又难免与其他生命产生交集，或者可以亲密无间，或者擦身而过，或者一团糟——用绳结来比喻这样的东西，也许再合适不过。 或许安妮•普鲁也这样想，才会在她的长篇作品《船讯...  

BBC的World Book Club前不久采访了Annie Proulx，其间讨论了两本书，就是这本《航运新闻》，还有《断背山》。可惜douban现在好象不能共享音频和视频吧？ 对书有兴趣的人可以到这个地址去订阅podcast： http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/directory/。  

06.11买的书。每次看到100页左右就放弃了，又拿起其他书看，这样好几遍。 今年国庆兼中秋回家，把这本书带上，三天时间一鼓作气看完了。 写的真好。就这四个字了~~ 另外：还看了根据书改编的电影《航运新闻》，书里两个女儿小兔和阳光，电影里就一个。凯文史派西主演，他并没有...  

很久没有全身心地投入读一本书了，《船讯》是个例外。 花了一周的时间把它读完。这是一个小人物的故事，一个失败的小人物重获新生的故事。听起来仿佛有些乏味，因为我们听过太多这样的故事了。 一开始，我也抱着一种随便看看的态度来读它，可是很快被它深深吸引。每次中途不得...

1、跟《近距离》一样，带出了newfoundland的风、雪和浪。2、Coyle当了主编之后，很讨厌围着桌子开会。大家边剖鱼边讨论报纸的各个栏目，太喜欢了。

一本主语时常不在，谓语有时候也不在的书，读到三四十页弃了。坚持读完的每一个人，我敬你们是条汉子。

暴雪、巨浪、渔船、被风刮走的房子、简单平凡又坚韧的人。Annie Proulx粗砺的语言和纽芬兰这片神奇的土地融为一体。

在暴雪和巨浪里趿趿而行。
