A literary cause célèbre when first published more than fifty years ago, Gore Vidal’s now-classic The City and the Pillar stands as a landmark novel of the gay experience.
Jim, a handsome, all-American athlete, has always been shy around girls. But when he and his best friend, Bob, partake in “awful kid stuff,” the experience forms Jim’s ideal of spiritual completion. Defying his parents’ expectations, Jim strikes out on his own, hoping to find Bob and rekindle their amorous friendship. Along the way he struggles with what he feels is his unique bond with Bob and with his persistent attraction to other men. Upon finally encountering Bob years later, the force of his hopes for a life together leads to a devastating climax. The first novel of its kind to appear on the American literary landscape, The City and the Pillar remains a forthright and uncompromising portrayal of sexual relationships between men.
用来打破浪漫妄想的一部小说,性感的部分都很收敛,能产生共鸣而且不造作
评分Powerful book. Powerful ending. Gay Canon的鼻祖,What a brave choice and noble work !
评分小说的历史意义确实很重要。Wikipedia上说这是二战后第一部正面 [非负面] 描写男同性恋而且不以主角被处死而结尾的小说。词句朴实不华丽,情节也简单不煽情。结尾感觉有点刻意有点牵强,整个故事波澜不惊,但读起来也还是很舒服。
评分珍爱生命,远离直男
评分love and death.最初版本的结局我很喜欢,初恋果然都很难忘么?????
