Set in the elegant Edwardian world of Cambridge undergraduate life, this story by a master novelist introduces us to Maurice Hall when he is fourteen. We follow him through public school and Cambridge, and on into his father's firm, Hill and Hall, Stock Brokers. In a highly structured society, Maurice is a conventional young man in almost every way, "stepping into the niche that England had prepared for him": except that his is homosexual. Written during 1913 and 1914, immediately after "Howards End," and not published until 1971, " Maurice" was ahead of its time in its theme and in its affirmation that love between men can be happy. "Happiness," Forster wrote, "is its keynote. In "Maurice" I tried to create a character who was completely unlike myself or what I supposed myself to be: someone handsome, healthy, bodily attractive, mentally torpid, not a bad businessman and rather a snob. Into this mixture I dropped an ingredient that puzzles him, wakes him up, torments him and finally saves him."

看来我总是看些冷门书籍啊,每次我兴致勃勃地到豆瓣搜索出我看过的书,想看看评论,就发现自己又一次站在了社会边缘。 《莫瑞斯》这本书说是关于同性恋的,但作者的文化程度恐怕太高,将书写得带了些哲思,主题到最后升华到打破阶层对立的高度。 看的感觉跟当年看《麦田守望者...

评分Forster自传体小说,published in 1971 pusthumously,当时在文学界引起巨大轰动。
评分人到了这个年纪真是读不得爱情小说,读着读着就内牛满面无限内伤==我不想赘述我对Foster这本小说的热爱which充分让我了解到少男这一我一直百思不得其解的物种。Moreover,在这个男同里Foster的文笔前所未有地细腻柔软,其”情不知所起“的一针见血度远远超过他的正牌男女爱情小说。But,我一定要吐槽下这个结尾which doesn't make sense好么!我承认福老头试图给予男同美好未来的声音是值得肯定的,但他并没有给这种未来提供足够的前提和立场。换言之,Foster挑战platonic模式和阶级观念的意图是号的,但显然他的stand并不是很有说服力。或者说,从我自己身上,我发现cultural bias真是极其坚不可摧==
