弗兰纳里•奥康纳(Flannery O'Connor)(1925-1964),是与麦卡勒斯齐名的美国天才女作家,被誉为“南方的文学先知”。她39岁时死于红斑狼疮,美国评论界称她的早逝是“自斯科特•菲茨杰拉尔德去世以来美国文坛最重大的损失”。 2009年,弗兰纳里•奥康纳小说全集获得美国国家图书奖60年唯一的最佳小说奖。
奥康纳被公认为是继福克纳之后美国南方最杰出的作家,在世界文学中影响巨大,伊丽莎白•毕晓普称“她的作品比十几部诗集有更多的真正的诗意”。雷蒙德•卡佛的写作曾受过她的影响,米兰•昆德拉、大江健三郎多次引用其作品内容。中国作家马原对奥康纳推崇备至,称之为“邪恶的奥康纳”,认为“奥康纳要是不做小说家,真是天理都不容。”
奥康纳风格怪诞,独树一帜。她擅长描写南方乡村人物生活,对人性阴暗有着惊人的洞察,故事诡谲、恐怖、阴郁到令人窒息,语言精准有力,常常在看似轻松幽默中抵达不测之深。
新星出版社这次将集中翻译出版弗兰纳里•奥康纳的全部主要作品,包括《好人难寻》《智血》《暴力夺取》《上升的必将汇合》《生存的习惯》五本,将在2010年出齐。

我第一次知道美国女作家弗兰纳里•奥康纳,是通过作家马原的解读文章。马原是个十足的小说技术主义者,他喜欢把小说像手枪一样拆开,让大家看看到底是怎样的构成让子弹爆炸飞出的。他对奥康纳也一样,他把短篇小说《好人难寻》和《善良的乡下人》一点点拆开,做了梗概式的叙...
评分个人成果严禁转载 In A Good Man Is Hard to Find, O’Connor tested human nature with death in a family, in which the members were all flat characters who only cared about themselves. Take the grandchildren for instance: John and June were irreverent to their ...
评分你不断生长的阅读经验在奥康纳刀斧的凛冽里只有触礁的份。 她的小说几乎摒弃了叙事上可能的宏观和广角,在平常事物的场景和平凡人物的相互境遇中,扒开春天的花朵,直逼凋落和毁灭,向死而生,在荆棘丛生中找寻一种独特的生存语境,精准的语言,惊人的洞悉力,直面...
评分在我浅薄的阅读经历中,像奥康纳这样耽于“恶”的作家不多,麦克尤恩算是一个。但他们所体现的“恶”却是截然不同的,麦克尤恩的“恶”更多是由欲望催生而来,像《只爱陌生人》,像《在切瑟尔海滩》,像短篇集《最初的爱情,最后的仪式》,都是散发着一股浓烈的性压抑的味道。 ...
评分我阳光派读奥康纳由最初的惊讶,到抗拒,到接受,到称赞,产生了一系列心理变化,没错她就是一股邪恶力量!以我文学业余爱好者的观点来看好的小说首先是要有个人独特的世界观,独特的文笔语感,最重要的是能挖掘到读者(人性)内心有多深,也可以说是互动吧,强烈推荐奥康纳的...

ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN SHORT STORY COLLECTIONS In 1955, with this short story collection, Flannery O'Connor firmly laid claim to her place as one of the most original and provocative writers of her generation. Steeped in a Southern Gothic tradition that would become synonymous with her name, these stories show O'Connor's unique, grotesque view of life-- infused with religious symbolism, haunted by apocalyptic possibility, sustained by the tragic comedy of human behavior, confronted by the necessity of salvation. With these classic stories-- including "The Life You Save May Be Your Own," "Good Country People," "The Displaced Person," and seven other acclaimed tales-- O'Connor earned a permanent place in the hearts of American readers. "Much savagery, compassion, farce, art, and truth have gone into these stories. O'Connor's characters are wholeheartedly horrible, and almost better than life. I find it hard to think of a funnier or more frightening writer." -- Robert Lowell "In these stories the rural South is, for the first time, viewed by a writer who orthodoxy matches her talent. The results are revolutionary." -- The New York Times Book Review Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964) was born in Savannah, Georgia. She earned her M.F.A. at the University of Iowa, but lived most of her life in the South, where she became an anomaly among post-World War II authors-- a Roman Catholic woman whose stated purpose was to reveal the mystery of God's grace in everyday life. Her work-- novels, short stories, letters, and criticism-- received a number of awards, including the National Book Award.
