他们很相爱,无庸置疑。可是,直到她死去,他都没有真正懂她。或许,他对她的了解,甚至不如那只叫“罗丽”的大狗。 巴别塔,取自《圣经》第十一章,意为“变乱”,它象征着人与人之间因沟通不畅而产生的种种问题。 婚姻中,爱情决不会代表全部,有爱却不幸福的婚姻,见得还少...
评分《巴别塔之犬》确实是一本很哀伤的小说,它的哀伤,不在于自杀的亡妻,不在于苦苦回忆追寻的丈夫,不在于感伤婉转的故事,也不在于细密干净的文字,而在于,它的作者,是一个女人。 如果不看作者名,相信也不会有多少人会天真的认为它是一本由男人写出的书,虽然通篇都是以男...

The quirky premise of Carolyn Parkhurst's debut novel, The Dogs of Babel, is original enough: after his wife Lexy dies after falling from a tree, linguistics professor Paul Iverson becomes obsessed with teaching their dog, a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Lorelei (the sole witness to the tragedy), to speak so he can find out the truth about Lexy's death--was it accidental or did Lexy commit suicide? In short, accelerating chapters Parkhurst alternates between Paul's strange and passionate efforts to get Lorelei to communicate and his heartfelt memories of his whirlwind relationship with Lexy. The first 100 pages or so bring to mind another noteworthy debut, Alice Sebold's brilliant exploration of grief, The Lovely Bones. Unfortunately, the second half of The Dogs of Babel takes too many odd twists and turns--everything from a Ms. Cleo-like TV psychic to an underground sect of abusive canine linguists--to ever allow the reader to feel any real sympathy for the main characters. Parkhurst's Paul Iverson can certainly be appealing at times, and his heartbreak is often quite palpable ("...for every dark moment we shared between us, there was a moment of such brightness I almost could not bear to look at it head-on.").But his mask-maker wife Lexy--Paul's driving inspiration--is a character whose spur-of-the-moment outbursts, spontaneous fits of anger, and supposedly charming sense of whimsy (on their first date, they drive from Virginia to Disney World, eating only appetizers and side dishes along the way), become so annoying and grating that it's hard to believe anyone could ever put up with her, let alone teach their dog to speak for her. Despite its cloying tone, The Dogs of Babel marks a notable debut. Parkhurst possesses a wealth of inspired ideas, and no doubt many readers will respond to the book, but one hopes that the author's future efforts will be packed with richer character development and less schmaltz. --Gisele Toueg
