具体描述

This is the tale of Miss Amelia, gaunt and lonely owner of a small-town store; and how she squandered her love on Cousin Lymon, the little strutting hunchback who turned the store into a cafe; and how her rejected husband, the meanest man in town, came back and stole the hunchback's heart; and, of the gargantuan fight that followed. This is a miniature epic with the melancholy atmosphere of a ballad.

读后感

不过，亲爱的孩子，我们本来就是孤身一人、形影相吊、彼此隔离的。社会是如此耻笑我们，我们不能说出，更不能表现出我们的柔情。死亡要比生命强大，它就像风一样穿过黑暗，毫无快乐地大笑，嘲讽地模仿着我们的哭喊。而孤独，则像垃圾一样将我们塞满…… ——卡波特（T...  

好在时间与岁月过得快，阅历馈赠给我重新审视高贵写作者的机会…… 三年前我在大学，初读这本书时，没有完全读懂。不过，中篇《伤心咖啡馆之歌》是如此经典，像打过硬仗的兵，与之交过手的人，相信都会印象深刻。卡森笔下爱密利亚小姐的形象，那时已深深地...  

从性别的来说角度来说，这实在是浅薄，麦卡勒斯不够女人。因为她不理想主义，一点都不，也没有女性作家，甚至是部分男性作家在作品里不经意间流露出的丝毫柔情。她够决绝、绝望，这似乎是一切好作家应有的“美德”。如果生活，或者你自己，还没有把自己打垮得足够彻底，那么只...  

南方女人的形象，是由福克纳和麦卡勒斯所描绘的，木刻般狰狞。  怎么说呢？汉语的南方本来应该是竹林、雨水、船、鱼和青布衣、斗笠和稻田。这是温带与亚热带之间的南方。美国的南方没有这一切，只有辣死人的墨西哥、混血儿、匕首和手枪。培养出来的南方女人无不...

从福克纳到麦卡勒斯，从《真探》到《三块广告牌》，南方从未消逝。 最近，由马丁·麦克唐纳一手编导的剧情片《三块广告牌》在第90届奥斯卡金像奖评选中惜败于吉尔莫·德尔·托罗的《水形物语》，七项提名在手，却只有弗兰西斯·麦克多蒙德和山姆·洛克威尔斩获最佳女主与男配，...

I literally read this book, and every time I read Carson I just love her more. It is an interesting journey reading Carson. At the beginning I thought Miss Amelia was weird and impossible, but when the story went on I began to understand her, and in the end I could even see her in myself! I know, her original words made me know her better!

The lover craves any possible relation with the loved, even if this experience can cause him only pain. 自私透了自私透了TAT！
