和威廉•肯尼迪一样,格雷厄姆•斯威夫特也是处于一个比较尴尬的处境;读者看到威廉•肯尼迪想到的是威廉•福克纳和约翰•肯尼迪的合体,而看到格雷厄姆•斯威夫特,读者也会想到是格雷厄姆•格林和乔纳森•斯威夫特的合体。因为有了两个比较卓越的前辈作家,...

评分好的故事 我想,好的故事应该是这样的:叙事是一束灯光,幽幽探入文本黑暗的渊薮,在光线的游移与想象的拼接中,缓慢地将黑暗呈献给敞亮,这过程犹如染色剂侵入纸张上隐秘的符码,一寸光阴一寸浸润,最终将其大白于天下。 马原极为赞赏海明威《永别了,武器》的结尾,叙事人往...
评分不过,当时买这本书真的是因为被逼无奈,老师明确要求写水之乡的论文,我赶啊赶啊到最后还是不得不为节省时间买来了中文版,花了两天时间来读完它。叙述方式很奇特,许多条线索盘根错节,所以刚开始读的时候进度很慢且索然无味,但越到后面越觉得惊心动魄,看得我险些跟着一起...

Set in the bleak Fen Country of East Anglia, and spanning some 240 years in the lives of its haunted narrator and his ancestors, Waterland is a book that takes in eels and incest, ale-making and madness, the heartless sweep of history and a family romance as tormented as any in Greek tragedy.
" Waterland , like the Hardy novels, carries with all else a profound knowledge of a people, a place, and their interweaving.... Swift tells his tale with wonderful contemporary verve and verbal felicity.... A fine and original work."-- Los Angeles Times
有深度有厚度,命运母题的一次精彩表达。历史与命运的黑暗将人物和读者深深拉扯,正像冷漠迟缓粘滞的沼地。
评分今年读过的最好的小说。

评分It's all about history— How it repeats itself, how it goes back on itself, no matter how we try to straighten it out. How it twists and turns. How it goes in circles and brings us back to the same place.
