約翰•厄普代剋(John Updike,1932.3.18—2009.1.27),集小說傢、詩人、劇作傢、散文傢和評論傢於一身的美國當代文學大師,作品兩獲普利策奬、兩獲國傢圖書奬以及歐•亨利奬等眾多奬項多達十數次。“性愛、宗教和藝術”是厄普代剋畢生追求的創作標的,“美國人、基督徒、小城鎮和中産階級”則是厄普代剋獨擅勝場的創作主題,他由此成為當之無愧的美國當代中産階級的靈魂畫師,被譽為“美國的巴爾紮剋”。
Review
"I can think of no other novel, even in these years of our sexual freedom, as sexually explicit in its language...as direct in its sexual reporting, as abundant in its sexual activities." -- The Atlantic Monthly
"Trapped in their cozy catacombs, the couples have made sex by turns their toy, their glue, their trauma, their therapy, their hope, their frustration, their revenge, their narcotics, their main line of communication and their sole and pitiable shield against the awareness of death. Adultery, says Updike, has become a kind of 'imaginative quest' for successful hedonism that would enable man to enjoy an otherwise meaningless life....The couples of Tarbox live in a place and time that together seem to have been ordained for this quest." -- Time

評論《夫婦們》,對我來說是一樁攪和瞭不少私人情感的事情。在過去的十多年中,我一直對厄普代剋懷有某種親近感。我看瞭他差不多所有翻譯成中文的小說,其中的一些還讀過好多遍。塞林格不是藉霍爾頓之口說過嗎,世界上有兩種好作傢,一種讀完瞭作品之後你不會對其本人産...
評分我不知道我看瞭什麼,我隻知道我完全不知道自己處在哪個時代。 關於性方麵的描寫是赤裸裸的,一個群體在彼此交換著自己的妻子和丈夫,最後還有人成功的找到瞭愛情結成瞭新的夫婦。其實看瞭我都有種懷疑人生的感覺。以我膚淺的看法,不禁覺得這是一場悲劇,也是人們在富足...

評分雖然《夫婦們》(1968)比《兔子迴傢》(1971)寫的早,但我是先看《迴傢》再看《夫婦們》的,所以大火這個段子我是第二次看到瞭。《兔子迴傢》中,兔子發現傢中失火,燒死瞭他的小情人;《夫婦們》中,混亂的塔博科斯小鎮的教堂著瞭火,不過倒沒人員傷亡。何以在相隔3年的...
