The story revolves around Long Islander Ethan Allen Hawley, who works as a clerk in a grocery store he used to own. His wife and children resent their lowly social and economic position, and don't put any value in the high levels of honesty and integrity that Ethan struggles to maintain in a corrupt society. Under this constant pressure, Hawley will eventually manage to get back the store by renouncing his morals, but the new-found wealth will not bring happiness.

相比起作者最具代表性的《愤怒的葡萄》,此作品明显更具后现代性,文章中充满了大量的心理、暗示、预感等后现代表现手法,甚至给人予悬幻的印象。不过我一直很喜欢这本书。当然《愤怒的葡萄》也是异常杰出的作品。基本上斯坦培克的作者我都很欣赏。 此次阅读又有些新的...
评分 评分这本小说在很早以前就读过。 那时候一方面冲着作者的名气去读,另一方面是冲着这个富有诗意的书名去读的。 小说的内容不是我阅读的重点,主要是想学习作者的写作方法。 很遗憾,正象前面有人问起:小说的第三章怎么人称就变成了“我”? 这也是我没有真正读完这部小说的原因...

One of Steinbeck's best. probably better than Cannery Row. Right on with the modern questions about morality: "How do you feel about backstabbing when superficially it is an act of honesty? How do you feel about letting a friend kill himself when it is disguised, and can be interpreted, as help?"

评分那些说这书无趣的是因为没有感受史旦爷爷平民化又妙趣横生的美式语言,中文译本太生硬,不怪译者,华丽的句子书看多了都会用,越是农村小说越是难译呢。写美国农村的题材是我最爱的,没有表面上的歇斯底里,却是人性与伦理实在的揪扯。
