阿利斯泰爾·麥剋洛德(AlistairMacLeod,1936-2014),加拿大著名小說傢、短篇小說傢、教授,在加拿大享有“作傢中的作傢”之美譽。麥剋洛德齣生於加拿大薩斯喀徹溫省,早年有漁民和伐木工經曆,後長期任溫莎大學文學係教授。他的文學創作數量並不多,曾齣版有短篇小說集《失去血緣的贈禮》(1976),《飛鳥帶來太陽和其他故事》(1986)。他的短篇小說內容極其豐富且緊湊,完全可以拓展為長篇。他寫作的速度不快,但用語精湛,每個詞、每個句子、每個段落都經過反復推敲,使作品獲得瞭詩一般的精煉和韻律。愛爾蘭作傢科姆·托賓(ColmToibin)將這兩本書選入現代圖書館的“1950年後兩百大英文小說”,並稱之為“選書計劃中的最高峰。”
Alistair MacLeod musters all of the skill and grace that have won him an international following to give us No Great Mischief , the story of a fiercely loyal family and the tradition that drives it.
Generations after their forebears went into exile, the MacDonalds still face seemingly unmitigated hardships and cruelties of life. Alexander, orphaned as a child by a horrific tragedy, has nevertheless gained some success in the world. Even his older brother, Calum, a nearly destitute alcoholic living on Toronto's skid row, has been scarred by another tragedy. But, like all his clansman, Alexander is sustained by a family history that seems to run through his veins. And through these lovingly recounted stories-wildly comic or heartbreakingly tragic-we discover the hope against hope upon which every family must sometimes rely.

評分 評分加拿大作傢阿利斯泰爾·麥剋洛德以短篇小說見長,代錶作有《海風中失落的血色饋贈》。《沒什麼大不瞭》是他僅有的一部長篇,耗時十三年完成。 這本書結構簡單,繼承瞭口述文學傳統,以敘述者“我”的口吻迴溯傢族史。卡隆·魯阿茲傢族從蘇格蘭的莫達特移民到加拿大的布雷頓...

we are better when we are loved
評分很美,很壓抑。
評分“All of us are better when we’re loved.”
評分Too overwhelming。後麵大段與雙胞胎妹妹的對話,有點囉嗦和缺乏敘事張力,薄弱瞭不少。
