Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, "The Shipping News" is a celebration of Annie Proulx's genius for storytelling and her vigorous contribution to the art of the novel.Quoyle, a third-rate newspaper hack, with a "head shaped like a crenshaw, no neck, reddish hair...features as bunched as kissed fingertips," is wrenched violently out of his workaday life when his two-timing wife meets her just deserts. An aunt convinces Quoyle and his two emotionally disturbed daughters to return with her to the starkly beautiful coastal landscape of their ancestral home in Newfoundland. Here, on desolate Quoyle's Point, in a house empty except for a few mementos of the family's unsavory past, the battered members of three generations try to cobble up new lives.Newfoundland is a country of coast and cove where the mercury rarely rises above 70 degrees, the local culinary delicacy is cod cheeks, and it's easier to travel by boat and snowmobile than on anything with wheels. In this harsh place of cruel storms, a collapsing fishery, and chronic unemployment, the aunt sets up as a yacht upholsterer in nearby Killick-Claw, and Quoyle finds a job reporting the shipping news for the local weekly, the "Gammy Bird" (a paper that specializes in sexual-abuse stories and grisly photos of car accidents).As the long winter closes its jaws of ice, each of the Quoyles confronts private demons, reels from catastrophe to minor triumph -- in the company of the obsequious Mavis Bangs; Diddy Shovel the strongman; drowned Herald Prowse; cane-twirling Beety; Nutbeem, who steals foreign news from the radio; a demented cousin the aunt refuses to recognize; the much-zippered Alvin Yark; silent Wavey; and old Billy Pretty, with his bag of secrets. By the time of the spring storms Quoyle has learned how to gut cod, to escape from a pickle jar, and to tie a true lover's knot.

在深圳書店隨手翻到安妮普魯的THE SHIPPING NEWS,還沒有意識到這個安妮普魯就是短篇小說BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN的作者ANNIE PROULX。 短短幾十頁的BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN,受盡一些愛書人的好評。起初以為是因為小說描寫瞭邊緣題材的故事,纔受到追捧。 但看瞭THE SHIPPING NEWS的開...
評分這本書吸引我的第一要素,不是其作者的顯赫,甚至跟它的內容無關。我的一眼看到它的封麵時,就莫明喜歡上瞭那種感覺--帶點清冽,帶點冷寂。而這種感覺通常都會使我沉溺。語言的簡約不消說,更有趣的是它若乾個用巧妙作喻的細節。這種洗練的文字讓人非常的舒服。哪怕是最深情的...
評分《船訊》中,比利•布萊蒂死去的父親經常說:每個男人心中都有四個女人。草地上的小姐,魔鬼戀人,勇敢的女人,高個子的文靜女人。 他也不知道父親的話是什麼意思。 《船訊》是美國女作傢安妮•普魯的第二部長篇小說,齣版於1993年。 安妮•普魯就是寫《斷背山》的那個...
評分翻開瞭三四頁就能斷定是一本能打動我的書。淺促卻仿佛是潑墨山水畫一抹墨跡的比喻句,短短句子卻吊著化不開的一口氣,全都在鼕天南方的潮濕陽光天裏打發瞭。安娜普魯文風粗礪,平靜卻藏著一股感情深深的潛流。 一個似乎熟悉的主題,男人、海、船、未知的命運,但是經由安娜◎...
評分開始的幾章,讀得相當緩慢。 奎爾的黑人哥們永遠喋喋不休,但每句話又快又準。奎爾的愛情開始得不可思議,但激情迅速淪落為可怕的婚姻,好像在草原上無意發現大簇的野花,步入其中卻陷入沼澤,怎麼努力怎麼掙紮都是徒勞,快要完全沉沒時自欺欺人地以為這大概也是幸福。 我就...
