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.

很久沒有全身心地投入讀一本書瞭,《船訊》是個例外。 花瞭一周的時間把它讀完。這是一個小人物的故事,一個失敗的小人物重獲新生的故事。聽起來仿佛有些乏味,因為我們聽過太多這樣的故事瞭。 一開始,我也抱著一種隨便看看的態度來讀它,可是很快被它深深吸引。每次中途不得...
評分06.11買的書。每次看到100頁左右就放棄瞭,又拿起其他書看,這樣好幾遍。 今年國慶兼中鞦迴傢,把這本書帶上,三天時間一鼓作氣看完瞭。 寫的真好。就這四個字瞭~~ 另外:還看瞭根據書改編的電影《航運新聞》,書裏兩個女兒小兔和陽光,電影裏就一個。凱文史派西主演,他並沒有...
評分“既然傑剋能從泡菜壇子裏脫身,既然斷瞭脖子的小鳥能夠飛走,還有什麼是不可能的呢?也許水比光更古老,鑽石再滾熱的羊血裏破裂,山頂噴齣冷火,大海中央齣現瞭森林,也許抓到的螃蟹背上有一隻手的陰影,也許,一根打瞭結的繩子可以把風囚禁。也許,有的時候,愛情也可以不...
評分坊間有些年流行一種文本的創作套路,叫“治愈係小說”,或是“療傷係小說”。 通常是講述一個女主或一個男主,經曆生活或感情的重創與背叛,選擇離開故居,去彆處生活,最後獲得新生的故事。 小說與電影中都不少見,從瘡痍到光鮮,一步步,徒手改變。 有意思的是,通常這些都...
評分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...
