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.

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When I was in senior high three years ago, I gave up Pride and Prejudice after reading about thirty pages, just a small fraction of that copy. Many a time I was faced with a 70-word sentence without any punctuation marks and it always ended in analyzing its...
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...
評分中午一個人吃飯,炒個空心菜,燉個魚湯就好瞭。省下的時間正好用來看書。樓下的鋤草機轟轟開瞭一個上午。空氣裏都是草汁的苦味。我在非常草本和飽和的幸福感裏,讀一本濕冷的苦書。安尼.普魯的《船訊》。書首介紹她是《斷背山》的原著作者,當時我心裏就想“壞瞭”,一個作傢是...
