Anne Enright was born in Dublin, where she now lives and works. She has published three volumes of stories, one book of nonfiction, and five novels. In 2015, she was named the inaugural Laureate for Irish Fiction. Her novel The Gathering won the Man Booker Prize, and The Forgotten Waltz won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction.
Pretty early on in The Gathering you realize that in her lingering portrait of the Hegarty clan (and this isn't hyperbole--they are a family of 12), Irish novelist Anne Enright will wrestle with all the giant literary tropes that have come before her. Family, of course, is the big one, but with equal intensity she explores death and dying, the sea and its siren song, sex, shame, secrecy, unreliable memories, madness, "the drink," and--always in the shadows--England. That said, it's not like any other novel about the Irish that I've read. The story of the Hegartys is indeed bleak, and hard, but it surges with tenderness and eloquent thought which, in the end, are the very things that help this family (or at least her narrator Veronica) survive. Through her eyes, and in Enright's skillful imagination, those small turning-point moments of life that we all know in some form or another--a petty fight, a careless word, an event witnessed--come together in an unshakeable vision of how you become the person you are. --Anne Bartholomew

評分我得到的是震撼的效果,就像傢門前突然有個美不勝收的雕塑,,她是一個女作傢,一個讓我萌生愛意的女作傢,為瞭她也許我會拋棄愛妻和誓言。很喜歡她的作品,有時間會再讀她的其他作品。我徘徊在她的語境中,就像置於密林,時而有綠眼的狼群在奔跑,時而有婆娑的樹影讓我思索,...

評分 評分這還是我第一次讀到愛爾蘭作傢的作品,自然是抱著一種新鮮感開捲的。平時接觸的西方文學中,如果說英國文學,那是十分熟悉的,然而對於愛爾蘭,卻隻有一個模糊的印象。而要想真正深刻的理解一個作傢的作品,他身上的民族烙印、生活經曆又是不可忽視的。 《聚會》...
