评分作者的语言给人的感觉就是阴沉,阴沉到呼吸和心跳都放缓了,阴沉到周围的一切都恍惚了,阴沉到似乎世界都静止了。读了会被作者的语言深深地感染着,深陷在主人公的情绪中无法自拔。 《聚会》作者叙述的方式与其说是敞开心扉式的,不如说是透骨式的。像X光片,没有丝毫掩饰和包...
评分一般家庭中都存在两种人与人之间最亲密的关系——父母与子女、丈夫与妻子。这两种亲密关系都与肉体和爱有关:前者因为先天的肉体脱胎关系而天然相爱,后者因为后天的相爱而追求肉体相融。因为夫妻之间的爱和亲密关系都是后天的,所以夫与妻既相爱又相互伤害并不奇怪;而父母与...

The Gathering is a novel by the Irish author Anne Enright. It is Enright's fourth book. It won the 2007 Man Booker Prize. It had been an outsider to win the prize, but was eventually chosen unanimously.
The novel is a saga about an Irish family set in Ireland and England.It begins with the suicide of Liam Hegarty. His family gather in Dublin for his wake. Liam's sister Veronica, the novel's narrator, looks through her family's history to try and make sense of his death. In the process she uncovers uncomfortable truths about her family. Enright described the book as "...the intellectual equivalent of a Hollywood weepie."
怪就怪你不该那样美。 孤独。
评分ravishingly painful & disturbingly good.

评分幻想多于现实
评分A dark and fragmentary record about family, past trauma and death; the book is about delving into the dark past and seeking reconciliation with it. It's sanity and madness, devastation and redemption, opening a wound and healing it all at the same time.It's a rich book. I have to confess that much of its content is beyond my understanding.
