具体描述

In this magically evocative novel, William Maxwell explores the enigmatic gravity of the past, which compels us to keep explaining it even as it makes liars out of us every time we try. On a winter morning in the 1920s, a shot rings out on a farm in rural Illinois. A man named Lloyd Wilson has been killed. And the tenuous friendship between two lonely teenagers—one privileged yet neglected, the other a troubled farm boy—has been shattered.Fifty years later, one of those boys—now a grown man—tries to reconstruct the events that led up to the murder. In doing so, he is inevitably drawn back to his lost friend Cletus, who has the misfortune of being the son of Wilson's killer and who in the months before witnessed things that Maxwell's narrator can only guess at. Out of memory and imagination, the surmises of children and the destructive passions of their parents, Maxwell creates a luminous American classic of youth and loss.

小说很薄，即便是慢慢地读，也读的很快。作者麦克斯韦尔在书中采用了双线叙事，像一出简单但扣人心弦的文艺小品，将故事缓缓道来。书中的一条线是一件涉及两个家庭的凶杀案的始末，另一条线是小说主人公“我”与杀人凶手儿子之间友谊的发展与消亡。两条线通过“我”的追忆慢慢...  

越长大越明了，有些事情错过了就再也无法挽回，童年是幼稚而简单的，但有些遗憾终究会留在生命中时刻纠缠着自己无休无止。《再见明天见》这部小说，就用细腻的文笔，真挚的情感，讲述了一段童年时期的遗憾。 《再见，明天见》作者威廉•麦克斯韦尔 ，是著名编辑、小说家、散...
