Sebastian Barry has won the Costa Book of the Year Award, the Hughes & Hughes Irish Novel of the Year Award, and the Walter Scott Prize. His work has twice been short-listed for the Man Booker Prize. He is the author of six previous novels and lives in Ireland.
“I am thinking of the days without end of my life. And it is not like that now.”
From the two-time Man Booker Prize finalist Sebastian Barry, “a master storyteller” (Wall Street Journal), comes a powerful new novel of duty and family set against the American Indian and Civil Wars
Thomas McNulty, aged barely seventeen and having fled the Great Famine in Ireland, signs up for the U.S. Army in the 1850s. With his brother in arms, John Cole, Thomas goes on to fight in the Indian Wars—against the Sioux and the Yurok—and, ultimately, the Civil War. Orphans of terrible hardships themselves, the men find these days to be vivid and alive, despite the horrors they see and are complicit in.
Moving from the plains of Wyoming to Tennessee, Sebastian Barry’s latest work is a masterpiece of atmosphere and language. An intensely poignant story of two men and the makeshift family they create with a young Sioux girl, Winona, Days Without End is a fresh and haunting portrait of the most fateful years in American history and is a novel never to be forgotten.

You don’t need good grammar to write beautiful prose and tell a story that touches the soul, 這纔是真正的stylist writing, 我之前看的都是什麼玩意兒(還對exit west hold很深的grudge),看哭瞭,新年第一讀,一本滿足。#1

評分真的太難讀啦…plot一些戰爭的部分很懵,但很吃其prose這一套。雙男主異裝跳舞太美,從年少跳到年壯,跳到穿不下女裝。Thomas對John一往情深,但感覺John對Thomas挺平淡的?看到前人短評,個人感覺確實沒法公開宣傳這是一本gay novel,兩人感情不是大篇幅,也沒有大進展,就淡淡的美。2017年西方不會有齣版社害怕宣傳gay題材吧?
