無庸置疑,《慍怒》是一部同志文學作品。如同華文世界最富盛名的同志經典《孽子》,愛爾蘭作家約翰.波恩在《慍怒》的開場隨即呈現出「罷家」的場景,無怪乎紀大偉曾論及:「『和家庭發生衝突』這種橋段儼如同性戀者的試金石,彷彿可以證明誰才最有資格自稱同性戀者。」話雖如...

评分我是读了几个章节之后才发现,本书的作者就是《穿条纹睡衣的男孩》的作者 - 爱尔兰作家约翰·伯恩。《穿条纹睡衣的男孩》当年曾排在纽约时报的畅销书榜首,后来又被改编成了同名电影。但是因为从内容,写作手法等等方面,都完全没有相似度,我压根没有想到是同一个作者。这个发...

Cyril Avery is not a real Avery -- or at least, that's what his adoptive parents tell him. And he never will be. But if he isn't a real Avery, then who is he?
Born out of wedlock to a teenage girl cast out from her rural Irish community and adopted by a well-to-do if eccentric Dublin couple via the intervention of a hunchbacked Redemptorist nun, Cyril is adrift in the world, anchored only tenuously by his heartfelt friendship with the infinitely more glamourous and dangerous Julian Woodbead. At the mercy of fortune and coincidence, he will spend a lifetime coming to know himself and where he came from - and over his many years, will struggle to discover an identity, a home, a country, and much more.
In this, Boyne's most transcendent work to date, we are shown the story of Ireland from the 1940s to today through the eyes of one ordinary man. The Heart's Invisible Furies is a novel to make you laugh and cry while reminding us all of the redemptive power of the human spirit.
4.5 70年的历史进程与个人成长,一开始太难喜欢Cyril前三十年做出的种种决定,但迫于那个时代那个社会他也无可奈何。可惜的是在国内的我们这一代人最终注定会像老去的他们一样站在岸上,看着远去的行船感叹生不逢时。
评分"They were wrong about everything." 随着主人公Cyril Avery的脚步,读着他的人生,我们看到的是爱尔兰40年代开始的时代变化,虽是侧面描写爱尔兰的宗教、政治背景,但我们能看到人们因为生活在这样社会里受到的影响、挣扎,与看似微小却让人感触良多的不妥协。 之前了解关于爱尔兰历史、天主教的影响太少了,所以哪怕笔墨不着重在这方面,还是感觉获悉了不少。唯一的遗憾就是作者的文风并不是我最爱的风格,但不可否认,对几位人物还是印象深刻。
评分读过最厚的书。即使过去特别混乱,到一个新的地方,遇见一个对的人,生活又焕然一新了。过去的人和事到社会又变化了一点再去面对。
评分LGBTQ的辛酸历程非常动人,但文字本身并没有打动我。有些人物很单薄,比如Maud和Bastian,反复强调Bastian是一生挚爱,但这个角色存在感几乎为零,每次出现都是寥寥几句叙述就过去了——不要管他和男主为什么会相爱,只要记住他们相爱就够了,这样的展开很没有说服力哎。Goodreads有人指出了一些史实方面的硬伤,被喜欢的读者用“it's a story”强行解释了。我就,嗯……算是高分书里我比较不喜欢的一本
