From one of the Observer's Rising Stars of 2017, a high-risk, highbrow and intimate novel – and one of the most anticipated works of fiction this year.
Conversations with Friends is about Frances, Bobbi, Nick and Melissa, four characters who ask each other endless questions. As their relationships unfold, in person and online, they discuss sex and friendship, art and literature, politics and gender, and, of course, one another. Twenty-one-year-old Frances is at the heart of it all, bringing us this tale of a complex menage-a-quatre and her affair with Nick, an older married man.
You can read Conversations with Friends as a romantic comedy, or you can read it as a feminist text. You can read it as a book about infidelity, about the pleasures and difficulties of intimacy, or about how our minds think about our bodies. However you choose to read it, it is an unforgettable novel about the possibility of love.
'Fascinating, ferocious and shrewd. Sally Rooney has the sharpest eye for all of the most delicate cruelties of human interaction.' (Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies)
'Sally Rooney is a writer going all the way to the top. Conversations with Friends features the twenty-first century Irish descendents of Salinger's guileless wiseasses brought to life in prose as taut and coolly poised as early Bret Easton Ellis.' (Colin Barrett, author of Young Skins)
'Written with such precision and perceptiveness, full of arid humour and reckless despair, a novel of spine-tingling salience.' (Sara Baume, author of Spill Simmer Falter Wither)
'Forensically smart and pin-sharp witty, this is a book to cherish and a writer to fall in love with.' (Thomas Morris, author of We Don't Know What We're Doing)

通常來說,在西方語境裏的韆禧一代“Millennials”(1981-1996)不算特彆正麵的形象。他們重度依賴社交媒體和現代化通信手段,離開智能手機和筆記本電腦基本無法生活。寫過《美國精神病人》的布雷特·伊斯頓·艾利斯(Bret Easton Ellis)是位六零後同誌,和一個小他二十多歲的...
評分是因為Normal People, Rooney的第二本書與這位作者結緣的。從情感上來講,我更喜歡Normal People, 就故事而言感覺它更完整,也更牽動我的情緒。可Rooney的這本debut 倒是讓我閤上書的時候想的更多。 Rooney目前的兩本書都有同一特點, 就是如果用一句話概括它的主綫,讀者很容...
評分好細緻。 77,i gave him head.少兒不太宜。 121,《花與愛麗絲》。 177,此處有呼應。為什麼尼剋需要女人笑的迴應。women laughing always relaxed him. 213,葉芝躺槍。 233,暗中偷負去,夜半真給力。照理moved和touched,應該是前者力道更足,實則未必。總歸是動瞭,移動的...

這處女作,實在是太當下太摩登瞭。太好看,如果不是被各種打斷,完全可以不停歇看完。二十一歲女孩和三十三大叔偷情的故事,心理描寫行雲流水過癮到不行,糾結猶豫厭惡後悔享受復雜,整本書幾乎就是弗朗西斯的心理描寫不停地重復加強。再加上其他人物們輪番交鋒,真的很時代性。人物已經不存在討不討喜瞭,你喜不喜歡,都無所謂,這就是當代男男女女。Sally Rooney紅的有道理,佩服。
評分事實上,很多事情都是go through before you understand.
評分這年頭要讀到寫得如此sweetly erotic又不做作的性愛場麵是多麼難啊!可能隻有好大學的年輕女學生纔會把性愛寫得這樣宜人吧,換一種身份這種寫法就難以想象瞭。這本相比後來的Normal People結構上要笨拙一些,但對relationship中的權力關係和階級差異的探討已經開始瞭。問題在於第一人稱+大段心理描寫很容易讓人覺得過於顧影自憐,好在主人公還不算太討人嫌。最厲害的是用即時通訊式的語言成功地完成瞭一個長篇,坦誠、情感豐沛、對細節敏感又不過度留戀,節奏靈活。即時通訊創造瞭一種混閤瞭口語和書麵語的語言,而這部小說把這種語言裏麵最好的特質發揚光大瞭。
評分準確,因此展示齣我們這種軟弱又自毀的左派韆禧一代到底能有多煩人。
評分We all have to go through certain things before we understand them.
