评分阅读过程中,我常常想起《聊斋志异》,说来惭愧,聊斋我没有通读过,虽然我的网名就来自聊斋。此书能让人有聊斋之感,除了都是鬼在做主角,翻译占了很大的功劳。我已经太久没看到过如此地道的汉语翻译,甚至可以说很多地方都特别典雅。翻译何颖怡说,因为此书所描写时代为林肯...

The captivating first novel by the best-selling, National Book Award nominee George Saunders, about Abraham Lincoln and the death of his eleven year old son, Willie, at the dawn of the Civil War.
On February 22, 1862, two days after his death, Willie Lincoln was laid to rest in a marble crypt in a Georgetown cemetery. That very night, shattered by grief, Abraham Lincoln arrives at the cemetery under cover of darkness and visits the crypt, alone, to spend time with his son’s body. Set over the course of that one night and populated by ghosts of the recently passed and the long dead, Lincoln in the Bardo is a thrilling exploration of death, grief, the powers of good and evil, a novel - in its form and voice - completely unlike anything you have read before. It is also, in the end, an exploration of the deeper meaning and possibilities of life, written as only George Saunders can: with humor, pathos, and grace.
只有Willie大喊着allowed allowed 而欣然离去 其余的都是那么那么不甘愿的死亡。"At the core of each lay sufferings; our eventual end, the many losses we must experience on the way to that end". Saunders用这种结构来写小说真是相当令人惊艳。
