Our narrator should be happy, shouldn't she? She's young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, works an easy job at a hip art gallery, lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like the rest of her needs, by her inheritance. But there is a dark and vacuous hole in her heart, and it isn't just the loss of her parents, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her best friend, Reva. It's the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong?
My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a powerful answer to that question. Through the story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad combination of drugs designed to heal our heroine from her alienation from this world, Moshfegh shows us how reasonable, even necessary, alienation can be. Both tender and blackly funny, merciless and compassionate, it is a showcase for the gifts of one of our major writers working at the height of her powers.
2018第一丧书,但是即便丧到马里亚纳海沟,还有Reva和Dr.Tuttle这两个人物时不时出来调节气氛,黑色幽默与整部小说中弥漫着的荒诞感紧密结合,一步步推动着故事往前发展。女主人公要休眠一年的决心源于一种类似于存在主义的生存危机,时间正好设定在9·11发生前的一年,也很值得玩味。可惜收尾有些潦草,女主人公复苏后的"脱胎换骨"未免显得过于理所当然。不过私心来说,这书和我今年的状态太配了,从大概念到小细节都很戳中我……
评分大概是今年听的最好笑的书,作者文笔真是好,用词不过于花哨且非常point-on。有声书的narrator did an exceptional job. A great nihilistic work. Loved the premise: when you are freed from what almost everyone in the world is worrying/hustling about, what would you do & what would be your unhappiness?
评分黑色幽默。是怎么做到这么极端的干巴巴的呀
评分家庭冷暴力的成长环境,反复无常的男友,离世的双亲,对参与社会太过积极的朋友…最精彩的是最后几十页,真正的hibernation以简单一句get rid of something作为对过往总结而开始。确实,有时候最general就是最确切,这些超出常人承受范围的凉薄与残忍只能用something来概括。全书就是描述一种在主观意愿占主导的空洞,并不是一种单纯的消极避世心理,而是在各种情绪观感慢慢退化后自己选择性与世界脱节的空洞,这是空洞也是自救。别人人眼中的浪费对于她来说只是重新洗洗底牌而已,I’m blonde pretty and young, 这个社会的入场券对这样的人来说从来不会过期。Harvard Bookstore bestseller #4
评分面对生活各有选择,书中主人公选择的是平静地过渡(逃避),但人生总得有与其抗争的一面,需要我们直接面对它,不论是痛苦还是辛辣。
