我有时候在想,为什么我们这个时代没有勃朗特姐妹,没有Virginia Woolf,没有Sylvia Plath?是不是我们这一代人已经被科技毁掉了,几乎没有人还能坐下来写小说、读小说了? 但现在我们有Sally Rooney。感谢上天。她来给我们这一代人写了属于我们这个时代的小说。 我不打算将Sal...

Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland. The similarities end there; they are from very different worlds. When they both earn places at Trinity College in Dublin, a connection that has grown between them lasts long into the following years.
This is an exquisite love story about how a person can change another person's life - a simple yet profound realisation that unfolds beautifully over the course of the novel. It tells us how difficult it is to talk about how we feel and it tells us - blazingly - about cycles of domination, legitimacy and privilege. Alternating menace with overwhelming tenderness, Sally Rooney's second novel breathes fiction with new life.

评分不止一次看书的时候觉得是不是过分melodramatic了,可是细想又觉得也很生活化,Rooney把年轻人成长中的纠结无措表达得特别细腻,在自己的内心世界“我”总是独特的,与什么对立的,可是在外界看来就是普通的平凡的人,事实也往往就是这样。
评分布克药丸。根本搞不懂这本怎么hype起来的。首先写法极其minimalist,基本没有超过两行的句子;plot就是来来回回一对smartass少年少女之间穷折腾,从第一页矫情到最后一页也没settle下来(你到底爱不爱我~我不知道该说些什么)。这么个东西说好听点叫personal, exquisite,大白话就是shallow & sentimental。可能更适合YA读者吧。
评分人格预设,女孩富有阴郁独立,男孩贫穷阳光开朗,都学习好。接下来就是展开,写作方法太极简,明目张胆摘取人生片段对话和心理来推进故事,加入的性受虐和抑郁的“复杂”心理,让Normal的主题也不太Normal了。初看之下,觉得是英国安妮宝贝,其实压根就没看过安妮宝贝,也可能是周嘉宁或者张悦然?不过太好读了,是真的,故事突然截止在一次可以预见的分别,这算啥?
评分和前作一样的顺畅好读,文笔细腻灵巧。更喜欢这本探讨的主题,和他人的关系怎样帮助自己探索 identity,找到自己,但这中间又充满了反复和复杂。
