“如果说我的作品有一个主题,我怀疑这个主题并不复杂,那就是绝大多数人都生活在一种无法逃避的孤独中,他们的悲剧也在此。” ————理查德·耶茨 “福楼拜以来,少有人对那些生活得苦不...
评分在去鼓浪屿的途中读了这本书。读后我把书留在了返程的飞机上。回到家,回到妈妈身边让她紧紧抱着我,还好这世上还有一个人真心关心我。我不要孤独。 这本小说的叙述方式是平铺直述的,象似毫无波澜,但实际上是直扣人的内心深处,毫不留情。他不给你答案,不给你希...

The famous opening line of the novel warns of the bleak narrative to follow, "Neither of the Grimes sisters would have a happy life, and looking back it always seemed that the trouble began with their parents’ divorce." Emily and Sarah Grimes are sisters who share little in terms of character but much in terms of disappointment with their lives. Emily, the more intellectual and cosmopolitan of the two, seeks love in numerous disappointing affairs and short-term relationships while Sarah, the prettier and more conventional sister, marries young and bears children to an uncouth and abusive husband. Their troubled, rootless mother, Pookie, like many Yatesian matriarchs, is likely modeled on his own mother, who was nicknamed "Dookie". The novel, beginning in the 1930s when the sisters are children and ending in the 1970s with Sarah's death, primarily revolves around Emily as the book's central character, though the book employs Yates' characteristic and seamless shifts of consciousness throughout.
As touching as it is real, as beautiful as it is sad.
评分好看,讲女性的孤独,Emily自由但孤独,Sarah结婚早,恋爱结婚,老公不争气,一样孤独。
评分一口气读完,看完除了难受和绝望之外想不出其他的词了。故事从始至终都没有所谓的巨大灾难,两个姐妹的人生就这么不动声色地滑到了日常的悲剧里。真心感觉到每个女性的人生都是一部厚厚的苦难史。
评分在不断累积的期望中一口气读完全书,却发现等待着她们的未来并不会更好,只会越来越糟。偶尔看到自己的影子。
评分作者像是个温柔而冷静的旁观者,流水般的笔触写出迫人的忧伤。沉稳的笔调下是平静而又残酷的痛和孤独。当Peter说“if we have another girl we might name her after you”时,Emily哭,我也哭,因为我知道她和她姐姐一样,等于是死了。
