From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Thirteen linked tales from Strout (Abide with Me, etc.) present a heart-wrenching, penetrating portrait of ordinary coastal Mainers living lives of quiet grief intermingled with flashes of human connection. The opening Pharmacy focuses on terse, dry junior high-school teacher Olive Kitteridge and her gregarious pharmacist husband, Henry, both of whom have survived the loss of a psychologically damaged parent, and both of whom suffer painful attractions to co-workers. Their son, Christopher, takes center stage in A Little Burst, which describes his wedding in humorous, somewhat disturbing detail, and in Security, where Olive, in her 70s, visits Christopher and his family in New York. Strout's fiction showcases her ability to reveal through familiar details—the mother-of-the-groom's wedding dress, a grandmother's disapproving observations of how her grandchildren are raised—the seeds of tragedy. Themes of suicide, depression, bad communication, aging and love, run through these stories, none more vivid or touching than Incoming Tide, where Olive chats with former student Kevin Coulson as they watch waitress Patty Howe by the seashore, all three struggling with their own misgivings about life. Like this story, the collection is easy to read and impossible to forget. Its literary craft and emotional power will surprise readers unfamiliar with Strout. (Apr.)

读后感

海岸，平静的克劳斯比小镇，脾气暴躁的奥丽芙·基特里奇有一个“好好先生”式的丈夫和一个与她日渐疏远的儿子，生活看上去水波不兴，却有股股暗流涌动。 在镇上，奥丽芙也有意无意地充当了其他人生命中的过客：一个想自杀的忧郁青年，一个患上厌食症的年轻女孩，一个数年如一日...  

伊丽莎白·斯特劳特是个陌生的作家。不只对我来说是这样，大多数中国读者或许都有同感。借助网络，不难发现她的第一本书在二〇〇年获得橘子奖和美国笔会福克纳奖提名，而她的第三本书《奥丽芙·基特里奇》夺得了二〇〇九年的普利策小说奖。我认为比奖项更能说明斯特劳特这...  

改名庆山之前的安妮宝贝在2011年出过一本文学类杂志，名字叫《大方》，虽然一共只出了两期，但该刊物的编委阵容相当豪华（包括内地学者止庵、香港作家马家辉、台湾出版商叶美瑶等等），文学品位自不用说。 《大方》创刊号上除了一篇村上春树的长篇访谈，让我印象最为深刻的就是...  

我对《奥丽芙·基特里奇》这本书的兴趣，最早来自于《三块广告牌》。那是一部质地坚硬的好电影，它让我记住了女主弗兰西斯·麦克多蒙德，电影里的她傲慢固执毒舌到刻薄，个性并不讨喜，但你却会被她不经意间露出的柔软破绽所打动。 我后来发现，她还拍了《奥丽芙·基特里奇》这...  

我读《奥丽芙·基特里奇》的过程中，一直想着伊利莎白·斯特劳斯是不是汲取了美国南方文学的精髓，虽然关于这位作家的资料并不多，但得知她出生在美国最东北部的缅因州——也就是闻名全球的恐怖小说家斯蒂芬·金的故乡——并在那里度过童年时，大概也不无理由认为，为什么她...  

用户评价

我的2016年度最喜爱小说。

活着真好啊~无论如何，活着真好

完全不是简介说的那么轻巧。文后读者指导里都是好问题。故事一个叠一个 越来越精妙厚重 从第二个开始入迷 每个都如此精彩 比现实复杂。迷恋????小说尽量还是看原版才地道。一辈子满满的愤怒该如何化解。人生真是一言难尽又舍不得放手。
