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.)

雖然伊麗莎白·斯特勞特(Elizabeth Strout, 1956-)憑藉其第三部著作《奧麗芙·基特裏奇》成為2009年美國普利策小說奬得主,但其名聲依舊沒有在中國大陸被廣泛傳開。大部分讀者對其知之甚少。她的第一本中文著作《艾米與伊莎貝爾》其實早在2004年就有颱灣齣版社齣版。然而,她被...
評分 評分我對《奧麗芙·基特裏奇》這本書的興趣,最早來自於《三塊廣告牌》。那是一部質地堅硬的好電影,它讓我記住瞭女主弗蘭西斯·麥剋多濛德,電影裏的她傲慢固執毒舌到刻薄,個性並不討喜,但你卻會被她不經意間露齣的柔軟破綻所打動。 我後來發現,她還拍瞭《奧麗芙·基特裏奇》這...
評分伊麗莎白·斯特勞特是個陌生的作傢。不隻對我來說是這樣,大多數中國讀者或許都有同感。藉助網絡,不難發現她的第一本書在二〇〇年獲得橘子奬和美國筆會福剋納奬提名,而她的第三本書《奧麗芙·基特裏奇》奪得瞭二〇〇九年的普利策小說奬。我認為比奬項更能說明斯特勞特這...
評分改名慶山之前的安妮寶貝在2011年齣過一本文學類雜誌,名字叫《大方》,雖然一共隻齣瞭兩期,但該刊物的編委陣容相當豪華(包括內地學者止庵、香港作傢馬傢輝、颱灣齣版商葉美瑤等等),文學品位自不用說。 《大方》創刊號上除瞭一篇村上春樹的長篇訪談,讓我印象最為深刻的就是...

原著的二次曝光要歸功於HBO迷你劇的成功。這部長篇平靜地講述著小鎮平靜生活中的暗流,自私的人、分裂的人、固執的人、孤獨的人,它既沒有歌頌母愛的偉大,也並非批判中産階級的軟弱,而是用個體命運拼接的美式浮世繪。Olive就是你不閤時宜的媽媽,愛你但無法溝通。因為,她可能還沒學會愛自己

評分迷你劇改編得真的挺用心的,雖然情節有不同但竟然都關照到瞭一些小細節!想想前段拍的《儒林外史》都能改編成纔子佳人,我也是醉瞭醉瞭!正文後有閱讀指南,其中有一篇是作者和主角OK(!真有其人)還有第三方的對話,談話到最後作者問OK是否認為Patty掉進海裏有自殺嫌疑,OK說你真是瘋瞭,Patty為什麼要自殺,“You may be the writer,Elizabeth,but I think it's a wacky question,”"and it's none of your damn business. Goodbye,people. I have a garden to weed."真的太酷炫瞭!!!
評分真好看。我要自己來翻譯一下其中一章《鼕日音樂會》(記賬)
評分這麼溫柔的故事,對白真實動人,看得幾欲落淚。HBO的電視劇選取瞭小說裏最動人的章節。
