在读卡夫卡和舒尔茨让我喘不过气来的间隙,读一读理查德·耶茨的作品是一种享受。 从《十一种孤独》开始,就非常欣赏他能用有条不紊的叙事手法,精准的描述,勾勒出 一幅又一幅简练的美国风俗画,他的作品没有跌宕起伏和花里胡哨的表现手法,没有过多玩弄的技巧反倒让他的作品...

评分去年年底课上的一个小发言,终于发出来了,也借此回应老师关于作者男性中心的论断。 美国当代小说家理查德·耶茨(Richard Yates,1926-1992)被誉为“被遗忘的最优秀的美国作家”、“作家中的作家”,是一位比较典型的生前寂寞身后名的作者。据说战后一代最重要的美国小说家...
评分这是一个由七个短篇组成的小说集。最喜欢与书名相同的那篇《恋爱中的骗子》。 恋爱是一种什么样的状态?耶茨的回答是,恋爱中,无论男女老少,都是言不由衷的骗子。 男人女人在一起,就像是一场化妆舞会,每个人都极力把自己打扮成自己认为最好的样子,从外貌,到举止,到谈吐...

Liars in Love is concerned with troubled relations and the elusive nature of truth:
Hope, dread, disorder, and a nervous entangling of separate lives in Greenwich Village during the Depression, as seen by a child, in 'Oh, Joseph, I’m So Tired'. The volatile, perilous course of events set in motion when two divorced mothers agree to “pool their resources” and live together, with their children in 'Trying Out for the Race'. A young American soldier’s too-abrupt postwar reunion, on foreign soil, with the lovely, dismayingly grown-up sister he hasn’t seen since he was eleven and she was ten, in 'A Compassionate Leave'.
The seven stories in this collection showcase Yates's extraordinary gift for observation and description. The last and longest of them, a rich, lucid, and compelling piece called 'Saying Goodbye to Sally', achieves a fitting conclusion for the book – and a resonant final statement of its theme.
一个个挣扎着的文艺青年。

评分周末顺手就翻出一篇读读,断断续续看了一个年头。喜欢作者有所保留的情绪表达,他让萧索的生活在文字里保留原貌,让他自己看起来那么残忍又智慧。
评分complete honesty is merely a rosy imagination
评分Yates 的短篇一如既往地好看 展现在我们面前的是一个个普通人的人生侧面:从给罗斯福做头像的女雕塑家的儿子,到为爱嫁给离婚导师的Nice girl;从寄居英国留学却妻离子散偶遇流莺的留学生,到战后滞留法国梦想艳遇的士兵.....不过一个个短篇中的人物,都带着灰色的背影,不是这样的不如意,例如离婚而索居;就是那样的不如意,职场失意,情场也失意。想着Yates本身也是酗酒如命而在美国文坛不如意,他笔下人物的不幸也就好理解了。不过世人不都是这样,意淫别人的痛苦,自己也许就可以从人生的痛苦解脱。
