自从2019年《聊天记录》出版后,就陆续有国内媒体朋友希望通过我们联系萨莉·鲁尼做专访。我每次联系鲁尼的经纪人Tracy,都无功而返。去年8月,也就是《美丽的世界,你在哪里》英文版上市前,鲁尼的经纪人Tracy来信说,由于萨莉·鲁尼这几年推辞了世界各国绝大多数的媒体采访,...
评分如果要盘点最近几年正当红的青年作家,爱尔兰作家萨莉·鲁尼一定榜上有名。 从《聊天记录》到《正常人》再到最近的新作《美丽的世界,你在哪里》,鲁尼的每一部作品都堪称全球现象级畅销小说。其中,根据《正常人》(Normal People)改编的同名剧集,也掀起一轮收视狂潮,同时收...

Alice, a novelist, meets Felix, who works in a distribution warehouse, and asks him if he'd like to travel to Rome with her. In Dublin, her best friend Eileen is getting over a break-up, and slips back into flirting with Simon, a man she has known since childhood.
Alice, Felix, Eileen and Simon are still young-but life is catching up with them. They desire each other, they delude each other, they get together, they break apart. They have sex, they worry about sex, they worry about their friendships and the world they live in. Are they standing in the last lighted room before the darkness, bearing witness to something? Will they find a way to believe in a beautiful world?
4 優缺點都很明顯。一貫的細膩但也有點裝逼。明顯看到Rooney想跳出舒適區但反而不及前兩本寫學生圈子那麼自然流暢,兩對cp中Eileen和Simon這對年齡差組合是延續前兩部的設定,都是心靈受創渴愛乖乖女和穩重成熟爛好人(中央空調)的青梅竹馬虐戀,Rooney寫這種設定的確所向無敵。不過Simon的天主教徒身分挺有趣的,他倆有次開船之後去彌撒簡直就是侯麥的道德故事。比較突破的就是Alice和Felix這對,Alice明顯是作者本人爆紅後的化身,Felix反而在前兩本找不到類似的角色,基本上是4人組裡經常發表一針見血的評論的正常人,不過他的角色塑造也是最單薄。寫派對晚宴那兩章有點Woolf捕捉生命的吉光片羽的上帝視角的味道,的確花了心思,就是最後疫情封城那兩封郵件畫蛇添足,還是心軟了
评分前面当爱情故事看两对cp人设都挺有意思,Simon我爱了,车开得也不错。邮件里那些人类文明等深度话题探讨,透过表象其实还是在说自己。后面就看出两个女孩依然Marianne,原生家庭不幸福,回避型依恋人格,一个因为自我厌弃而看似冷漠,一个极度渴望被需要以致在亲密关系里踟蹰不前。阅读体验应该也是有人觉得矫情,有人觉得细腻汹涌吧,对我来说两种时刻都有,整体比前两本喜欢。
评分这是关于30左右的当代爱尔兰年轻人的故事。整本书大致分成两部分(Alice 和Eileen两位闺蜜之间的邮件来往、和拉远镜头看围绕她俩身边发生的事情),交替章节呈现。相比她的前两本作品,这一本的人物和话题都更成熟些,在Rooney一直极具洞察力的笔触下,将30岁面临的问题(与20岁时不同的,却同样对人生和对世界有着很多不确定的感受)很自然地描绘出来。Rooney的写作每次都给人想讨论的空间,而我最喜欢的就是她塑造的人物互动时的真实感,每每都觉得我就在那个场景下,近距离听到看到这些人。她通过描写人物之间的那种冲突和张力都是很微妙的,在人物互动中反应出人物内心对世界的疑问,比如本书中关于性的描写,会突然让我明白为什么有话说 “所有事都与性有关,唯独性本身,性是一种权力。” 细腻入微。
评分“the most ordinary thing about human being is not violence or greed, it’s love and care”. 结合了normal people的爱情和conversations的友情,脆弱易碎的心灵和缺乏安全感的人性,总是在一个看似轻松的夜晚爆发。”I love you but I don’t wanna hurt you”是所有年轻人爱而不得的借口。每个人都以自己的方式爱朋友、恋人,也总渴望着对方能以同样的方式回答,稍有偏差便自我怀疑这份感情的饱和度,这样于己于人都很累。这本书更多像是和自己对话,借着Eileen和Alice的邮件,一遍遍解答内心的疑问。btw,作者某些场景写得很温柔:)
评分两个女孩的通信太奇妙了,既细腻地描述了自己的心理状态,又对这个世界有所思考。相比两对情侣的亲密关系,我更喜欢借那些Email传递出来的对世界的温柔,以及女孩们看似冷淡和厌世的表面下对爱的渴求。尤其是Eileen刚刚与Simon建立连接以后,她感到学生时代的那种自由和对美的感知又回来了。“The nearness, the possibility of beauty, like a light radiating softly from behind the visible world, illuminating everything.” 不足之处,在我看来也在于两个女性的救赎终归还是要靠男性得以完成。四个人中相对最清醒的Felix是一个工人阶级男性,虽然他很可爱,但还是不免讨巧了些。
