On a clear day, you could see 'America' from Edinburgh's Castle Rock - or so said Alice Munro's great-great-great-grandfather, James Laidlaw, when he had drink taken. Then, in 1818, Laidlaw left the parish of 'no advantages', of banked Presbyterian emotions and uncanny tales - where, like his more famous cousin James Hogg, he was born and bred - and sailed to the new world with his family. This is the story of those shepherds from the Ettrick Valley and their descendants, among them the author herself. They were a Spartan lot, who kept to themselves; showing off was frowned on, and fear was commonplace, at least for females ...But opportunities present themselves for two strong-minded women in a ship's close quarters; a father dies, and a baby vanishes en route from Illinois to Canada; another story hints at incest; childhood is short and hazardous. This is family history where imperfect recollections blur into fiction, where the past shows through the present like the tracks of a glacier on a geological map. First love flowers under an apple tree while lust rears its head in a barn; a restless mother with ideas beyond her station declines painfully; a father farms fox fur and turkeys; a clever girl escapes to college and then into a hasty marriage. Beneath the ordinary landscape there's a different story - evocative, frightening, sexy, unexpected, gripping. Alice Munro tells it like no other.

一個月看完門羅的這本,人名太多,不得不反復。 可以說岩石堡風景是小說,也可以說是傳記。我願意選擇前者,因為書裏仍然到處是門羅的影子。 門羅總在迴憶和質疑,小說裏也總是那幾位角色,辛苦勞作的父親,常年臥床的母親,活潑開朗卻不乏攻擊性的繼母,從小就想藉著婚姻逃離...
評分生和死的寬度 是被細節填滿的 動物少有細節可言 或許隻是人類疏於觀察 盡管人做的事 未必隻是多樣性上的優越 因為並未脫離生存 動物的周期很容易被看齣來 甚至很短 從活著到死去 被抽離瞭信息的祖先也是如此 像生命的荒原 隻留下毛茸茸的墳墓和墓誌銘 一旦賦予瞭名字,個性,喜...
