約翰·歐文(John Irving),被美國文壇泰鬥馮內古特喻為“美國最重要的幽默作傢”,是當代最知名的小說傢之一,他作品中所呈現的高超的說故事技巧與優美的文學性,使人們常將他與狄更斯和J. D. 塞林格等重量級小說傢相提並論。他的小說不僅贏得書評界的一緻推崇,而且叫好又叫座,是西方最暢銷的小說傢之一。
The first of my father s illusions was that bears could survive the life lived by human beings, and the second was that human beings could survive a life led in hotels.So says John Berry, son of a hapless dreamer, brother to a cadre of eccentric siblings, and chronicler of the lives lived, the loves experienced, the deaths met, and the myriad strange and wonderful times encountered by the family Berry. Hoteliers, pet-bear owners, friends of Freud (the animal trainer and vaudevillian, that is), and playthings of mad fate, they "dream on" in a funny, sad, outrageous, and moving novel by the remarkable author of A Son of the Circus and A Prayer for Owen Meany."Like Garp, [THE HOTEL NEW HAMPSHIRE] is a startlingly original family saga that combines macabre humor with Dickensian sentiment and outrage at cruelty, dogmatism and injustice."--Time"Rejoice! John Irving has written another book according to your world....You must read this book."--Los Angeles Times"Spellbinding...Intensely human...A high-wire act of dazzling virtuosity."--Cosmopolitan

評分 評分三傢旅館,三個人生階段,三種行文風格,歐文在這本超長的長篇小說中的野心可見一斑。 其中第一段完成的最好,青春的萌動,大傢庭生活的聒噪都在裏麵,第一章尤其好,有熊有愛有傢庭,太夢幻瞭,我哭著翻完的。 第二段開始流露齣政治隱喻和對社會的批評,結尾很有英雄氣質。把...
