Dance on My Grave

Born near Chester-le-Street, County Durham in 1934, Chambers was an only child, and a poor scholar; considered "slow" by his teachers, he did not learn to read fluently until the age of nine. After two years in the Royal Navy as part of his National Service, Chambers trained as a teacher and taught for three years at Westcliff High School in Southend on Sea before joining an Anglican monastery in Stroud, Gloucestershire in 1960. He later used his experience as a monk in his novel Now I Know.His first plays, including Johnny Salter (1966), The Car and The Chicken Run (1968), were published while he was a teacher at Archway School in Stroud.Chambers left the monastery in 1967 and a year later became a freelance writer. His works include the "Dance sequence" of six novels: Breaktime, Dance on My Grave, Now I Know, The Toll Bridge, Postcards from No Man's Land which won the 1999 Carnegie Medal and This is All: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn. He and his wife, Nancy, founded Thimble Press and the magazine Signal to promote literature for children and young adults. They were awarded the Eleanor Farjeon Award for outstanding services to children's books in 1982. From 2003 to 2006 he was President of the School Library Association.

Dance on My Grave: a life and a death in four parts, one hundred and seventeen bits, six running reports and two press clippings, with a few jokes, a puzzle or three, some footnotes and a fiasco now and then to help the story along is a 1982 young adult novel by British author Aidan Chambers. It is the second book in the Dance Sequence series.

It tells the story of a British teenager named Henry Robinson, detailing the events that led to his dancing on the grave of his slightly older friend, Barry Gorman, with whom Robinson had a love affair.

It was one of the first few young adult books published by a major publisher that depicts homosexuality without being judgmental and was included on ALA's and other libraries' list of books for gay teens. It has also been referred to in a number of books on children and young adult literature.

Because of its gay-positive theme, it was challenged at the Montgomery County Memorial Library System in 2004 by the Library Patrons of Texas.

读后感

其实我是很少去搜索小说来读的……不是不喜欢，而是我懒得……其实我还是很喜欢读小说的……总比做作业感觉好……【笑 但是你给我的，或者说你们给我的东西总有一种不可触碰的感觉，别想多了，不是圣神地不可触碰，是怕里面有我们心照不宣的事情被父母发现……呐~都知道我在父...

《Dance On My Grave>中文译名〈在我坟上起舞〉，译林出版，定位为少儿读物，可是那并不是童话的真相，两个男孩的断袖之恋，狡黠的魔豆罐里，他和他的美好是阴谋，巴里对哈尔的猎艳，哈尔对巴里的心理依附，徘徊在占有和自由之间，谁都不是那么的纯洁和真挚？一次争吵后，哈尔...  

在网上看了一点英文原文，觉得翻译文字似乎还是有点平淡了，个人感觉而已。。可能因为李先生还是想把这个主题处理到男孩子间的充满巨大热情的友谊上去，但是人家明明是基佬之爱呀！ 无论如何看完故事的人都应该会挺喜欢小哈尔的。

这个夏天最爱的一本

没想象中好。

没想象中好。

Barry太自我而Hal太自怜，Kari一定是读者一开始最讨厌而最后最喜欢的角色。有意思的书，但是不属于最好的Young Adult Novel之列。

没想象中好。
