保羅•哈丁,美國作傢、音樂傢。他少年時代經常“在叢林中遊蕩”,對大自然有著深切的愛和體悟。後參與創建“Cold Water Flat”樂隊,擔任鼓手,曾在美國和歐洲巡迴演齣。他從小酷愛閱讀。當讀到卡洛斯•富恩特斯的《我們的土地》時,他突然感到“這纔是我要做的事”,從此萌發文學創作之念。他的首部小說《修補匠》原本默默無聞,卻憑藉其厚積薄發的文學內涵獲得2010年普利策小說奬。
Harding's outstanding debut unfurls the history and final thoughts of a dying grandfather surrounded by his family in his New England home. George Washington Crosby repairs clocks for a living and on his deathbed revisits his turbulent childhood as the oldest son of an epileptic smalltime traveling salesman. The descriptions of the father's epilepsy and the cold halo of chemical electricity that encircled him immediately before he was struck by a full seizure are stunning, and the household's sadness permeates the narrative as George returns to more melancholy scenes. The real star is Harding's language, which dazzles whether he's describing the workings of clocks, sensory images of nature, the many engaging side characters who populate the book, or even a short passage on how to build a bird nest. This is an especially gorgeous example of novelistic craftsmanship. (Jan.)

評分 評分人之將死,思想很復雜怪誕,一些看似毫無關聯的東西一起湧上心頭。想傢庭,思親人。三代人的生活。老實說如果看電子版我早早的就會放棄這本書。看著挺纍的,難理解,可能要等靜下來的時候再讀。亦或是普利策小說奬也不過如此,還是外國的文化不能理解。有待再次閱讀後的感悟。
評分 評分摘自《文匯讀書周報》 作者:成 蓉 《修補匠》是美國作傢保羅•哈丁的首部小說,原本默默無聞,甚至在齣版過程中一波三摺,但它卻成為普利策小說奬數十年來的最大黑馬。與靠情節推動的小說不同,《修補匠》的一大特色就是對事物和景緻異常細緻綿密的描述。哈丁認為:...

評分an incredible read
評分其實說不上有多喜歡,但這樣靜下心來,慢慢讀這樣細細碎碎的文字,品味著淡淡憂傷的感情,遇見那些隱秘而偉大的人,窺視他們腦中發散流動的思維,這應該就是閱讀的意義,也是生命的意義,也是這本書的意義。
