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.)

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。
評分讀瞭20多頁,太瑣碎瞭,全是描述,各種事物的細節,已經預見到根本不是我的菜,而且最重要的是這小說根本就就不是瑪麗琳•魯濱遜《基列傢書》的風格,差彆很大,魯濱遜的小說那纔是富於詩意、哲思和優美,《基列傢書》可是我最喜歡的書之一! 另外單從中文翻譯來說,讀來也...
評分"When it came time to die, we knew and went to deep yards where we lay down and our bones turned to brass. We were picked over. We were used to fix broken clocks, music boxes; our pelvises were fitted onto pinions, our spines soldered into vast works. Our r...

怎麼中譯本的評分那樣低!難道是翻譯得不好。
評分走到盡頭的生命平靜的如水一般。
評分我還是比較喜歡讀男作傢的作品。。。不會過度細膩
評分Another book belongs to category of "i have not reach the level where this book at, wait and read it again as I grow older"......Strange. All the feelings and his description of things are so strange and hard to imagine what it looks like or how it suppose to feel like.
