The Marriage Plot

The Marriage Plot pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025

Jeffrey Kent Eugenides is an American Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and short story writer of Greek and Irish extraction.

Eugenides was born in Detroit, Michigan, of Greek and Irish descent. He attended Grosse Pointe's private University Liggett School. He took his undergraduate degree at Brown University, graduating in 1983. He later earned an M.A. in Creative Writing from Stanford University.

In 1986 he received the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Nicholl Fellowship for his story "Here Comes Winston, Full of the Holy Spirit". His 1993 novel, The Virgin Suicides, gained mainstream interest with the 1999 film adaptation directed by Sofia Coppola. The novel was reissued in 2009.

Eugenides is reluctant to appear in public or disclose details about his private life, except through Michigan-area book signings in which he details the influence of Detroit and his high-school experiences on his writings. He has said that he has been haunted by the decline of Detroit.

Jeffrey Eugenides lives in Princeton, New Jersey with his wife, the photographer and sculptor Karen Yamauchi, and their daughter. In the fall of 2007, Eugenides joined the faculty of Princeton University's Program in Creative Writing.

His 2002 novel, Middlesex, won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the Ambassador Book Award. Part of it was set in Berlin, Germany, where Eugenides lived from 1999 to 2004, but it was chiefly concerned with the Greek-American immigrant experience in the United States, against the rise and fall of Detroit. It explores the experience of the intersexed in the USA. Eugenides has also published short stories.

Eugenides is the editor of the collection of short stories titled My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead. The proceeds of the collection go to the writing center 826 Chicago, established to encourage young people's writing.

In Eugenides' first novel since the Pulitzer Prize-winning Middlesex (2002), English major and devotee of classic literature Madeleine Hanna is a senior at Reagan-era Brown University. Only when curiosity gets the best of her does she belly up to Semiotics 211, a bastion of postmodern liberalism, and meet handsome, brilliant, mysterious Leonard Bankhead. Completing a triangle is Madeleine's friend Mitchell, a clear-eyed religious-studies student who believes himself her true intended. Eugenides' drama unfolds over the next year or so. His characteristically deliberate, researched realization of place and personality serve him well, and he strikes perfectly tuned chords by referring to works ranging from Barthes' Lovers' Discourse to Bemelmans' Madeline books for children. The remarkably à propos title refers to the subject of Madeleine's honors thesis, which is the Western novel's doing and undoing, in that, upon the demise, circa 1900, of the marriage plot, the novel 'didn't mean much anymore,' according to Madeleine's professor and, perhaps, Eugenides. With this tightly, immaculately self-contained tale set upon pillars at once imposing and of dollhouse scale, namely, academia ('College wasn't like the real world,' Madeleine notes) and the emotions of the youngest of twentysomethings, Eugenides realizes the novel whose dismantling his characters examine."

這是一本情節綫混亂的書,婚姻關係在上一頁懸而未決,下一頁已完成一陣,甚至即將完蛋。 三位主人公全部處在紊亂年代,即剛剛告彆大學本科,學院的腳手架被撤掉,社會生活的資本尚是零蛋的時代。 三人分彆是馬德琳、倫納德、米切爾。 基本關係是:馬德琳與倫納德戀愛,同居...

三顆半,後麵50%少瞭前半部的趣味……後半部分靠黃色情節纔撐下去的嘛……

评分

對維多利亞婚姻文學的緻敬與反諷, 對戀愛婚姻關係的解構。這本書實在是太過文藝,書裏人張口閉口都是符號學大師和費裏尼,讀著沒有工作前景的liberal arts major,用文藝和故作深沉滋養著自己精神上的病徵。前大半部簡直令人驚異,與《荒人手記》類似,充斥瞭各式各樣的信息,仿佛人們並不生活在自己的一日三餐中,而是在思想、感性、知識間躍動和穿梭一樣,好似吃瞭迷幻劑的多動癥患兒。讀書的時候總是驚異於作者的細膩,為什麼能夠這樣充沛地感受和描述那種自我催生齣來的悲劇感、痛感呢?難道作者也是個自戀而自虐的人嘛:變著法子令自己感受痛苦,期待著痛苦,又在痛苦中肝腸寸斷,又在這種肝腸寸斷中感覺自己實在是愛得深切。“我真是一個偉大的人啊,背負著這樣巨石般沉重的愛。”Kitsch而自戀的人這樣嘆息道。

Don't want to spend time to finish it. Strong beginning, but then it becomes gross, ugh. Dislike stories about sick people. Too pretentious.

评分

讀書的過程中,覺得作者把所有的一切都寫的味同嚼蠟,讓我不禁想,莫非生活本就是這樣?整本書讀畢之後,卻又會不時地迴味。這些都令我不解。

评分

書架上丟瞭5年趕在畢業之前終於看完瞭。前半部分還能看得津津有味,描寫棕大日常和智識生活是如何挑戰自我認知,也能看齣試圖重構19世紀婚姻情節文學傳統的努力,後半部分迅速跌落成庸俗的當代美國愛情故事,到瞭結尾終於又想起marriage plot的時候生硬得像在冰箱裏凍瞭半年的魚尾巴。
