Richard Ford is the author of the Bascombe novels, which include The Sportswriter and its sequels, Independence Day—the first novel to win the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award—and The Lay of the Land, as well as the short story collections Rock Springs and A Multitude of Sins, which contain many widely anthologized stories. He lives in Boothbay, Maine, with his wife, Kristina Ford.
"First, I'll tell about the robbery our parents committed. Then about the murders, which happened later."
Then fifteen-year-old Dell Parsons' parents rob a bank, his sense of normal life is forever altered. In an instant, this private cataclysm drives his life into before and after, a threshold that can never be uncrossed.
His parents' arrest and imprisonment mean a threatening and uncertain future for Dell and his twin sister, Berner. Willful and burning with resentment, Berner flees their home in Montana, abandoning her brother and her life. But Dell is not completely alone. A family friend intervenes, spiriting him across the Canadian border, in hopes of delivering him to a better life. There, afloat on the prairie of Saskatchewan, Dell is taken in by Arthur Remlinger, an enigmatic and charismatic American whose cool reserve masks a dark and violent nature.
Undone by the calamity of his parents' robbery and arrest, Dell struggles under the vast prairie sky to remake himself and define the adults he thought he knew. But his search for grace and peace only moves him nearer to a harrowing and murderous collision with Remlinger, an elemental force of darkness.
A true masterwork of haunting and spectacular vision from one of our greatest writers, Canada is a profound novel of boundaries traversed, innocence lost and reconciled, and the mysterious and consoling bonds of family. Told in spare, elegant prose, both resonant and luminous, it is destined to become a classic.

Things you did. Things you never did. Things you dreamed. After a long time they run together. 小說《加拿大》第十二章的開頭,一段似乎描寫夢境與現實之間模糊不清的敘述:你做過的、沒做過的、你夢見過的事情,在很長一段時間之後它們會糾結在一起,令人分辨不清。然...
評分來寫個書評,首先這是一本讀瞭就不怎麼想讀下去得書,但既然買來瞭,有淵源就讀完瞭,讓我想起瞭那本《橘子不是唯一的水果》,氣氛很重要,看到有人說公路片得感覺很像,像很多年前韓寒拍的那個《後會無期》的感覺也很像,更悲涼一點。我來這寫書評的原因很簡單,本來也是沒什...

覺得這本書的節奏有問題,而且tell太多show不夠……不過這也可能是因為我被亞馬遜的情節簡介騙瞭所以一開始對它的期望就是錯的。但確實有的地方很好很好,也許我再看一遍整體印象會提高。
評分情節不吸引,自白太絮叨。
