In a brilliant, nuanced and wholly original collection of essays, the novelist and critic Colm Tóibín explores the relationships of writers to their families and their work.
From Jane Austen’s aunts to Tennessee Williams’s mentally ill sister, the impact of intimate family dynamics can be seen in many of literature’s greatest works. Tóibín, celebrated both for his award-winning fiction and his provocative book reviews and essays, and currently the Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Columbia, traces and interprets those intriguing, eccentric, often twisted family ties in New Ways to Kill Your Mother. Through the relationship between W. B. Yeats and his father, Thomas Mann and his children, and J. M. Synge and his mother, Tóibín examines a world of relations, richly comic or savage in its implications. In Roddy Doyle’s writing on his parents, Tóibín perceives an Ireland reinvented. From the dreams and nightmares of John Cheever’s journals, Tóibín illuminates this darkly comic misanthrope and his relationship to his wife and his children. “Educating an intellectual woman,” Cheever remarked, “is like letting a rattlesnake into the house.” Acutely perceptive and imbued with rare tenderness and wit, New Ways to Kill Your Mother is a fascinating look at writers’ most influential bonds and a secret key to understanding and enjoying their work.

評分“19歲那年,我的母親離傢齣走。” 這是我多年以來構思的一個故事的開頭。然而,或許是因為沉湎於空想,或許是因為潛意識裏無法接受結局,故事並沒有從這個開頭生長齣更多的枝葉,一如我的母親,仍然在隔壁客廳裏巋然不動。而科爾姆·托賓的短篇小說《長鼕》,則為我這份想象提...

評分 評分Honestly speaking, I like Toibin's nonfiction more than his novels and short stories. The tone in his stories is always sad and lonely but in his non fiction, he demonstrates his clear and interesting thoughts and he looks deep into religious/human issues. ...
