In his second collection of stories, as in his first, Carver's characters are peripheral people--people without education, insight or prospects, people too unimaginative to even give up. Carver celebrates these men and women.
Carver was born into a poverty-stricken family at the tail-end of the Depression. The son of a violent alcoholic, he married at 19, started a series of menial jobs and his own career of 'full-time drinking as a serious pursuit'. A career that would eventually kill him. Constantly struggling to support his wife and family Carver enrolled in a writing programme under author John Gardner in 1958 and he saw this as a turning point.
Rejecting the more experimental fiction of the 60s and 70s, he pioneered a precisionist realism reinventing the American short story during the eighties, heading the line of so-called 'dirty realists' or 'K-mart realists'. Set in trailer parks and shopping malls they are stories of banal lives that turn on a seeminlgy insignificant detail. Carver writes with meticulous economy suddenly bringing a life into focus in a similar way to the paintings of Edward Hopper. As well as a master of the short story he was an accomplished poet publishing several highly acclaimed volumes.
After the 'line of demarcation' in Carver's life - 2 June 1977, the day he stopped drinking - his stories become increasingly more redemptive and expansive. Alcohol had eventually shattered his health, his work and his family - his first marriage effectively ending in 1978. He finally married his long-term parter Tess Gallagher (they met ten years earlier at a writers' conference in Dallas) in Reno less than two months before he eventually lost his fight with cancer.
想買一本,可封麵都太醜瞭。
評分說不齣來的被戳中的感覺
評分在倫敦到扒梨的高鐵上,在愛妃鐵塔下的三個小時讀完瞭這本書,我他媽也不想這麼作,可是我真的好討厭鐵塔啊寜願下麵河邊待著。
評分卡佛的小說根本不落俗套,你永遠猜不到主角接下來要做什麼,因為你從來就沒摸著過頭腦!看完之後隻有一種想法:活著簡直太悲摧瞭,每個人都悶悶不樂像是抑鬱癥患者、瘋子、狂躁癥不治人士、暴力狂。What we talk about when we talk about love? What we talk about when we talk about life?日復一日沒有念想的重復平庸地生活,可被替代的戀人,可有可無的惱人的孩子。這樣的生活,是不是可以魚死網破,抑或一死瞭之?
評分隻讀過封麵故事,在美國文學史裏讀到的?記不清瞭。總之是一個莫名其妙的故事。
《凉亭》是卡佛这本短篇集里给我印象最深的一篇。 这篇里的男主角叫杜安,女主角叫霍莉。 卡佛的好些短篇里的男女主角都是没有名字的。很多时候他们面目模糊,缺失的心理活动也只能靠读者根据他们的语言和动作来补足。于是,他们有没有名字,其实不太重要。我们知道,他们都属...
評分卡佛这两年在国内很热门,谈论他的文章比他的作品还要多,关于他的写作风格和极简主义我没有什么多余的话要说,关于他和他的编辑之间的故事我也没有什么别出心裁的研究,只来说说我为什么喜欢这本书。 首先,它挺漂亮的,从外观上来看。这很重要,不是吗? 另外,它很好看。...
評分卡佛的故事太简单了。小青年们在需要装逼时,往往喜欢使用卡夫卡博尔赫斯卡尔维诺纳博科夫之类的作家,他们用文字织迷宫玩智力游戏,从一个意象上就可以抽出无数条扯不断的支线丝网,每条支线都可以是金闪闪的装逼点。而卡佛的故事太简单了。就是个素面玻璃杯,一眼就能看穿,...
評分现在谈论卡佛已经逐渐有了一种反讽的意味。我们写的评论比他的小说还要长,我们说的话比他笔下的人物的还要多,我们制造了喧嚣评价他的沉默,我们把他的简约看成了流行和时尚,对他背后大半生遭受的困难视而不见。卡佛在中文语境里受到的追捧已经遮蔽了他的小说与现实世界的关...
