Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty,early morning hours of May 2, 1981.Was it murder or self-defense?For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares.John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction.Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case.
It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman's Card Club; the turbulent young redneck gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the "soul of pampered self-absorption"; the uproariously funny black drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young blacks dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight.These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, this enormously engaging portrait of a most beguiling Southern city has become a modern classic.

评分The ordinary became extraordinary. Eccentrics thrived. Every nuance and quirk of personality achieved greater brilliance in that lush enclosure than would have been possible anywhere else in the world.
评分Who is the protagonist? -Savannah, the whole town, which stays detached like always
评分逼格极高的pure gossip。有人可能认为这本书的成功源于Savannah这地方太特殊,又碰巧遇到一班超有料的cast,谋杀案就更是锦上添花。我倒觉得不管在哪个城市哪个小镇,只要挖的够深,都能掘出个jim williams、danny hansford、chablis。
当第一眼看书的封面就觉得自己会喜欢这本书了,怪异的感觉。 不知怎么总觉得这本书很有趣。 可能就是因为这些“八卦”吧。 觉得当地的人们都挺可爱的。 作者真的运气不错。 哈哈。
评分一本书,名字叫《午夜善恶花园》,却无关善恶,亦无关午夜。书里写的是一个小城,一个名叫沙凡纳(Savannah)的小城,美国南部的一个普通小城,虽然在《金银岛》和《飘》里面都露过脸儿,却都是几乎没有台词的小角色。这本书,要让沙凡纳做主角,还需得找些不大平凡的故事。幸...
评分【读品】罗豫/文 虽然在现代小说中,真理与谎言、现实与虚幻这些老对头披着彼此的衣服跑来跑去早已不是什么新鲜事,但这本《午夜善恶花园》还是让人吃了一大惊。如果不看前言和介绍,恐怕读到最后一页也弄不清楚,这究竟是一本小说,还是一部关于美国南部小城沙凡纳的纪实报道...
评分在哈尔滨和沈阳的病床上看完了《午夜善恶花园》,一本有趣的书,光怪陆离,妙趣横生,作者的叙事方式很巧妙,很流畅,翻译的也不错,难得这么厚的外国小说让我看得有滋有味的。 推荐之。
