Toni Morrison's first novel, The Bluest Eye (1970), was acclaimed as the work of an important talent, written--as John Leonard said in The New York Times--in a prose "so precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry."
Her new novel has the same power, the same beauty.
At its center--a friendship between two women, a friendship whose intensity first sustains, then injures. Sula and Nel--both black, both smart, both poor, raised in a small Ohio town--meet when they are twelve, wishbone thin and dreaming of princes.
Through their girlhood years they share everything--perceptions, judgments, yearnings, secrets, even crime--until Sula gets out, out of the Bottom, the hilltop neighborhood where beneath the sporting life of the men hanging around the place in headrags and soft felt hats there hides a fierce resentment at failed crops, lost jobs, thieving insurance men, bug-ridden flour...at the invisible line that cannot be overstepped.
Sula leaps it and roams the cities of America for ten years. Then she returns to the town, to her friend. But Nel is a wife now, settled with her man and her three children. She belongs. She accommodates to the Bottom, where you avoid the hand of God by getting in it, by staying upright, helping out at church suppers, asking after folks--where you deal with evil by surviving it.
Not Sula. As willing to feel pain as to give pain, she can never accommodate. Nel can't understand her any more, and the others never did. Sula scares them. Mention her now, and they recall that she put her grandma in an old folks' home (the old lady who let a train take her leg for the insurance)...that a child drowned in the river years ago...that there was a plague of robins when she first returned...
In clear, dark, resonant language, Toni Morrison brilliantly evokes not only a bond between two lives, but the harsh, loveless, ultimately mad world in which that bond is destroyed, the world of the Bottom and its people, through forty years, up to the time of their bewildered realization that even more than they feared Sula, their pariah, they needed her.

《秀拉》是那种一生不会遇到超过10本的书,是那种足以裂土的书,是托妮莫里森最薄的书。 我眼中,也是她最重的书。 故事很简单:秀拉和奈尔是早年的是手帕交,早早就有朝天下叛逆的迹象。多年以后,秀拉回到家乡,几下子就成了千夫所指,唯有奈尔依旧给她一份温柔和一份爱。但...
评分真实、自我、天赋、想象力、勇气....如果不在合适的环境,到底是幸运还是诅咒? 一些摘录: 有了她,他就是一家之主,只是出于必要才对,拴在一份令人不满意的工作上。 被外人看作懒散邋遢甚至是慷慨的习性,实际上都是对不良力量存在的合理性的全面认可。 她好久都没有像这样...
评分Mr. Luo says that when you finish this ,you can write a paper for 5000 words, i remmber i just smiled . this a book about love, hate, self-consciousness, mothers and daugthers, sex and possession. Morrison is a mster of mythology, indeed. she employs many...
评分我记得我生命中所有那些颤动着的瞬间,比如坐在表姐家的地板上玩电脑听见伯伯和情妇粘腻漫长的通话,在我妈办公室听见同事对着我妈妈开下三滥黄色笑话,半夜被性侵之后手足无措之下跑进厕所打开排风扇后反复而麻木地按冲水键直到觉得明天还会到来,抱着外婆冰冷的遗像从医院走...
评分这本书的腰封里有两句话“爱是天空。背叛是闪电,撕裂天空,让我们看清楚。”“仇人会伤害一个人,朋友则会彻底毁灭一个人。”我总觉得这两句介绍用的不恰当,用词太大胆,怎么能说是“背叛”?怎么能说是“毁灭”?你们觉得呢?
