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.

看贫苦地区作家的作品,总会惊异于他们所描述的神秘主义氛围,比如拉美作家、中东作家、中国农村作家以及黑人作家,比如加西亚 马尔克斯,比如卡勒德 胡塞尼,比如莫言,比如托尼 莫里森。 托尼 莫里森是第一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的黑人作家,我看黑人作品很少,但是对于她的这...
評分故事像是在水里浸着,慢慢酸楚涨起。 作者是偏爱秀拉的。她眼皮中央的胎记仿佛带枝玫瑰。她的眼睛”闪着金光、到最后一如雨水般宁静而清澈“。她第一次出场的时候,就让朋友母亲”冷硬的蔑视如奶油般融化“。她的耀眼,注定了她的与众不同和曲折经历。 在这个黑人生活圈里,...
評分带有些微魔幻的现实主义小说,意识流又占了很大成分。但在秀拉与阿贾克斯发生关系时,这样的写法却浑然圆融,与氛围融为一体。秀拉是一个完整的女性,是一个独立的个体。奈尔是她的反面。当她们透过一双眼睛共同看这个世界时,世界变得如此平坦,似乎可以轻而易举地征服。为了...

評分这本书我刚读完。作者用朴实的黑人语言给我们展示了20-60年代美国黑人的生活,感觉内涵很丰富,甚至有一点杂乱,不过最头疼的是我还有写一篇读后感,哎~~
