The author writes: The two long pieces in this book originally came out in The New Yorker ? RAISE HIGH THE ROOF BEAM, CARPENTERS in 1955, SEYMOUR ? An Introduction in 1959. Whatever their differences in mood or effect, they are both very much concerned with Seymour Glass, who is the main character in my still-uncompleted series about the Glass family. It struck me that they had better be collected together, if not deliberately paired off, in something of a hurry, if I mean them to avoid unduly or undesirably close contact with new material in the series. There is only my word for it, granted, but I have several new Glass stories coming along ? waxing, dilating ? each in its own way, but I suspect the less said about them, in mixed company, the better. Oddly, the joys and satisfactions of working on the Glass family peculiarly increase and deepen for me with the years. I can't say why, though. Not, at least, outside the casino proper of my fiction.
Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters is still very much the Salinger I enjoyed reading. Even though I am probably not thoughtful enough to state the reason why. On the other hand, Seymour an Introduction is quite a bore, even worse than Franny and Zooey. ...

我对这本书的结构安排佩服得五体投地,它不是那种按部就班的叙事,更像是一张精心编织的网,线索错综复杂却又环环相扣。作者似乎深谙留白的美学,故意在关键时刻停顿,抛出一些引人深思的疑问,然后又在看似不经意的角落里给出解答,这种节奏的把控,让读者的心弦始终处于一种紧绷而又享受的状态。书中的几条支线人物虽然戏份不多,但他们的存在感却异常强烈,每一个转折都恰到好处地推动着主线的发展,仿佛每一个角色都是一个精密的齿轮,共同驱动着这个宏大而又精巧的故事机器运转。读到高潮部分,那种情感的爆发力是压倒性的,我甚至能清晰地感受到作者在落笔时的那种激动与克制,完美地平衡了戏剧张力和艺术性。看完合上书的那一刻,我久久无法平静,脑海中不断回放着那些震撼的片段,这种回味悠长的体验,才是真正好作品的标志。
评分这本小说简直就是一场关于人性的狂欢,作者以极其细腻的笔触,勾勒出了一幅幅令人心悸的画面。故事的主角们在命运的洪流中挣扎,他们的选择和挣扎,让我不禁反思自己的人生轨迹。那种深入骨髓的孤独感和对归属感的渴望,通过文字的力量直击人心。我尤其欣赏作者对于环境描写的功力,每一个场景都仿佛触手可及,带着特有的气味和温度,让人完全沉浸其中,无法自拔。那种老旧建筑特有的霉味,阳光透过百叶窗洒下的斑驳光影,都成了故事中不可或缺的一部分,默默地诉说着时间的重量和无声的变迁。阅读的过程中,我常常会停下来,反复咀嚼某些精妙的对白,它们寥寥数语,却蕴含着千言万语,那种未尽之意比直白的陈述更具穿透力。这不仅仅是一个故事,更像是一面镜子,映照出我们内心深处那些不愿触碰的阴影与渴望。
评分坦白说,初读时,我曾被其错综复杂的人物关系和略显跳跃的时间线弄得有些头晕,但这正是它耐人寻味的地方。它拒绝提供廉价的娱乐性,而是要求读者投入时间和精力去解码。随着阅读的深入,我开始享受这种“主动参与”的过程,仿佛自己就是一名侦探,在字里行间寻找被隐藏的线索。这种非线性的叙事技巧,成功地模仿了人类记忆的碎片化和非逻辑性,让人感觉非常“真实”。当所有拼图最终归位时,那种豁然开朗的震撼感是无与伦比的。这本书的后劲非常大,它不是那种读完就丢到一边的快餐文学,而是像一首需要反复聆听的交响乐,每一次重温,都能发掘出之前忽略的微妙和声与深层含义。它成功地在我的阅读清单上,占据了一个非常特殊且重要的位置。
评分这部小说的魅力还在于它对“真实感”的营造达到了惊人的地步。它并非全然是写实的记录,却比许多写实主义作品更加触动人心,因为它捕捉到了人类情感中最微妙、最难以言喻的那部分。角色的心理活动描写真的是入木三分,那种微妙的嫉妒、难以启齿的爱恋、面对巨大压力时的近乎崩溃的理智,都被作者剥茧抽丝般地展现出来。我看到一些人物为了维护一个虚假的平衡,付出了沉重的代价,那种悲剧性的宿命感让人扼腕叹息。更难得的是,作者在描绘这些复杂人性弱点的同时,从未流露出居高临下的评判姿态,而是以一种深沉的同情心去理解和接纳,这种包容性使得故事充满了人性温暖的光辉,即使是在最黑暗的角落里,也能看到一丝微弱却坚韧的光亮。
评分从文学语言的角度来看,这部作品展现出一种近乎古典的沉稳与现代的锐利。作者的遣词造句极其讲究,仿佛每一个词语都经过了千锤百炼,才被赋予了恰当的位置。叙事中偶尔会穿插一些带有强烈象征意义的意象,比如反复出现的特定天气,或者某种固定的物件,它们承载了角色复杂的情感和潜意识的挣扎。我特别喜欢那种诗意的散文段落,它们以一种近乎咏叹的语调,将人物内心深处的哲学思考和对存在的迷茫娓娓道来。虽然故事背景设定在特定的时空,但它探讨的主题——关于承诺的重量、身份的构建以及时间对记忆的侵蚀——却是超越时代和地域的,具有普世的感染力。这种将深奥的哲学思辨融入到日常琐碎细节中的能力,是许多作家梦寐以求而不可得的技艺,它让阅读变成了一种需要全神贯注的智力与情感的双重冒险。
评分My last Glass Family book. He goes into too much details in the second one, making it hard and slow to read, as Nuno said. But his ending is always magical and I just get obsessed with this Family, maybe for the same reason Salinger created them - they meet our expectations of people. Oh and oh, I resent Ethan Hawke for using that sacred title.
