Set in South Africa under white rule, Doris Lessing's first novel is both a riveting chronicle of human disintegration and a beautifully understated social critique. Mary Turner is a self-confident, independent young woman who becomes the depressed, frustrated wife of an ineffectual, unsuccessful farmer. Little by little the ennui of years on the farm work their slow poison, and Mary's despair progresses until the fateful arrival of an enigmatic and virile black servant, Moses. Locked in anguish, Mary and Moses--master and slave--are trapped in a web of mounting attraction and repulsion. Their psychic tension explodes in an electrifying scene that ends this disturbing tale of racial strife in colonial South Africa.</P>
The Grass Is Singing blends Lessing's imaginative vision with her own vividly remembered early childhood to recreate the quiet horror of a woman's struggle against a ruthless fate.</P>

Mary疯了死了 看到最后我也快疯了！
评分怎么办...第一次读小说读到希望主人公赶快去死一死...然而人家在第一章就死了… this is really a story of non-being // 呼，读完感觉，这位部书属于表达欲十分旺盛，主题甚多的处女作。lessing文字的张力是很大的，对于女主在种族与性别的夹缝的处境描写得入木三分。值得关注的不仅有女性主题和种族主题，还有与此平行的、人与自然关系的问题。其实这三个主题在Lessing的笔下，有甚多交叉融合，甚至都包含某种Lessing十分关心的权力结构的问题。
评分不无聊不诺贝尔，呵
评分disturbingly Lessing
评分目前读到的关于种族的最好的故事。
