图书描述

In his National Book Award winning novel Augustus, John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher's Crossing, his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America.

It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, fired up by Emerson to seek ''an original relation to nature,'' drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher's Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. Butcher's Crossing is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisiacal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher's Crossing to find a world as irremediably changed as they have been.

Too much wordy description while the characters’ emotions remain flat and restrained. Honestly speaking I didn’t enjoy reading the book and just don’t like this “academic” style of fiction writing which has literally worn me out.

评分☆☆☆☆☆

The bulk of description wore me out, and I just wanted to be done with it. (Oh and I kept thinking of movies like Bounty Hunters and the Hateful Eight while I was reading.) I like Williams the most when he gets into inner workings of his characters; the ending and the opening are really good.

我实在太喜欢Williams的文笔了，exquisite, 简直我的终极美学目标。完美的小说。

2017.9.21~2017.10.16 果不其然是个悲剧。没有一个是圣人，没有一个是坏人，所有角色都有其弱点和优点。这个故事里的人物刻画比STONER里的要立体。阅读的过程中会一直脑补The Revenant里的场景，若拍成电影，应该就是这个样子吧。

挺有意思的一本书，西部生活百科。看的时候脑子里都是《八恶人》的画面，尤其是那大雪。
