Elderly widow Addie Moore pays a visit to her aging widower neighbor, Louis Waters. They were never close, just knew each other peripherally, which makes the reason for this social call all the more intriguing. Addie would like to know if Louis is interested in sleeping with her. Now, now, this scenario was conceived by the late, great Kent Haruf—Our Souls at Night is no 50 Shades of Geriatric Grey. Set in the same fictional Colorado town as his National Book Award-nominated Plainsong, a town with its fair share of gossips, Addie and Louis embark on an unlikely friendship, an antidote to the loneliness they most exquisitely felt at night. As this friendship deepens, it is tested by said busybodies and meddling family members, plot points that almost distract from what makes this novel such a fitting and sweet swan song. Our Souls at Night was inspired, in part, by Haruf’s own marriage and the intimate, late-night conversations he and his wife relished, just like Addie and Louis. And just like Addie and Louis, Haruf proved that you’re never too old to reinvent yourself, take risks, find love, and write a great novel. --Erin Kodicek

评分简单的语言却有种能触动灵魂的力量,贯穿全文的那种bittersweet的感觉读起来很舒服。未能给五星的原因主要是结局的那种生活的无奈实在是太过苦涩。但是假如想要读一些能让人沉下心来的作品的话,推荐这本。
评分灵魂是一种怎样的状态呢?或许应该是轻盈、坦诚的。两位老人在夜晚交谈,将过去的一切,连同那些曾经碾过心灵的痛楚也和盘托出,不加修饰。故事就是这样开始的——令人稍稍有些许庆幸的是,故事也是这样结束的。Kent Haruf的语言非常平实隽永,用词很简单(华盛顿邮报的书评里有提到本书里and的运用,认为这是an assumption that we‘re already involved in the lives of these people)。联想到这是他的遗作,总有天鹅咏叹之感:“我想说的,就是这些了。” (另,也让我想到卡波特的草竖琴和麦克林恩的大河恋,如果能写出书评的话想多说说……这是在国庆拥挤的车站给我带来无限慰藉的一本书。)
评分白姨借给我的书,实话讲结尾有一点点莫名其妙的感觉
评分语言朴实,喜欢用大长句 可是没有想象中的好看
晚风如诉 ,两颗寂寞的老灵魂选择在夜晚靠近,用已过完大半辈子皱纹里挤出的余热温暖对方,用紧握着手的温度而不是交欢的愉悦来连接彼此,这无关爱情无关性爱,却有关陪伴。 作者肯特哈鲁夫在写这本书时已时日不多,最终小说的成稿是由他的遗孀编辑完成的,我试着想象,作者的...
评分 评分我们活着 当静静的晚风吹向你安静的一天,你感受到你活着;当美人迟暮,容颜老去,除了偶尔的心脏抽搐,我们是否能感受到自己的生命。从未信奉灵魂,但生命的意义在于每一个年级都是一样的。无论新出生的婴儿,青春期的少年,意气风发的少年还是夕阳无限好的老年。追求爱,自由...
评分《晚风如诉(Our soul at night)》 (American)Kent Haruf 濮研 译 这是一个两个小时就能读完的故事。 在我七十岁时仍然能和一个人谈得来,喜欢上她,这让我知道自己没那么老。我决定要自由的活着。 “那是五月某一天的傍晚......”故事开始于艾迪走向路易,向路易提出“呃...
评分年过七旬的艾迪有一天晚上敲开了邻居路易家的门。她想要跟他商量一件事,问他愿不愿意晚上到她家去跟她睡觉。 “我指的不是性。”她向路易解释说,“我指的是你和我一起在床上暖暖和和地躺着,互相陪伴着过夜。夜晚是最难熬的,不是吗?” 艾迪一家住在这个名叫霍尔特的小镇...
