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
Kent Haruf is the author of six novels (and, with the photographer Peter Brown, West of Last Chance).

Benediction was shortlisted for the Folio Prize. He died in November 2014, at the age of seventy-one.

评分结局真伤感情、不过还是期待过几天netflix放电影
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。)
评分一打开发现语言非常简单,就下了英文版来看。真。的。无。聊。就当练习英文阅读了。(2018/23)
七十岁了,依然可以爱上一个人,依然可以做年轻时没有做过的事,兴许可以比年轻时更勇敢。曾经害怕别人的眼光,害怕别人议论,现在反而可以什么都不怕了。 子女反对,邻居嚼舌,他们都在勇敢地面对。和六岁的孩子一起,生动又平静,抚慰着彼此的心灵。在野外搭帐篷看星星,领养...
评分晚风如诉 ,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...
评分说实话,如果我自己买书的话,我很大可能是不会买这本书的。 这本书很温柔,也并不难懂,很快就看完了。一个失去丈夫的老妇人与失去妻子的老人,成为了相互陪伴的伴侣,他们受到自己孩子和街区人的质疑和冷言冷语,但是依旧愿意在一起。 作者大概是想表达出一种对每一种关系的...
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...
