Fates and Furies is a literary masterpiece that defies expectation. A dazzling examination of a marriage, it is also a portrait of creative partnership written by one of the best writers of her generation.
Every story has two sides. Every relationship has two perspectives. And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets. At the core of this rich, expansive, layered novel, Lauren Groff presents the story of one such marriage over the course of twenty-four years.
At age twenty-two, Lotto and Mathilde are tall, glamorous, madly in love, and destined for greatness. A decade later, their marriage is still the envy of their friends, but with an electric thrill we understand that things are even more complicated and remarkable than they have seemed. With stunning revelations and multiple threads, and in prose that is vibrantly alive and original, Groff delivers a deeply satisfying novel about love, art, creativity, and power that is unlike anything that has come before it. Profound, surprising, propulsive, and emotionally riveting, it stirs both the mind and the heart.

我以为终于为欠了半年的长散文找到了一个好例子,结果一场空。看到有豆友说语言overworked,然而我想,如果按照我的workshop的标准,语言非常棒,tight, vigorous, and lyrical
评分A story about perceptions. 外人眼里看来让人赞叹的一段婚姻,内里,从夫妻两人各自角度出发,这24年的婚姻生活到底怎样,又给各自带来了什么?婚姻故事很容易写得落俗套,或失真(尽管我个人觉得有本书中是有部分情节会突然让我意识到作者的存在),但总体来说Groff笔下的男女主人公形象丰满,人物是跃然纸上的。读完之后第一感受是关于亲密关系中是否能完全懂得对方的疑问。我个人并不太喜欢书的下半部Furies.尽管它有着类似“揭迷底“的满足感,但在这里得知女主人公那些从未向丈夫道过的隐藏,作为旁观者的读者也就不能再倒回去评价男主人公的行为了。那么,一段由于婚姻中一人深埋的秘密而影响两人婚姻的故事,在我看来似乎并不能更深刻地讲述婚姻的本质,不具代表性。
评分Good writing
评分Tight and lyrical. 深感共鸣。
评分写得真不错,但故事真冷血
