Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is hellish for all slaves, but Cora is an outcast even among her fellow Africans, and she is coming into womanhood; even greater pain awaits. Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her of the Underground Railroad and they plot their escape. Like Gulliver, Cora encounters different worlds on each leg of her journey.
Whitehead brilliantly recreates the unique terrors of black life in pre-Civil War America. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.
Colson Whitehead is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Underground Railroad, winner of the 2016 National Book Award, and named one of the Ten Best Books of the Year by the New York Times Book Review, as well as The Noble Hustle, Zone One, Sag Harbor, The Intuitionist, John Henry Days, Apex Hides the Hurt, and The Colossus of New York. He is also a Pulitzer Prize finalist and a recipient of the MacArthur and Guggenheim fellowships. He lives in New York City.
"Truth was a changing display in a shop window, manipulated by hands when you weren’t looking, alluring and ever out of reach.”
评分这本书的意义显然是重大的,并不是为了政治正确才说的。然而可能是从文学角度,真的不是很impressed。这么好的故事线,却写的一点不吸引人。
评分政治意义大于文学价值,不过读过了也算是了解长期被美化的美国历史
评分同意楼下某短评,奔着国家图书奖来的,期望越大失望越大。是本合格的小说,悬念迭起节奏快;然而作为文学来看差点意思,人物形象不深刻,很多地方也觉得是为冲突而冲突。作者有一个观点很有意思,种族冲突不仅仅是因为种族相异,人的天性使然,可惜没有能深入,只是安排了些白人相助黑人得权后反而互相欺压的情节。是很成功的好莱坞电影素材,然而文学奖,还是差点火候。
评分实在很难喜欢作者的文字,不过也有亮点。最喜欢前面Cora保护自己的一块小地的那段。
图、文/文小妖 逃出来,活下去。这是看美国黑人作家科尔森·怀特黑德的小说《地下铁道》时,给我的最初步的感受。 小说围绕着黑奴少女科拉几次三番逃出南方蓄奴州佐治亚,寻求自由而展开。小说里并没有交代故事发生的具体的时间,但随着情节的推入,读者很容易就能从中获悉历史...
评分 评分魔幻主义能不能这样用?震撼力与罪恶程度的真实性的是否应该协调?故事是加深了对历史的认识,还是成为了一些概念模型(i.e. manifest destiny, progress in god's name, white supremacy, sexual abuse) 的复印机?事件很重,劳动-欢乐在奴役-自由中的双重含义,为奴所意味...
评分说来惭愧,我是一个“擅长”逃避的人。当少年时的好奇心褪去后,我厌恶阅读那些陈述惨痛的文字。二十年动乱,春夏之交,这些我都不再读了。我告诉自己,那些苦难都是大同小异,我都已经知道了,不必再说。不要再说了。 1、 风暴降生与星辰陨落 一直以来,我们这代年轻人有一种...
