The famous opening line of the novel warns of the bleak narrative to follow, "Neither of the Grimes sisters would have a happy life, and looking back it always seemed that the trouble began with their parents’ divorce." Emily and Sarah Grimes are sisters who share little in terms of character but much in terms of disappointment with their lives. Emily, the more intellectual and cosmopolitan of the two, seeks love in numerous disappointing affairs and short-term relationships while Sarah, the prettier and more conventional sister, marries young and bears children to an uncouth and abusive husband. Their troubled, rootless mother, Pookie, like many Yatesian matriarchs, is likely modeled on his own mother, who was nicknamed "Dookie". The novel, beginning in the 1930s when the sisters are children and ending in the 1970s with Sarah's death, primarily revolves around Emily as the book's central character, though the book employs Yates' characteristic and seamless shifts of consciousness throughout.
Richard Yates (February 3, 1926 – November 7, 1992) was an American novelist and short story writer. He was a chronicler of mid-20th century mainstream American life, often cited as artistically residing somewhere between J.D. Salinger and John Cheever. He is regarded as the foremost novelist of the post-WWII Age of Anxiety.
how vain in the end everything had turned out to be.
评分因为整个故事太难过,其实只是有点善良的Peter也就是天使了,正好不太久之前看过诺顿演一个小神父(keeping the faith),也就一直把Peter想象成诺顿,真 的 好 多 了。难过到看不下去的,可以试试这个办法:)
评分Loneliness,misery,unhappiness,suffering. Life is always full of things like that. 看完喘不过气来,这也是why Yates「难读」,因为他写的并不是能搞死人的绝望,而是永恒不变的失落/失望/失败,,
评分后面一直在担心Emily会不会像松子一样惨淡的死去,如果结局真是这样,对我来说是guilty pleasure。 当Sarah模仿Tony说Shape up来训诫孩子却又胆怯的下意识的看他一眼,maybe domestic violence is happening in that house. 当Emily失业,作为白人,大学毕业生她找不到工作,原因是"I am a woman, and I am no longer young. " 当Emily质问Peter时,他说Tony已经尽力做他所有能做的。那为什么Sarah会遭受家庭暴力20多年。愤怒是压抑着的,因为我悲哀的意识到这一切都不是猛烈的。
评分对于非常打动人的作品,有时反而不知该说些什么,说句“我爱XXX(作者)”可能就够了。耶茨写出了女性在社会中的困境——不论她们的具体社会处境如何,所面临的也无非是相当有限的可能性:婚姻、生育、生存、两性关系。这哪里是评论者常说的“失败者”,耶茨写的明明是我们自己,是每天出现在生活中的你我她。因真实而常被我们忽略,因真实而触目惊心。
校园是她生活的中心。她去巴纳德上学之前,从未听说过“智力的”这个词能用作名词(即intellectual,知识分子),她铭记于心。这是个勇敢的名词,一个自豪的名词,这个名词让人联想到毕生奉献于崇高的事,对凡俗之事抱以冷冷的蔑视。 接着是一段久久的沉默。后来,...
评分这本小说讲的是在一个单亲家庭长大的女人一生的故事,这个家庭所导致的结果是使一个弱小的灵魂变成一个勇敢、坚强、理性和独立的人。在这本书中是一个女性,她叫爱米莉。 故事从爱米莉五岁的时候讲起,这时候她的父母已经离婚,爱米莉和姐姐萨拉一起跟着有点神经质又酗酒的母...
评分耶茨总爱写这样的女文青:受过一定的教育,想成为知识分子或艺术家却始终未能如愿,又因为不甘于普通人的生活和感情而经历诸多情感和家庭上的不幸。 例如《革命之路》中的April,这种女的总给人“做”的感觉。中产阶级的郊区生活怎么就令她窒息了?作为丈夫的杰克,就算无功,...
评分 评分他笔下的孤独男女, 就像某个时刻的你和我 转自10.01.10深圳晚报 文:李福莹 上海译文出版社的责任编辑李玉瑶,花了很大的努力,才将陌生的理查德·耶茨介绍给中国读者。《十一种孤独》和《复活节游戏》的出版,让理查德·耶茨这位几乎让人遗忘的伟大作家,重新散发出魅力...
