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.
最怕像是中瞭詛咒,成為這輩子注定不會開心的人。敏感、脆弱、尖銳、自私、任性、疏離、熱情、懦弱、瘋狂……耶茨寫盡失敗者的百態,不過是在寫終身未能扭轉孤獨命運的自己。不瞭解世道運轉的規律嗎?還是性格確實不可能改變?囿於童年的陰影,受到弗洛伊德醫生精神分析的詛咒,而無法解決愛和歸屬感的問題,於是即使有所成就也是以極大的毅力沉湎於痛苦中完成的,其結果不是早逝就是早衰。愛與歸屬感,是長期以來亟待解決的核心問題。
評分傷感
評分好看,講女性的孤獨,Emily自由但孤獨,Sarah結婚早,戀愛結婚,老公不爭氣,一樣孤獨。
評分因為整個故事太難過,其實隻是有點善良的Peter也就是天使瞭,正好不太久之前看過諾頓演一個小神父(keeping the faith),也就一直把Peter想象成諾頓,真 的 好 多 瞭。難過到看不下去的,可以試試這個辦法:)

“如果说我的作品有一个主题,我怀疑这个主题并不复杂,那就是绝大多数人都生活在一种无法逃避的孤独中,他们的悲剧也在此。” ————理查德·耶茨 “福楼拜以来,少有人对那些生活得苦不...
評分从去年读过耶茨之后,我就想为他写一篇书评。如果是为杂志稿写耶茨,我肯定会去仔细查一下他的生平。可我现在不想这样。一个作家需要面对的始终只有他的读者,他的小说就是他的一切。作者要退居到作品之后,尽量不被读者发现自己的影子。若我刻意的去接近作者真实的影像,那就...
評分《复活节游行》我读了两遍。第一遍是一口气读完的,因为急于想知道爱米莉的命运。第二遍过后才发现,她并没有什么命运可言。这个词对她来说太大了,对大多数的女人也是。求学工作,结婚生子,应付小小的波折和琐事,还没来得及想明白,已经进入了五十岁。人说四十不惑,但全书...
評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...
