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.
對於非常打動人的作品,有時反而不知該說些什麼,說句“我愛XXX(作者)”可能就夠瞭。耶茨寫齣瞭女性在社會中的睏境——不論她們的具體社會處境如何,所麵臨的也無非是相當有限的可能性:婚姻、生育、生存、兩性關係。這哪裏是評論者常說的“失敗者”,耶茨寫的明明是我們自己,是每天齣現在生活中的你我她。因真實而常被我們忽略,因真實而觸目驚心。
評分作者像是個溫柔而冷靜的旁觀者,流水般的筆觸寫齣迫人的憂傷。沉穩的筆調下是平靜而又殘酷的痛和孤獨。當Peter說“if we have another girl we might name her after you”時,Emily哭,我也哭,因為我知道她和她姐姐一樣,等於是死瞭。
評分看啊,看啊,這就是艾米麗的下場,那個無能為力的艾米麗,那個鎖住房門,在灰塵的房間裏踱步的艾米麗,那個已經五十歲瞭,可完全不明白生活是些什麼東西的艾米麗。鋪瞭一生孤獨的路。
評分在去德裏的飛機上一口氣讀完。The best novel I've read in a long long time. 驚心。兩姐妹孤獨自私懦弱不知道自己要什麼。像你我一樣。
評分最怕像是中瞭詛咒,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。
我承认,这本书我只看到第二章第二节——网上能找到的所有部分。赶在现在写出这篇书评,想要试着赚一册签名本。 前天晚上,一个朋友发短信来向我推荐这本耶茨的《复活节游行》,“你一定要去看,这是张爱玲后来想写而未写的小说。”阴暗、压抑,但是因明了而通透。像张爱玲说的...

評分读这本书在很早以前,一直想写点什么却不知如何下笔。尽管人种国籍生活的年代所受的教育如此不同,但是我一眼就认定了艾米莉是同类,我们一样是成人世界的小学生,永远也毕不了业。 1、经常被说高智商低情商。 2、和刚认识的人也能相处得很好,但是时间久了也还是那个程度。和...
評分理查德耶茨和雷蒙德卡佛后遗症 转自:http://halftune.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!C2B03DBFF2D75F4A!4586.entry 文:小南瓜 这几天没有耐心看电影,反倒是花上更多时间读书能让我平静些。于是待业期的最后几天,完全是在理查德·耶茨的小说中度过的。上个月读卡佛的情景差不多...
