From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Thirteen linked tales from Strout (Abide with Me, etc.) present a heart-wrenching, penetrating portrait of ordinary coastal Mainers living lives of quiet grief intermingled with flashes of human connection. The opening Pharmacy focuses on terse, dry junior high-school teacher Olive Kitteridge and her gregarious pharmacist husband, Henry, both of whom have survived the loss of a psychologically damaged parent, and both of whom suffer painful attractions to co-workers. Their son, Christopher, takes center stage in A Little Burst, which describes his wedding in humorous, somewhat disturbing detail, and in Security, where Olive, in her 70s, visits Christopher and his family in New York. Strout's fiction showcases her ability to reveal through familiar details—the mother-of-the-groom's wedding dress, a grandmother's disapproving observations of how her grandchildren are raised—the seeds of tragedy. Themes of suicide, depression, bad communication, aging and love, run through these stories, none more vivid or touching than Incoming Tide, where Olive chats with former student Kevin Coulson as they watch waitress Patty Howe by the seashore, all three struggling with their own misgivings about life. Like this story, the collection is easy to read and impossible to forget. Its literary craft and emotional power will surprise readers unfamiliar with Strout. (Apr.)
虽然伊丽莎白·斯特劳特(Elizabeth Strout, 1956-)凭借其第三部著作《奥丽芙·基特里奇》成为2009年美国普利策小说奖得主,但其名声依旧没有在中国大陆被广泛传开。大部分读者对其知之甚少。她的第一本中文著作《艾米与伊莎贝尔》其实早在2004年就有台湾出版社出版。然而,她被...

评分和之前读过的阿摩司·奥兹的《乡村生活图景》一样,伊丽莎白·斯特劳斯的这部作品始终是我所渴望并且难以抗拒的那一类小说:群像式的书写、精简疏淡的笔触、女性作家一贯独有的细腻视角……生活在小镇克劳斯比的人们就和现实生活中的你我一样,有着可感可触的伤感、疼痛,以及,...
评分伊丽莎白·斯特劳特是个陌生的作家。不只对我来说是这样,大多数中国读者或许都有同感。借助网络,不难发现她的第一本书在二〇〇年获得橘子奖和美国笔会福克纳奖提名,而她的第三本书《奥丽芙·基特里奇》夺得了二〇〇九年的普利策小说奖。我认为比奖项更能说明斯特劳特这...
评分新经典文化在这个读书季主推三本书,来自两位澳大利亚作家的《我们一起去纽约》、《雾中回忆》和美国作家伊丽莎白.斯特劳特的《奥丽芙.基特里奇》。我没有丝毫犹豫,选择了斯特劳特。因为在《大方》No.1 中读过本书的开篇短故事《药店》,斯特劳特冷静的笔触,淡淡的叙事口吻,...
OK太真实了,真实到她的一举一动都能让我对应到现实中的人。作者ES很妙地在最后加了一段"采访",让OK从小说里走出来,直面自己的创作者,虽然ES称自己只是跟着她。 整本书由Crosby小镇里各个人的故事组成,OK时不时地穿插在其他的小故事里,读起来饶有趣味。不过这种写法结合作者细腻到1080p的描绘,故事的节奏就慢了很多,整个阅读时间持续了一个月。
评分both fool and sage.
评分娴熟的写作技巧。
评分美国人也有亲情的困惑。。没有了改编成剧本后浓缩纠缠在一起的情节的冲击力
评分原著的二次曝光要归功于HBO迷你剧的成功。这部长篇平静地讲述着小镇平静生活中的暗流,自私的人、分裂的人、固执的人、孤独的人,它既没有歌颂母爱的伟大,也并非批判中产阶级的软弱,而是用个体命运拼接的美式浮世绘。Olive就是你不合时宜的妈妈,爱你但无法沟通。因为,她可能还没学会爱自己
