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.
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。
評分就算認定瞭孤獨和徒勞 還是會惶恐而感傷 | 太用力和不夠用力之間的關係還真是微妙
評分As touching as it is real, as beautiful as it is sad.
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。

評分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,...
