In this touching and atmospheric novel set among the fishermen of Newfoundland, Proulx tells the story of Quoyle. From all outward appearances, Quoyle has gone through his first 36 years on earth as a big schlump of a loser. He's not attractive, he's not brilliant or witty or talented, and he's not the kind of person who typically assumes the central position in a novel. But Proulx creates a simple and compelling tale of Quoyle's psychological and spiritual growth. Along the way, we get to look in on the maritime beauty of what is probably a disappearing way of life.

Edna Annie Proulx is an American journalist and author. Her second novel, The Shipping News (1993), won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for fiction in 1994. Her short story "Brokeback Mountain" was adapted as an Academy Award, BAFTA and Golden Globe Award-winning major motion picture released in 2005. Brokeback Mountain received massive critical acclaim and went on to be nominated for a leading eight Academy Awards, winning three of them. (However, the movie did not win Best Picture, a situation with which Proulx made public her disappointment.) She won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction for her first novel, Postcards. She has written most of her stories and books simply as Annie Proulx, but has also used the names E. Annie Proulx and E.A. Proulx.
在深圳书店随手翻到安妮普鲁的THE SHIPPING NEWS,还没有意识到这个安妮普鲁就是短篇小说BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN的作者ANNIE PROULX。 短短几十页的BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN,受尽一些爱书人的好评。起初以为是因为小说描写了边缘题材的故事,才受到追捧。 但看了THE SHIPPING NEWS的开...
评分《船讯》作者安妮·普鲁的另一部作品《断背山》相信很多人都已经熟悉了,而这本书首先吸引我的是简洁的封面,它让我想起那个非常善于使用景色对比来表达感情的希腊电影大师;另外一点就是它获得了1994年的普利策奖。大概翻看了一下,基调就是阴天的海边、霏雨、腐烂的木头...

评分BBC的World Book Club前不久采访了Annie Proulx,其间讨论了两本书,就是这本《航运新闻》,还有《断背山》。可惜douban现在好象不能共享音频和视频吧? 对书有兴趣的人可以到这个地址去订阅podcast: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/directory/。
评分这本书吸引我的第一要素,不是其作者的显赫,甚至跟它的内容无关。我的一眼看到它的封面时,就莫明喜欢上了那种感觉--带点清冽,带点冷寂。而这种感觉通常都会使我沉溺。语言的简约不消说,更有趣的是它若干个用巧妙作喻的细节。这种洗练的文字让人非常的舒服。哪怕是最深情的...
Just finished, still having trouble spelling the names of the author and the protagonist. a heart warming story unfolded on a bleak land.
