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.

Also published as E. Annie Proulx
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.
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...
評分When I was in senior high three years ago, I gave up Pride and Prejudice after reading about thirty pages, just a small fraction of that copy. Many a time I was faced with a 70-word sentence without any punctuation marks and it always ended in analyzing its...
評分《船讯》中,比利•布莱蒂死去的父亲经常说:每个男人心中都有四个女人。草地上的小姐,魔鬼恋人,勇敢的女人,高个子的文静女人。 他也不知道父亲的话是什么意思。 《船讯》是美国女作家安妮•普鲁的第二部长篇小说,出版于1993年。 安妮•普鲁就是写《断背山》的那个...
評分如果不是娟娟的极力推荐,我恐怕不会知道这本书,更不会使劲把它读完。安妮普鲁在我是一个陌生的名字,后来才知道《断背山》的原著便是她。然而在读完了整本书之后,我不得不承认:这是一本有力量的书,一本值得细细品味,从头读到尾的小说。 整本书的感觉就像是在走一个很狭窄...
評分可以预见,因为《断背山》的缘故,国内的出版商会把安妮·普罗克斯当作新的金矿,进行大规模地开采,她的文集会以最快的速度登上各大书店的书架,书的封面,会有醒目的大号字提醒读者,她就是电影《断背山》的原创小说作者,李安凭这部电影捧回了奥斯卡最佳导演奖。文集会采用...
Professor told me: It is too heavy to read.
评分剛在車上看完,然後就一路小跑地迴傢瞭,好書就有這樣的效果,讓人興奮不已。推薦給有紐芬蘭情結的人,也同樣推薦不知道紐芬蘭是什麼的人,要麼你看不下去,要麼你看後就也想去看看那塊神奇的土地
评分為都市人量身打造的歸鄉療愈之旅,上有民俗神話和傢族傳統,下有地貌奇觀和生存睏境,我總覺太刻意。語言比故事有看頭,十分利落的短句、充滿靈光的比喻、劈裏啪啦的細節,屢有神來之筆。
评分1、跟《近距離》一樣,帶齣瞭newfoundland的風、雪和浪。2、Coyle當瞭主編之後,很討厭圍著桌子開會。大傢邊剖魚邊討論報紙的各個欄目,太喜歡瞭。
评分what he has was what he pretended.
