In his second collection of stories, as in his first, Carver's characters are peripheral people--people without education, insight or prospects, people too unimaginative to even give up. Carver celebrates these men and women.
Carver was born into a poverty-stricken family at the tail-end of the Depression. The son of a violent alcoholic, he married at 19, started a series of menial jobs and his own career of 'full-time drinking as a serious pursuit'. A career that would eventually kill him. Constantly struggling to support his wife and family Carver enrolled in a writing programme under author John Gardner in 1958 and he saw this as a turning point.
Rejecting the more experimental fiction of the 60s and 70s, he pioneered a precisionist realism reinventing the American short story during the eighties, heading the line of so-called 'dirty realists' or 'K-mart realists'. Set in trailer parks and shopping malls they are stories of banal lives that turn on a seeminlgy insignificant detail. Carver writes with meticulous economy suddenly bringing a life into focus in a similar way to the paintings of Edward Hopper. As well as a master of the short story he was an accomplished poet publishing several highly acclaimed volumes.
After the 'line of demarcation' in Carver's life - 2 June 1977, the day he stopped drinking - his stories become increasingly more redemptive and expansive. Alcohol had eventually shattered his health, his work and his family - his first marriage effectively ending in 1978. He finally married his long-term parter Tess Gallagher (they met ten years earlier at a writers' conference in Dallas) in Reno less than two months before he eventually lost his fight with cancer.
真苍凉
评分卡佛的小说根本不落俗套,你永远猜不到主角接下来要做什么,因为你从来就没摸着过头脑!看完之后只有一种想法:活着简直太悲摧了,每个人都闷闷不乐像是抑郁症患者、疯子、狂躁症不治人士、暴力狂。What we talk about when we talk about love? What we talk about when we talk about life?日复一日没有念想的重复平庸地生活,可被替代的恋人,可有可无的恼人的孩子。这样的生活,是不是可以鱼死网破,抑或一死了之?
评分真苍凉
评分卡佛的小说真是冰山理论的最好代表。对话的不连贯,人物的一个细微动作,无不暗示着一些更复杂的感情和关系。日常生活的危在旦夕,焦虑,不理解与失败的男女关系。我认为卡佛找到了一种合适的方法来表现。最喜欢sacks那篇。
评分没看懂就不瞎评了
“在艺术中,简洁并非是预定的目的,但是当一个人接近事物的本质时,总会不可避免地到达这一点。”用这段话来评价我心中的卡佛丝毫不为过。天朝的大多语文老师总是在课堂上歇斯底里地大喊文字要美,但遗憾的是他们心中的美其实是丑陋的。学生作文中充斥着大量浮夸的比喻句...
评分长篇或中篇小说中总会透露给人种种时代印记、作者寓意的信息,而当面对一篇篇短小精悍的短篇小说时,好像应该谈论些什么,又好像什么都不用谈论只能支吾着:“你看吧,反正是一本不错的小说。” “隐喻”、“新小说”、“寓言式”这一系列的词显得既强加阐释又像是废话...
评分这本书是Norman Denzin在他的Advanced Interpretive Method课上推荐的教材之一。Denzin想通过让我们阅读卡佛,来让我们体会只performance writing,就是只描写人物所能看见和感知到的东西而并不写他们的内心活动。这是我们学习Denzin所倡导的performance writing的导引。看过这...
评分卡佛的故事太简单了。小青年们在需要装逼时,往往喜欢使用卡夫卡博尔赫斯卡尔维诺纳博科夫之类的作家,他们用文字织迷宫玩智力游戏,从一个意象上就可以抽出无数条扯不断的支线丝网,每条支线都可以是金闪闪的装逼点。而卡佛的故事太简单了。就是个素面玻璃杯,一眼就能看穿,...
评分所有想看卡佛的这本短篇小说集的文艺青年们都应该放弃这个念头——这些小说里没有矫情和装腔作势,只有生活的真实的琐碎和无奈;这些小说不能带来谈资,而只会让人沉默。 短篇小说是生活或世界的一个剖面,就像建筑一样,没有哪一个剖面可以展现本体的全部,但是精心...
