"They carried all the emotional baggage of men who might die. Grief, terror, love, longing--these were intangibles, but the intangibles had their own mass and specific gravity, they had tangible weight. They carried shameful memories. They carried the common secret of cowardice.... Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to."

A finalist for both the 1990 Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award, The Things They Carried marks a subtle but definitive line of demarcation between Tim O'Brien's earlier works about Vietnam, the memoir If I Die in a Combat Zone and the fictional Going After Cacciato, and this sly, almost hallucinatory book that is neither memoir nor novel nor collection of short stories but rather an artful combination of all three. Vietnam is still O'Brien's theme, but in this book he seems less interested in the war itself than in the myriad different perspectives from which he depicts it. Whereas Going After Cacciato played with reality, The Things They Carried plays with truth. The narrator of most of these stories is "Tim"; yet O'Brien freely admits that many of the events he chronicles in this collection never really happened. He never killed a man as "Tim" does in "The Man I Killed," and unlike Tim in "Ambush," he has no daughter named Kathleen. But just because a thing never happened doesn't make it any less true. In "On the Rainy River," the character Tim O'Brien responds to his draft notice by driving north, to the Canadian border where he spends six days in a deserted lodge in the company of an old man named Elroy while he wrestles with the choice between dodging the draft or going to war. The real Tim O'Brien never drove north, never found himself in a fishing boat 20 yards off the Canadian shore with a decision to make. The real Tim O'Brien quietly boarded the bus to Sioux Falls and was inducted into the United States Army. But the truth of "On the Rainy River" lies not in facts but in the genuineness of the experience it depicts: both Tims went to a war they didn't believe in; both considered themselves cowards for doing so. Every story in The Things They Carried speaks another truth that Tim O'Brien learned in Vietnam; it is this blurred line between truth and reality, fact and fiction, that makes his book unforgettable. --Alix Wilber--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

红色封皮,天空是沉闷的暗红色,飞着一架军事直升机,飞机底部吊着一门炮或者是什么东西,对于我这样的外行,是什么那并不重要,那门炮或什么东西之下吊着一个沉重的包裹,也许是包裹也许不是,而那东西是什么,同样并不重要。飞机,(炮),(包裹),呈倒三角形悬挂在血...

在那部已经成为经典的纪录片《远离越南》中,大导演戈达尔这样沉思:如果我们不能亲自到那里的时候,也许最好方式就是在我们每人心中都打造一个越南。戈达尔曾经想在越战期间深入越南拍摄一部电影来反思这场不义的战争,由于签证被拒而最终作罢。但他在纪录片中关于越南的沉思...

本书是写越战的,由一个叙事者讲述的多篇小故事。在描述战争经验的深度方面,可以赶上伊萨卡•巴别尔的那本倍受赞誉的《红色骑兵军》。巴别尔是个犹太诗人,他的语言在浪漫和恢谐中带着宗教的厚重。而奥布莱恩是个美国诗人,他的语言在写实的厚重中带着敏锐的沉思。他们写的...

玛丽的故事听上去很荒唐,但是看完本书又觉得战争确实有这种魔力来改变一个人. 另外最后一章作者描写的与童年恋人linda的故事让人感受到了那种纯真的爱情. 而他们在河滩的粪堆上作战的情景让人印象深刻.  

評分

一个士兵的精神崩溃/麻木历史。 他们carry的东西太多了。 Carry的东西既可以让他们生也可以让他们死。 不仅是肉体上的Carry,也有精神上的carry。 他们被动地选择carry不愿carry的东西。 是memory给的,是imagination给的,是羞愧感给的,是position system给的。 他们无法拒绝...

一本讀瞭放不下的書

人們談論的是戰爭,但士兵講的故事永遠無關戰爭。這個war story關乎更細膩的東西,滂沱中的腥臭,柔軟的陽光和死亡,撫摸過一萬次的信,寜靜的夜,唱歌的山,湖心垂釣的船,星星一樣的眼洞。個體的記憶感受被突齣得既具象又縹緲,而這兩者本就同一。虛構和事實被融成難捨難分的陶泥,共同指嚮深處的情感內核。發生過的事就像吃巧剋力或糞便的感覺般無法講述,像山間的歌聲和鬼魂一樣沒有形體,隻會在深夜扯著頭發吵醒一切然後逃離。宏大的美好下有無盡細密微小的痛苦、幽默和悲哀。朝著它或它的反方嚮呐喊,結果都是無聲無息——沒有人會聽或懂,能做的隻有背著重負開著車一圈圈兜著湖轉,等待最後毫無意義的煙花秀——聽眾瞪圓的眼睛都刻著永不迴信的誓言。琳達就是篇創作談,在夢裏重見的並不比真實更假,Tim的故事都寫給Timmy.

傑作。關於說故事的故事,虛虛實實,幽默 - 作為生命中難以承受的輕盈以對抗生命消亡的哀愁。作者是個真正的故事大師,準確無誤的一幕幕場景體現著以文學起死迴生的最終希冀。
