具体描述
Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty,early morning hours of May 2, 1981.Was it murder or self-defense?For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares.John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction.Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case.
It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman's Card Club; the turbulent young redneck gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the "soul of pampered self-absorption"; the uproariously funny black drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young blacks dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight.These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, this enormously engaging portrait of a most beguiling Southern city has become a modern classic.

评分小说由于它的的虚构性，其中每一个出场人物必须被人为安排一个准确而合适的支点。每一个人物，无论大小主次，一定与作品中的整个大环境有某种内在逻辑关系。要说得通，否则不予存在。要紧凑，消除节外生枝的可能。 而伯兰特的人物不需要这些理由，他们存在因为确实存在。...
评分不晓得有没有人考证过，炎热的气候会不会让人比较爱唠叨，而寒冷的气候是不是就让人和爱斯基摩人一样地惜字如金、沉默寡言？兴许，是因为闷热潮湿的天气在作怪，让美国南部的小城居民都用劲没处使，染上了爱八卦的毛病，无论好事坏事，一下子就能传遍全城，人人都知道别人在干...
评分尽管在《午夜善恶花园》一书前言的开头部分作者约翰·伯兰特就提醒读者“这本书的确是一部非虚构作品，所有的人物和他们的故事都是真实的”，读者难免还是会将这段表白视作狡猾作者的一种文字游戏，并不当真，仍然抱着读小说的心态读下去。但是，这本书越往后读越让人生出拿起...
评分午夜善恶花园 12级5班陶罗琪 这是一本很神奇的书。 说它神奇，实在不为过。它是真实的，但不代表它完全真实；它含有虚构，可很难看出它在哪里开始虚构。所有的真实与虚假犹如光和影一般融合在一起，恰到好处，仿佛本身就不存在分离一样。它不是小说，也...

评分02/28/2017 P 倒不能说多有意思，可是对于萨凡纳小城的描写确实对旅行大有裨益。
评分The ordinary became extraordinary. Eccentrics thrived. Every nuance and quirk of personality achieved greater brilliance in that lush enclosure than would have been possible anywhere else in the world.
