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.

评分如果不假思索，绝大多数人都可能认为天堂就是充分满足感官享受的地方，基本上就是一个想吃啥吃啥，想喝啥喝啥，想看啥看啥，听啥听啥，想怎么睡谁就怎么睡谁的地方。当然境界高点的人可能还会要求证实哥德巴赫猜想什么的，但是对一般人而言，能充分满足感官享受的地方就...
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...

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.
评分Witty and wicked, elegant and enchanting. John Berendt's words have such a magic that makes you want to visit this wild, beautiful, dangerous, and parochial city.
评分开始读!据说读完会爱上Savannah!
