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【读品】罗豫/文 虽然在现代小说中，真理与谎言、现实与虚幻这些老对头披着彼此的衣服跑来跑去早已不是什么新鲜事，但这本《午夜善恶花园》还是让人吃了一大惊。如果不看前言和介绍，恐怕读到最后一页也弄不清楚，这究竟是一本小说，还是一部关于美国南部小城沙凡纳的纪实报道...
评分麻袋哥哥发了书票，说是小神仙的儿童节礼物，一直没空，周日到大众书局，很当回事儿的楼上楼下翻找，想找本好看的买回，近一个小时时间，眼里都是大量的再版读物或是名著之类。不情愿的拿了这本《午夜的善恶花园》听名字象是满有哲理的样子。想是自己不喜欢的类型。 实际的...
评分如题，可能是本人不太适合译者或者作者的说话思维，不觉得如推荐般那么有趣，第一部快看完了正式的内容还没出来呢，题还没点呢
评分If Winesburg Ohio married In Cold Blood , they would probably produce a child like Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil , who bears some resemblance to both parents ,yet definitely has its own distinctive features and worth. If the weirdoes in Winesburg ...

开始读!据说读完会爱上Savannah!
评分exotic, funny and enchanting
评分Who is the protagonist? -Savannah, the whole town, which stays detached like always
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.
评分没有想到西方国家也有这么多街坊邻里之间的八卦可以深挖的。去过Savannah以后再回来读，就很容易想象一个个人物走过一个个广场一条条街道的样子，原来那些美丽的建筑里还有这么多的故事。
