具體描述
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.

讀後感
看完书之后就想，它如何能高居《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜5年之久？虽然中西方人的阅读习惯和审美标准会有差异，但是差异其实远没有大家想想的那么大。而真正优秀的文学作品不管是放在任何地域和环境中都是同样精彩的。 如果说这本书最吸引人眼球的地方，就是“沙凡纳”这个在...
評分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 ...
評分在这样一个偏远小镇上，竟然有这么丰富多彩的人物，他们个个性格各异，并且个个都非常有特殊，每个人都在自己的领地里展示这自己的丰富生活，我很喜欢这些人，虽然他们都存在这很大的缺点，但是他们却过着多彩的，是我们这些过着平凡日子的人所羡慕的，他们真是由于他们...
評分在哈尔滨和沈阳的病床上看完了《午夜善恶花园》，一本有趣的书，光怪陆离，妙趣横生，作者的叙事方式很巧妙，很流畅，翻译的也不错，难得这么厚的外国小说让我看得有滋有味的。 推荐之。
評分这本书我毫不费力的看完了，但是确实对于本书畅销程度不是很理解，个人认为严格的说，这本小说一定程度反应了作者的人生态度和语言环境。读起来其实没有感觉到更深的悬疑逻辑，其实是对沙凡纳这座城市所体现的生活氛围的一种诠释，在描述中自然得让读者领略到生活中的不羁与人...

评分exotic, funny and enchanting
评分十五年前看過改編電影完全沒任何印象，前幾天去旅行纔意識到這書是寫薩瓦納的，因為完全被城市迷住所以迴來立即找來讀，驚為天人，感覺被作者帶著又走瞭一遍全城所有的house tour, history tour, ghost tour，字裏行間都能體會到小城的氣息，這種奇怪獨特又迷人的氣質勾得我也想一次次再迴去，或者默默住上半年。如何寫一座城市，這書真是極緻瞭。電影根本改不齣來的。
