Winner of the 1961 National Book Award
The dazzling novel that established Walker Percy as one of the major voices in Southern literature is now available for the first time in Vintage paperback.
The Moviegoer is Binx Bolling, a young New Orleans stockbroker who surveys the world with the detached gaze of a Bourbon Street dandy even as he yearns for a spiritual redemption he cannot bring himself to believe in. On the eve of his thirtieth birthday, he occupies himself dallying with his secretaries and going to movies, which provide him with the "treasurable moments" absent from his real life. But one fateful Mardi Gras, Binx embarks on a hare-brained quest that outrages his family, endangers his fragile cousin Kate, and sends him reeling through the chaos of New Orleans' French Quarter. Wry and wrenching, rich in irony and romance, The Moviegoer is a genuine American classic.
Walker Percy (1916–1990) was one of the most prominent American writers of the twentieth century. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, he was the oldest of three brothers in an established Southern family that contained both a Civil War hero and a US senator. Acclaimed for his poetic style and moving depictions of the alienation of modern American culture, Percy was the bestselling author of six fiction titles—including the classic novel The Moviegoer (1961), winner of the National Book Award—and fifteen works of nonfiction. In 2005, Time magazine named The Moviegoer one of the best English-language books published since 1923
看完这本书,马上想到一部电影《革命之路》,或许革命之路里的凯特温斯莱特是女版的比克保林。区别是小说更像是沉静的内省,而电影更富悲剧意味的,情节更戏剧化。 大学时代的我很迷茫,就去读各式各样的书;后来喜欢上看电影也是把它当成人生的样式来考察、参照与思考。看了这...
評分我借来纯粹是因为题目。 书籍而已,是否经典,到了我们这个身在教育体系之中就已经在批判社会的人生阶段,我们自己可以辨别。 一本书是否有用,是否经典,全在于你能得到多少。 莎翁的剧不学英语的不能看,因为我们翻译得太差。 这本书的翻译很好,看到楼上在评论作者的文字,...
評分“什么是昨日重现?那就是要再次重现过去的经历,目的在于分拣出已经流逝的时光,剔除了事件的干扰之后(事件就像是薄脆糖上的花生,把时间凝结在一起),这段流逝的时光就会散发出自己的醇厚芬芳。比如说,上个星期,我就在不经意中体验了一次昨日重现。我在图书馆里随手拿...
評分没看不出“自省”的主题与电影有多大的关系,事实上,连提到电影的地方都很少;但阅读这本书的过程却很是奇妙:一方面相当流畅,印满铅字的纸张水一般一页一页地滑过;另一方面,却让人出现严重的记忆障碍,例如那些接踵而至的人物,是被珀西突兀地添加进来的呢,还是在纷...
評分这本书很好看,没有什么吸引人的情节,却总能引起我的共鸣。 书中有的是两个与现实格格不入的人,一个主人公比克,他总是在自省,观察一切,寻找什么,在寻找生活的意义吧,这本来是个没有答案的问题。他没有信仰,批判一切,嘲笑一切。一个靠自杀活下去的他的表妹凯特,但...
16416被石堅教授說得神乎其神的一本書,個人感覺還好
评分無聊的傢庭瑣事的那一部分我不是很喜歡,但是還是有一些內容擊中我的。。
评分Elegant writing + flat storyline. Essentially what happens when you turn thirty and come back from a war... Binx... I just want to shake him sometimes.
