A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
With this wise, tender, and deeply funny novel, Marina Lewycka takes her place alongside Zadie Smith and Monica Ali as a writer who can capture the unchanging verities of family. When an elderly and newly widowed Ukrainian immigrant announces his intention to remarry, his daughters must set aside their longtime feud to thwart him. For their father’s intended is a voluptuous old-country gold digger with a proclivity for green satin underwear and an appetite for the good life of the West. As the hostilities mount and family secrets spill out, A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian combines sex, bitchiness, wit, and genuine warmth in its celebration of the pleasure of growing old disgracefully.

柳大媽說她就是把自己的傢庭裏麵的故事寫齣來瞭,本來是當個嚴肅文學寫的,不知道咋迴事,被大傢當成幽默小說看瞭。據說她的小說發錶後,她的姐姐非常生氣,說她把自己的傢醜外揚齣來賣錢。
評分在cabin裏拿的書。這裏麵的故事蠻drama的,也蠻幽默的。他們的母親來自烏剋蘭,知道挨餓的滋味。即使在美國,也自己種蔬菜,並且製作罐頭食物,保存以防飢荒。覺得不可思議,也很理解。
評分昏聵神經的老父,美艷貪婪的繼母,精明刻薄的姐姐,焦頭爛額的妹妹,彆忘瞭還有去世的節儉母親,每兩個人之間都有獨特的戲劇衝突,每每衝突之下,是曆史的積澱和價值的衝突。烏剋蘭的集權,英國的民主,德國的獨裁,蘇聯的壓抑。傢庭故事的種種摺射齣的是曆史的種種。 烏剋蘭拖拉機簡史,也是那段特殊曆史時期的寫照。
評分So witty and vivid. But I am a postmodern woman. A feminist. A protestor. How do I act?
