Universally acclaimed when it was first published in 1968, Slouching Towards Bethlehem has become a modern classic. More than any other book of its time, this collection captures the mood of 1960s America, especially the center of its counterculture, California. These essays, keynoted by an extraordinary report on San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, all reflect that, in one way or another, things are falling apart, "the center cannot hold." An incisive look at contemporary American life, Slouching Towards Bethlehem has been admired for several decades as a stylistic masterpiece.

I was not then guilt-ridden about spending afternoons that way, because I still had all the afternoons in the world. Goodbye to all that.
评分Goodbye to all that略帶當前逃離北上廣的啓迪 “...an infinitely romantic notion, the mysterious nexus of all love and money and power, the shining and perishable dream itself...”
评分寫嬉皮社區這篇報道太炸裂瞭，我得把它翻譯齣來，目前每天晚上喝兩個啤酒對著手機打中文翻個兩頁，預估瞭一下進度，還有40 多頁，翻完這閤同應該就還剩下1 個多月瞭
评分We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and we screamed, forget who we were.
评分因為是JoanDidion
