When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty facade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils...Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? A big novel about a small town, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults. It is the work of a storyteller like no other.
盼到了J.K.罗琳的新书,却不是《哈利·波特》的续集,而是一个全新的故事供成年人阅读。故事发生在英国西南部一个名叫帕格的小镇上,刚过不惑之年的巴里•菲尔布拉泽先生突然病逝。原本生老病死、悲欢离别是再正常不过的事罢了,但平日里安宁和睦的帕格镇便从此开始了...
評分我想,成名作家最大的烦恼莫过于如何延续或是突破自我的创作生涯,他或她们不喜欢也不希望当自己的新作品呈现给读者时,所得到的反馈是令人失望的自我重复,渐而陷入江郎才尽的一潭死水,这对于任何一位作者而言都是不得不面对的挑战。显而易见,新作品担负的重任不仅要表现出...
評分冷漠•忽视•伤害•报复 文:蓝文青 这是一组可以切分的镜头: 第一个:在一个阳光灿烂的日子里,正午时分,一个三岁左右没有人陪伴的孤单幼儿独自沿着河岸走,“脸上沾满了巧克力,邋里邋遢的”,途径他身边的加文“心里只想着自己碎成渣的幸福”,一丁点也没想为何这...
評分帕格镇因为巴里的死亡陷入一场争夺议员席位的无硝烟战争,围绕一种基于远离英伦十万八千里的上海在地情怀一般的经济与风俗博弈,展开了一场针对小镇与市区及中间“丛地”之于帕格镇去留的拉锯战。这太不罗琳了,遥想当年,《哈利•波特》的世界,天马行空之下,亦多不列颠风...
評分如果这是一部电影,那么你希望最后一个镜头定格在哪里? 在合上书之后,这个问题始终盘桓在我的心里,犹豫再三,我希望会是克里斯塔尔赢得比赛高举奖杯的那一幕,镜头可以从奖杯不断上移,直到一片湛蓝色的的天空占据整片银幕,背景歌曲当然应该是那首她最喜欢的...
從兒童文學轉到現實題材,羅琳首先便想到瞭“揭露”富裕的中産階級社區歲月靜好外錶下掩藏的罪惡和冷漠;這畢竟是每一個有野心的小說傢都用過的套路,想來真是討巧。
评分批判社會、揭露人性、記錄時代,值得期待
