“'You will do foolish things' said the great writer Colette, 'but do them with enthusiasm!' And that, my darlings, I have done! So put your feet up, relax, and let me take you on one woman's journey through the beguiling, bewildering wilderness of romantic encounters, replete with puppy love, Latin love, smoldering lust, stardust, obsession, high comedy, high camp, and all manner of peccadilloes and misadventures. A rollicking, madcap ride through the wide-open countryside of love. Just watch out for land mines.”
--From My First Five Husbands . . . And the Ones Who Got Away
People always ask me if I'm like Blanche. And I say, 'Well, Blanche was an oversexed, self-involved, man-crazy, vain Southern Belle from Atlanta -- and I'm not from Atlanta!’” -- Rue McClanahan
Who can forget Rue McClanahan as the sexy Southern vixen, Blanche Devereaux, on the Emmy-award winning series The Golden Girls? With her breezy sex appeal and sharp comedic timing, Rue infused her character with a sassy joie de vivre that captured the hearts of audiences around the world. Now, the actress behind the magic reveals her life in and out of the spotlight in a laugh-out-loud funny memoir about love, marriage, men, and getting older that is every bit as colorful as the characters she plays.
Raised in small-town Oklahoma in a house “thirteen telephone poles past the standpipe north of town,” Rue developed her two great passions—theater and men—at an early age. She arrived in New York City in 1957 with two-weeks worth of money in her pocket, hustled her way into a class with the legendary Uta Hagen, and began working her way up in the acting world against the vibrant, free-spirited backdrop of the sixties. That’s when she met and married Husband #1—a handsome rogue of an aspiring actor who quickly left her with a young son. Still, she was determined to make it on the stage and screen—and in the years that followed, rose to the top of the entertainment world with a host of adventures (and husbands) along the way.
From her roles on Broadway opposite Dustin Hoffman and Brad Davis, to her first television appearances on Maude and All in the Family, to the Golden Girls era and beyond, My First Five Husbands is the irresistible story of one woman’s quest to find herself. Now happily married to Husband #6, Rue is proof that many things can and do get better with age—and that with tenacity, talent, and a little help from Saint Dymphna, even a small-town girl can make it big.
Told with Rue’s saucy wit and Southern charm, My First Five husbands is a deliciously entertaining take on life and love from an irrepressible star.

我必须承认,这本书的文笔细腻得像瑞士顶级的腕表工艺,每一个词语的排列组合都经过了深思熟虑,却又读起来毫不费力,反而有一种自然流淌的韵律感。叙事视角在不同的时间线和人物内心之间切换得天衣无缝,就像一台老电影放映机,精准地切换着光影,让你既能看到事件的表象,又能窥见其背后复杂幽微的心理活动。这本书的节奏控制堪称教科书级别,张弛有度,高潮部分的爆发力强劲有力,而那些安静沉思的段落,又像是一汪深潭,让人愿意驻足凝视。更让我惊喜的是,作者对社会背景的描摹极其考究,那种时代氛围的营造,不是简单地罗列历史事件,而是通过生活化的细节,比如服装的剪裁、街角的咖啡馆、甚至是特定年代的流行音乐,巧妙地将故事熔铸于那个特定的时空之中,极大地增强了阅读的沉浸感和真实感。
评分这本书的封面设计简直是视觉上的盛宴,那种带着一丝复古又兼具现代摩登感的排版,立刻抓住了我的眼球。我一拿到手,就忍不住摩挲着那精装的质感,感觉就像是捧着一件值得珍藏的艺术品。作者在叙事风格上展现出一种近乎狡黠的幽默感,那种不动声色的讽刺,总能在不经意间让你会心一笑,嘴角不自觉地上扬。故事情节的推进极其流畅,如同高手调酒师精心调制的一杯鸡尾酒,酸甜苦辣,各种情绪的层次感被把握得恰到好处,让你从翻开第一页开始就完全沉浸其中,完全无法自拔。书中的人物塑造极其立体和丰满,每一个角色都有自己独特的“声纹”,他们的动机、挣扎和选择都让人感同身受,仿佛他们就是你身边真实存在的朋友或宿敌。这本书的魅力在于,它探讨的不仅仅是关系本身,更是关于成长、自我认知以及如何与世界和解的深刻议题,读完之后,内心会有一种被轻轻触动、重新审视人生的感觉。
评分这本书的伟大之处,也许在于它成功地构建了一个既宏大又微小的叙事场域。它用看似琐碎的日常事件,映射出宏大的时代变迁和个体命运的无常。作者的笔触非常克制,情感的表达往往是“藏拙”的,没有过度渲染,但正是这种克制,让关键的情感爆发点显得愈发震撼人心。每一次人物的重大抉择,都不是简单的对错之分,而是基于复杂环境、个人历史和瞬间情感冲动的综合体现,这使得角色无比真实,不再是脸谱化的符号。我尤其欣赏作者对于“留白”艺术的运用,很多关键的转折点和结局的处理都留下了足够的想象空间,仿佛是在邀请读者参与到故事的“再创作”中去,去填补那些未言明的空白。这使得这本书的开放性和可讨论性极高,是那种读完后忍不住想和朋友激烈辩论一番的类型。
评分从结构上看,这本书的处理手法极其大胆且具有实验性。作者似乎故意打乱了传统的线性叙事逻辑,用碎片化的信息和非线性的回忆交叉编织出一个宏大而又私密的内在宇宙。起初,这种跳跃感可能会让一些读者感到略微吃力,但一旦你适应了这种独特的“节奏语汇”,就会发现这种结构恰恰是服务于主题的最佳载体——生活本身就是一场充满回响和重复的循环,过去从未真正过去。大量的内心独白和细腻的感官描写,使得这本书的阅读体验具有很强的感官穿透力,你仿佛能闻到书中人物身上残留的香水味,感受到他们指尖的颤抖。这种高度个人化和内省化的叙事,让读者仿佛被邀请进入了一个非常私密的空间,见证了那些最真实、最脆弱的人性瞬间。
评分坦白说,我通常对这类题材的书籍持保留态度,总担心会落入俗套或过度煽情。然而,这本书彻底颠覆了我的预期。它没有落入任何一个预设的框架,反而以一种近乎解构主义的姿态,将人际关系中的复杂性、模糊性和不可预测性展现得淋漓尽致。作者似乎拥有一种魔力,能够将那些我们试图隐藏或否认的情感碎片,精准地捕捉并放置在阳光下,让人无法回避。阅读的过程更像是一场与自我的深度对话,每一次翻页,都像是揭开了一层关于“爱”、“承诺”和“遗憾”的迷雾。这本书的后劲非常大,合上书本后,那种思考的余韵久久不散,你可能会发现自己开始审视自己生命中那些关键的“岔路口”,以及那些擦肩而过的可能性。它不是一本读完就丢的书,而是一本值得反复咀嚼、常读常新的佳作。
