具体描述
Pretty early on in The Gathering you realize that in her lingering portrait of the Hegarty clan (and this isn't hyperbole--they are a family of 12), Irish novelist Anne Enright will wrestle with all the giant literary tropes that have come before her. Family, of course, is the big one, but with equal intensity she explores death and dying, the sea and its siren song, sex, shame, secrecy, unreliable memories, madness, "the drink," and--always in the shadows--England. That said, it's not like any other novel about the Irish that I've read. The story of the Hegartys is indeed bleak, and hard, but it surges with tenderness and eloquent thought which, in the end, are the very things that help this family (or at least her narrator Veronica) survive. Through her eyes, and in Enright's skillful imagination, those small turning-point moments of life that we all know in some form or another--a petty fight, a careless word, an event witnessed--come together in an unshakeable vision of how you become the person you are. --Anne Bartholomew

读后感
文/小书蠹找乐子 人来人往的聚会并无欢欣，因为它是因葬礼而起。安﹒恩莱特以《聚会》命名小说，怎不教人侧目？ 小说以主人公薇罗妮卡的视角，讲述了由哥哥黎安葬礼牵扯出的家族故事。母亲生育了12个子女，人越多，彼此却越生疏；一家人有着共同血脉、共同渊源，却根本谈不上...
评分 评分没有序言，没有后记，这是作家出版社的典型风格，原来曾有一批“作家参考丛书”就是这样，不是为普通读者消遣所用。 上周出门前将这本书放到背包内，在飞往美国的飞机上读了一遍，在一周后飞回时又读了一遍。如果不是这样的机会，也不会在一周内读上二遍，否则也不能品出它的...
评分一般家庭中都存在两种人与人之间最亲密的关系——父母与子女、丈夫与妻子。这两种亲密关系都与肉体和爱有关：前者因为先天的肉体脱胎关系而天然相爱，后者因为后天的相爱而追求肉体相融。因为夫妻之间的爱和亲密关系都是后天的，所以夫与妻既相爱又相互伤害并不奇怪；而父母与...
评分得到这本书纯数是个偶然，办事途中经过学校附近的一家二手书屋，居然发现角落里堆着像A Thousand Splendid Suns，The Time Traveller's Wife这样的原版书，不容易的呢，而且价格才十几块钱，不过垃圾书也不少，我翻了半天挑中了这本零七年的布克奖作品，本意也无非是拿回去压箱...
