图书描述

Joyce Carol Oates’s Wonderland Quartet comprises four remarkable novels that explore social class in America and the inner lives of young Americans. In Expensive People, Oates takes a provocative and suspenseful look at the roiling secrets of America’s affluent suburbs. Set in the late 1960s, this first-person confession is narrated by Richard Everett, a precocious and obese boy who sees himself as a minor character in the alarming drama unfolding around him.

Fascinated by yet alienated from his attractive, self-absorbed parents and the privileged world they inhabit, Richard incisively analyzes his own mismanaged childhood, his pretentious private schooling, his “successful-executive” father, and his elusive mother. In an act of defiance and desperation, eleven-year-old Richard strikes out in a way that presages the violence of ever-younger Americans in the turbulent decades to come.

A National Book Award finalist, Expensive People is a stunning combination of social satire and gothic horror. “You cannot put this novel away after you have opened it,” said The Detroit News . “This is that kind of book–hypnotic, fascinating, and electrifying.”

Expensive People is the second novel in the Wonderland Quartet. The books that complete this acclaimed series, A Garden of Earthly Delights , them, and Wonderland , are also available from the Modern Library.

they are not rich people; they are expensive people

评分

俄狄浦斯情结与弑母主题在小说中都不鲜见,但将之结合在一起的作品不多。一场十一岁男孩薛定谔的谋杀,从题材上足够吸引眼球了,但奥茨并没将重心放在情节上。没有什么情节可言,华丽精致优雅宁静的乡村生活只是表象,其下涌动着悲惨阴郁愤怒嫉恨麻木。人们带着空白的笑意关照彼此,目中无人。本作主题是讽刺美国社会伪善,但也触及到母权力量和女性主义范畴。不被造物主接纳的生命,就像失去信仰的有神论者,在灵魂的荒岛上漂流。
