“The first of my father’s illusions was that bears could survive the life lived by human beings, and the second was that human beings could survive a life led in hotels.” So says John Berry, son of a hapless dreamer, brother to a cadre of eccentric siblings, and chronicler of the lives lived, the loves experienced, the deaths met, and the myriad strange and wonderful times encountered by the family Berry. Hoteliers, pet-bear owners, friends of Freud (the animal trainer and vaudevillian, that is), and playthings of mad fate, they “dream on” in a funny, sad, outrageous, and moving novel by the remarkable author of A Prayer for Owen Meany and Last Night in Twisted River .
约翰·欧文(John Irving),被美国文坛泰斗冯内古特喻为“美国最重要的幽默作家”,是当代最知名的小说家之一,他作品中所呈现的高超的说故事技巧与优美的文学性,使人们常将他与狄更斯和J. D. 塞林格等重量级小说家相提并论。他的小说不仅赢得书评界的一致推崇,而且叫好又叫座,是西方最畅销的小说家之一。

评分约翰·欧文的小说很好看。这种好看是指,任何人,只要拿起他的书,都可以如着魔般读下去。不同于西方的现代派或后现代主义作家,这位狄更斯的推崇者依旧秉持着自十九世纪(抑或更早)以来的文学传统,即“说故事的人”。基于这个原则,看欧文的小说几乎不需要任何门槛,你不需...
