图书描述

In his National Book Award winning novel Augustus, John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher's Crossing, his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America.

It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, fired up by Emerson to seek ''an original relation to nature,'' drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher's Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. Butcher's Crossing is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisiacal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher's Crossing to find a world as irremediably changed as they have been.

看到50%的时候就觉得:必须得要死人这故事才算了。

我实在太喜欢Williams的文笔了,exquisite, 简直我的终极美学目标。完美的小说。

评分

The bulk of description wore me out, and I just wanted to be done with it. (Oh and I kept thinking of movies like Bounty Hunters and the Hateful Eight while I was reading.) I like Williams the most when he gets into inner workings of his characters; the ending and the opening are really good.

评分

Too much wordy description while the characters’ emotions remain flat and restrained. Honestly speaking I didn’t enjoy reading the book and just don’t like this “academic” style of fiction writing which has literally worn me out.

挺有意思的一本书,西部生活百科。 看的时候脑子里都是《八恶人》的画面,尤其是那大雪。

“有谁的身世听起来比你更可怜?有谁在凶恶的灾难中遭遇着人生的变迁,比你更可怜?” ——古希腊悲剧《俄狄浦斯王》 从《斯通纳》到《屠夫十字镇》,读者的视野由学院生活延伸到西部旷野,你会发现作家约翰•威廉斯总有意无意地踩在小说分类的边缘,轻率的读者很容...

美国作家约翰·爱德华·威廉斯(1922-1994)是文学出版界的一个奇特现象。其“学术小说”《斯托纳》(Stoner)近年因法国作家安娜·贾维尔达(Anna Gavalda) 将其翻译成法文,并极力推崇,在欧洲热卖。这部小说写于1965年,此番重出江湖时,出版商宣传其为“你尚未读过的最伟大的...

评分

和大部分人一样,我也是在看了《斯通纳》以后,才认识了John Williams,在读完《斯通纳》后,觉得十分意犹未尽,于是看起了这本《屠夫十字镇》。 或许我们每个人都曾是安德鲁斯,厌倦了日常生活,觉得琐碎的生活是压抑的、丑陋的、懒散的、毫无意义的,我们渴望冲破这样的束缚...
