From one of the Observer's Rising Stars of 2017, a high-risk, highbrow and intimate novel – and one of the most anticipated works of fiction this year.
Conversations with Friends is about Frances, Bobbi, Nick and Melissa, four characters who ask each other endless questions. As their relationships unfold, in person and online, they discuss sex and friendship, art and literature, politics and gender, and, of course, one another. Twenty-one-year-old Frances is at the heart of it all, bringing us this tale of a complex menage-a-quatre and her affair with Nick, an older married man.
You can read Conversations with Friends as a romantic comedy, or you can read it as a feminist text. You can read it as a book about infidelity, about the pleasures and difficulties of intimacy, or about how our minds think about our bodies. However you choose to read it, it is an unforgettable novel about the possibility of love.
'Fascinating, ferocious and shrewd. Sally Rooney has the sharpest eye for all of the most delicate cruelties of human interaction.' (Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies)
'Sally Rooney is a writer going all the way to the top. Conversations with Friends features the twenty-first century Irish descendents of Salinger's guileless wiseasses brought to life in prose as taut and coolly poised as early Bret Easton Ellis.' (Colin Barrett, author of Young Skins)
'Written with such precision and perceptiveness, full of arid humour and reckless despair, a novel of spine-tingling salience.' (Sara Baume, author of Spill Simmer Falter Wither)
'Forensically smart and pin-sharp witty, this is a book to cherish and a writer to fall in love with.' (Thomas Morris, author of We Don't Know What We're Doing)
Sally Rooney was born in 1991 and lives in Dublin, where she graduated from Trinity College. Her work has appeared in Granta, The Dublin Review, The White Review, The Stinging Fly, and the Winter Pages anthology.
好细致。 77,i gave him head.少儿不太宜。 121,《花与爱丽丝》。 177,此处有呼应。为什么尼克需要女人笑的回应。women laughing always relaxed him. 213,叶芝躺枪。 233,暗中偷负去,夜半真给力。照理moved和touched,应该是前者力道更足,实则未必。总归是动了,移动的...
评分This book gets better. It reminds me of The Idiot, but more relatable. Not that I’ve had similar life experiences like any of the characters, but the narrator Frances’ personality, sensitive and yet slow to realize her own feelings, acutely perceptive and...
一个只能在年轻时写出的真诚故事。在智力与爱的撕扯下跌入成人世界,感受金钱、外貌、年龄、成就、甚至爱带来的权力差异。在学校里学到的知识统统归零,年轻的女孩开始第二次生命,“有的事你只有活过才能懂得,而我这次不想当一个分析的人。”
评分So vividly real! I feel like I relate to Frances when she acted cool, but actually all ups and downs inside just over a word or a gesture by Nick, and when she played aloof as being hurt, and definitely when she felt uncertain, unimportant, unworthy of true love and constantly made bad choices that she was not sure of. A lot to chew on, exhausted.

评分这种经验写作的优点缺点都很明显,可以代入自然是极好,但对于那些不具备主角人格情感经历的读者来说,通篇像是一份无法理解无法共情的人啰嗦心理描写无限延长,too personal而不具有普适性,而且我也真的不在乎low-esteem二十一岁女孩反复沉迷nick有多帅。小圈子里自我陶醉还行,在文学里格局过低
评分准确,因此展示出我们这种软弱又自毁的左派千禧一代到底能有多烦人。
