Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.
But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And it is Raymond’s big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one.
Smart, warm, uplifting, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is the story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes. . .
The only way to survive is to open your heart.
Gail Honeyman is a graduate of the universities of Glasgow and Oxford. Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine was short-listed for the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize as a work in progress and is Honeyman’s debut novel. She lives in Glasgow, Scotland.
看了很多评论,并且跟身边同样看过这本书(大部分是美国人,提出这一点是因为我在思考是不是有文化差异)的朋友讨论过后,我发现了一个令我惊讶并且有点难以理解的事实:原来大部分人都觉得Eleanor是一个很不讨人喜欢的人,即便是在阅读的过程里,她们也会觉得这个角色本身虽然...
评分两千多年前,儒家学派的开创者之一的孟子就曾经在《离娄章句上》提出了这一告诫:“不以规矩,不能成方圆。”每一个人生来就自然带着一个标签——“社会人”——他的一切言语行为都终究需要下意识地遵循一定的规则,而且规则越完善、越能得到有效的遵循,则社会运行得就越趋于...
5/10. "LOL could go and take a running jump. I wasn't made for illiteracy./The moment hung in time like a drop of honey from a spoon, heavy, golden./Obscenity is the distinguishing hallmark of a sadly limited vocabulary."/說連續第二天餐廳裡像美劇裡的熟客; newly laid egg; 如果可以的話扔進動物園; 沉默間歇像questions crystallising; 和Ove很像 可惜那部電影就沒能喜歡 如果之前知道的話大概不會讀 但只看到說千萬不要被劇透 非我杯茶
评分得承认我是带着“偏见”开始读它的:17年畅销书,而如今出版商市场营销言不符实的原因,读者很多时候不得不调整期望值,尤其是遇到“通俗小说”的时候。 所以意外的,我很喜欢这本书。Oliphant令人印象深刻,从头到底都让我不停地琢磨她,因她社交上的或迟钝或无礼而笑出声,又同时忍不住很想给她一个拥抱。She makes me care. 书涉及的最大的主题:孤独 (其他的: 误解,不懂自己,不懂他人,勇敢 友谊)不是第一次被探讨的。但这本书的魅力在于作者塑造出的主人公,带着很多现代高速社会不宽容的行为,让我们觉得真实的同时也下意识的反思:我有没有犯书里人物的错误,快速地审判他人?而我们的社会是不是也只喜欢接受一个“我很好”的答案? 不会,因为我们还有很多的Elearnor 和 Raymond
评分对这小说嗤之以鼻 直到看完过了几天 发生了一种丧失 一个哲学思考的引子 可如果生命里没这事儿 本书写的方式 并不会主动启发什么
评分R4 read by Tracy Wiles. 许久没读到这么好的书了
评分看这种打着美好孤独生活旗帜的书就是期望作者告诉我们一个人也可以活得好好的,结果所有这样的书都是以拥抱社会为结局 屁哦 一个人生活怎么可能不幸福诶
