Cassandra Edwards is a graduate student at Berkeley: gay, brilliant, nerve-wracked, miserable. At the beginning of this novel, she drives back to her family ranch in the foothills of the Sierras to attend the wedding of her identical twin, Judith, to a nice young doctor from Connecticut. Cassandra, however, is hell-bent on sabotaging the wedding.
Dorothy Baker's entrancing tragicomic novella follows an unpredictable course of events in which her heroine appears variously as conniving, self-aware, pitiful, frenzied, absurd, and heartbroken—at once utterly impossible and tremendously sympathetic. Cassandra reckons with her complicated feelings about the sister who she feels owes it to her to be her alter ego; with her father, a brandy-soaked retired professor of philosophy; and with the ghost of her dead mother, as she struggles to come to terms with the only life she has.
First published in 1962, Cassandra at the Wedding is a book of enduring freshness, insight, and verve. Like the fiction of Jeffrey Eugenides and Jhumpa Lahiri, it is the work of a master stylist with a profound understanding of the complexities of the heart and mind.
震驚於這是一部發錶於60s的小說,讀起來毫無時代的違和感,它的語言、故事、氛圍都絲毫沒有古舊感。非常喜歡小說的結尾,場景的描寫讓我有種置身其中的夢幻感。前半部分,讓我以為終於看到瞭一部傢庭關係和諧的小說,沒想到,當人的關係從疏離的一端滑嚮親密的一端時,同樣也會問題重重。人與人太遠瞭,是孤獨,太近瞭,亦是孤獨。為何?無解?
