LONGLISTED FOR THE 2018 MAN BOOKER PRIZE A wondrous and wise coming-of-age love story from the celebrated author of Conversations with Friends At school Connell and Marianne pretend not to know each other. He’s popular and well-adjusted, star of the school football team, while she is lonely, proud and intensely private. But when Connell comes to pick his mother up from her job at Marianne’s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers—one they are determined to conceal. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other. Sally Rooney brings her brilliant psychological acuity and perfectly spare prose to a story that explores the subtleties of class, the electricity of first love, and the complex entanglements of family and friendship.
Sally Rooney was born in 1991 and lives in Dublin. Her work has appeared in the New Yorker, Granta, The White Review, The Dublin Review, The Stinging Fly, Kevin Barry's Stonecutter and The Winter Page anthology. Her debut novel, Conversations with Friends, was the most popular debut in the 2017 end-of-year round-ups. Rooney was shortlisted for the Sunday Times EFG Short Story Award for 'Mr Salary' and was the winner of the Sunday Times/PFD Young Writer of the Year Award.
The novel is basically about on-off relationships of young adults. It’s a bit annoying to see the main characters going from one toxic relationship to another repeatedly without learning any lesson. I expected more. I expected them to grow, learn and recla...
评分 评分 评分今天抄《Conversations with Friends》笔记的时候,再次发现这两本书的相似度极高,虽然Sally Rooney只写了两本书,但像我之前说过的,里面有很多体现作者本人characteristic的东西。然而normal people这本我抄的不多。但是两本书有地方在本质上相当一致,同时这也是sally在书...
实在无法理解Sally在年轻一代作家中是如何蜚声国际的…到底是哪些人在吹彩虹屁…小说女主人公的设定是非normal people,全程看下来,没觉得她哪里不正常了,如果放到欧美人个性谱系里,更是不要太正常。即便要写不正常的人,她的功力跟ottessa比差太远了,ottessa都没火爆文坛,怎么sally就先成爆款了?故事读完,唯一的触动是,年轻人每天与酒和X相伴,真的好开心。

评分动人的小书,让你恋爱完以后想起来,除了爱情以外,除了成长以外,还有力量角力这件事。
