The famous opening line of the novel warns of the bleak narrative to follow, "Neither of the Grimes sisters would have a happy life, and looking back it always seemed that the trouble began with their parents’ divorce." Emily and Sarah Grimes are sisters who share little in terms of character but much in terms of disappointment with their lives. Emily, the more intellectual and cosmopolitan of the two, seeks love in numerous disappointing affairs and short-term relationships while Sarah, the prettier and more conventional sister, marries young and bears children to an uncouth and abusive husband. Their troubled, rootless mother, Pookie, like many Yatesian matriarchs, is likely modeled on his own mother, who was nicknamed "Dookie". The novel, beginning in the 1930s when the sisters are children and ending in the 1970s with Sarah's death, primarily revolves around Emily as the book's central character, though the book employs Yates' characteristic and seamless shifts of consciousness throughout.
Richard Yates (February 3, 1926 – November 7, 1992) was an American novelist and short story writer. He was a chronicler of mid-20th century mainstream American life, often cited as artistically residing somewhere between J.D. Salinger and John Cheever. He is regarded as the foremost novelist of the post-WWII Age of Anxiety.
就算认定了孤独和徒劳 还是会惶恐而感伤 | 太用力和不够用力之间的关系还真是微妙
评分本来以为主题是不婚不育保平安,读完才意识到人生好像只是运气的问题,不是你受到良好教育或外形美丽就一定能被爱,只不过碰巧遇到什么样的人而已。当然也可以自己一个人过,但年轻时可能会有各式各样的dates,成为中年女性后这样的机会就越来越少了吧;如果事业上也差强人意,大概真的会非常孤独吧。讲到这里心生很多切身的恐惧。(第一次读Yates的原作,反而不如以前读他其他作品的中文版时感受到的绝望强烈。可能因为这本比较pov?
评分后面一直在担心Emily会不会像松子一样惨淡的死去,如果结局真是这样,对我来说是guilty pleasure。 当Sarah模仿Tony说Shape up来训诫孩子却又胆怯的下意识的看他一眼,maybe domestic violence is happening in that house. 当Emily失业,作为白人,大学毕业生她找不到工作,原因是"I am a woman, and I am no longer young. " 当Emily质问Peter时,他说Tony已经尽力做他所有能做的。那为什么Sarah会遭受家庭暴力20多年。愤怒是压抑着的,因为我悲哀的意识到这一切都不是猛烈的。
评分好看,讲女性的孤独,Emily自由但孤独,Sarah结婚早,恋爱结婚,老公不争气,一样孤独。

评分校园是她生活的中心。她去巴纳德上学之前,从未听说过“智力的”这个词能用作名词(即intellectual,知识分子),她铭记于心。这是个勇敢的名词,一个自豪的名词,这个名词让人联想到毕生奉献于崇高的事,对凡俗之事抱以冷冷的蔑视。 接着是一段久久的沉默。后来,...
