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.

He is regarded as the foremost novelist of the post-WWII Age of Anxiety.
一口气读完,看完除了难受和绝望之外想不出其他的词了。故事从始至终都没有所谓的巨大灾难,两个姐妹的人生就这么不动声色地滑到了日常的悲剧里。真心感觉到每个女性的人生都是一部厚厚的苦难史。
评分对于非常打动人的作品,有时反而不知该说些什么,说句“我爱XXX(作者)”可能就够了。耶茨写出了女性在社会中的困境——不论她们的具体社会处境如何,所面临的也无非是相当有限的可能性:婚姻、生育、生存、两性关系。这哪里是评论者常说的“失败者”,耶茨写的明明是我们自己,是每天出现在生活中的你我她。因真实而常被我们忽略,因真实而触目惊心。
评分Loneliness,misery,unhappiness,suffering. Life is always full of things like that. 看完喘不过气来,这也是why Yates「难读」,因为他写的并不是能搞死人的绝望,而是永恒不变的失落/失望/失败,,
评分掩卷长叹人生之虚无。还是丁尼生说得妙:”Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath / And after many a summer dies the swan. "

美国作家理查德·耶茨(Richard Yates,1926—1992)曾被英国《泰晤士报》称为“被遗忘的最优秀的美国作家”。耶茨是真优秀,也真的被遗忘过。他被认为是“焦虑时代的伟大作家”,有人把他和写“爵士时代”(美国20世纪20年代)的菲茨杰拉德相比,他的影响遍及雷蒙德·卡佛、安...
评分 评分 评分 评分孤独将被永恒地书写着,因为孤独与生俱来,至死方休。这个结论让人很沮丧,不过,话说回来,我们到底为什么,如此害怕孤独? 另一个生而为人,永远难以把握得当的词语是“幸福”,不知道怎样才能得到幸福,而不幸,那么多种多样,每个人都无需着急,必能摊到属于自己的独一份。...
