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.
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.

評分我承认,这本书我只看到第二章第二节——网上能找到的所有部分。赶在现在写出这篇书评,想要试着赚一册签名本。 前天晚上,一个朋友发短信来向我推荐这本耶茨的《复活节游行》,“你一定要去看,这是张爱玲后来想写而未写的小说。”阴暗、压抑,但是因明了而通透。像张爱玲说的...
評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。...
傷感
评分後麵一直在擔心Emily會不會像鬆子一樣慘淡的死去,如果結局真是這樣,對我來說是guilty pleasure。 當Sarah模仿Tony說Shape up來訓誡孩子卻又膽怯的下意識的看他一眼,maybe domestic violence is happening in that house. 當Emily失業,作為白人,大學畢業生她找不到工作,原因是"I am a woman, and I am no longer young. " 當Emily質問Peter時,他說Tony已經盡力做他所有能做的。那為什麼Sarah會遭受傢庭暴力20多年。憤怒是壓抑著的,因為我悲哀的意識到這一切都不是猛烈的。
评分在不斷纍積的期望中一口氣讀完全書,卻發現等待著她們的未來並不會更好,隻會越來越糟。偶爾看到自己的影子。
