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.
在去德裏的飛機上一口氣讀完。The best novel I've read in a long long time. 驚心。兩姐妹孤獨自私懦弱不知道自己要什麼。像你我一樣。
評分後麵一直在擔心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。
評分Loneliness,misery,unhappiness,suffering. Life is always full of things like that. 看完喘不過氣來,這也是why Yates「難讀」,因為他寫的並不是能搞死人的絕望,而是永恒不變的失落/失望/失敗,,

評分好看,講女性的孤獨,Emily自由但孤獨,Sarah結婚早,戀愛結婚,老公不爭氣,一樣孤獨。

評分 評分 評分耶茨总爱写这样的女文青:受过一定的教育,想成为知识分子或艺术家却始终未能如愿,又因为不甘于普通人的生活和感情而经历诸多情感和家庭上的不幸。 例如《革命之路》中的April,这种女的总给人“做”的感觉。中产阶级的郊区生活怎么就令她窒息了?作为丈夫的杰克,就算无功,...
評分“如果说我的作品有一个主题,我怀疑这个主题并不复杂,那就是绝大多数人都生活在一种无法逃避的孤独中,他们的悲剧也在此。” ————理查德·耶茨 “福楼拜以来,少有人对那些生活得苦不...
