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.

評分Enjoy life now, even if you think it's shit. Because it can always go shitter.
評分一口氣讀完,看完除瞭難受和絕望之外想不齣其他的詞瞭。故事從始至終都沒有所謂的巨大災難,兩個姐妹的人生就這麼不動聲色地滑到瞭日常的悲劇裏。真心感覺到每個女性的人生都是一部厚厚的苦難史。

理查德·耶茨的姓乍一听像是“Yes”,然而看了他的书,你会发现,他一直在说“No”,对现实进行戏仿、对生活进行善意的嘲讽,像《革命之路》中,明明是怀揣梦想,却一次次被扼杀于现实的冷酷,直至像被猎杀的小鹿再无动弹之力。这种对人生曾雄心勃勃、豪情万丈直至灯尽油枯、一...
評分从去年读过耶茨之后,我就想为他写一篇书评。如果是为杂志稿写耶茨,我肯定会去仔细查一下他的生平。可我现在不想这样。一个作家需要面对的始终只有他的读者,他的小说就是他的一切。作者要退居到作品之后,尽量不被读者发现自己的影子。若我刻意的去接近作者真实的影像,那就...
