Born in 1876, Sherwood Anderson grew up in a small town in Ohio - an experience that was the basis of his greatest achievements as a writer. He served in the Spanish-American War, worked as an advertising man, and managed an Ohio paint factory before abandoning both job and family to embark on a literary career in Chicago. His first novel, Windy McPherson's Son, was published in 1916; his second, Marching Men, a characteristic study of the individual in conflict with industrial society, appeared in 1917. But it is Winesburg, Ohio (1919), with its disillusioned view of small-town lives, that is generally considered his masterpiece. Later novels - Poor White, Many Marriages, and Dark Laughter - continued to depict the spiritual poverty of the machine age. Anderson died in 1941.
This timeless cycle of short stories lays bare the life of a small town in the American Midwest. The central character is George Willard, a young reporter on the Winesburg Eagle to whom, one by one, the town's inhabitans confide their hopes, their dreams, and their fears. The town of friendly but solitary people comes to life as Anderson's special talent exposes the emotional undercurrents that bind its people together. Malcolm Cowley's introduction is a penetrating reappraisal of "the only storyteller of his generation who left a mark on the style and vision of the generation that followed...Hemingway, Faulker, Wolfe, Steinbeck, Caldwell, Saroyan, and Henry Miller...each owes an unmistakable debt to Anderson."
首篇“畸人书”其实已经阐明了为何这些人被称为“畸人”。“使人变成畸人的,便是真理”,“一个人一旦为自己掌握一个真理,称之为他的真理,并且努力依此真理过他的生活时,他便变成畸人,他拥抱的真理便变成虚妄”。 安德森的这部书足够深刻,也足够警醒。所谓自我放逐,只是...
评分一、导言---心灵魔术游戏 二十世纪初叶,当黑塞赫尔曼耽迷于他所创造的自我魔剧院,并在其中将灵魂无情的碎裂为错综复杂、杂乱无章的心灵映像时,舍伍德安德森则于梦境的迷蒙和暗夜天空某种隐秘的召唤下,潜心致力于人性的分割组合。他像一个高超的魔术音乐师,用片断为指挥棒...
评分11月30日 《没有人知道》这个短篇,很简短,写的又是平常的事,读来却自有一股感动的力量。这源于作者对人物性格、心理以及对周遭环境的细致描摹。记得有人说,爱情最美妙、最醉人的时刻,是还没有捅破那层纸的那些时光。这篇小说,写的就是捅破那层纸的小事。我猜想,大概...
评分 评分世上本没有真理,只有各种各样的想法。人们拿许多还不成熟的想法拼啊凑啊,造出了真理。然后真理越来越多,充满了世界的各个角落。所有的真理都很迷人。 翻译是份很亲密的差事。 逐字逐句地耕过去,仿佛用脸贴着原文,一寸一寸地去嗅字里行间的气味。有时角色难以捉摸,有时力...
Seemingly unusual grotesques...Everyone's a freak, in one way or another.
评分看前面几篇还颇受触动,可是越到后来就觉得这样一群固执地沉溺在自己世界里又受不了寂寞的人本就是——活该,连带作者这种细腻忧伤的笔调也让我很、恼、火。
