Harding's outstanding debut unfurls the history and final thoughts of a dying grandfather surrounded by his family in his New England home. George Washington Crosby repairs clocks for a living and on his deathbed revisits his turbulent childhood as the oldest son of an epileptic smalltime traveling salesman. The descriptions of the father's epilepsy and the cold halo of chemical electricity that encircled him immediately before he was struck by a full seizure are stunning, and the household's sadness permeates the narrative as George returns to more melancholy scenes. The real star is Harding's language, which dazzles whether he's describing the workings of clocks, sensory images of nature, the many engaging side characters who populate the book, or even a short passage on how to build a bird nest. This is an especially gorgeous example of novelistic craftsmanship. (Jan.)

保罗•哈丁,美国作家、音乐家。他少年时代经常“在丛林中游荡”,对大自然有着深切的爱和体悟。后参与创建“Cold Water Flat”乐队,担任鼓手,曾在美国和欧洲巡回演出。他从小酷爱阅读。当读到卡洛斯•富恩特斯的《我们的土地》时,他突然感到“这才是我要做的事”,从此萌发文学创作之念。他的首部小说《修补匠》原本默默无闻,却凭借其厚积薄发的文学内涵获得2010年普利策小说奖。
怎么中译本的评分那样低!难道是翻译得不好。
评分Paul Harding, Cold Water Flat乐队的前任鼓手,Tinkers是他的处女作,2010年获得普利策奖。父与子的故事,敏感却身患癫痫的父亲与同样敏感的儿子的故事,a sad story about how we cope the lost of lights in life and how we strive to carry on.
评分薄薄的一本却用时两个星期才读完。故事本身并不出挑,跳跃式地讲述了三代人的父子关系,情节更谈不上出挑。关键在于作者的叙事风格太有特点了,语言风格极为poetic,充斥了大量对场景、意象的描写。也许因为自己是在嘈杂的地铁上断断续续读的(而tinker很显然是需要耐心的作品),很多段落,尤其是大段大段如同梦呓般的描写让我有点不耐烦,甚至有些厌恶。但不可否认有些地方非常优美,特别是父亲Howard的部分格外动人,或许是因为他的想法自己感同身受吧
评分一直都飘着淡淡的忧伤,结局很好,但不是我的菜。

看这本书,就像在欣赏一幅又一幅黑白老照片,每一个细节都被凝固在时间里,通通透透,纤毫毕现。 这本书又像一部黑白纪录片,用细腻到令人发指的笔触刻画庸常生活每一个琐碎的细部。 所有你愿意看到的,不愿意看到的都在此书毫无保留地一一呈现。作者不遗余...
评分人之将死,思想很复杂怪诞,一些看似毫无关联的东西一起涌上心头。想家庭,思亲人。三代人的生活。老实说如果看电子版我早早的就会放弃这本书。看着挺累的,难理解,可能要等静下来的时候再读。亦或是普利策小说奖也不过如此,还是外国的文化不能理解。有待再次阅读后的感悟。
评分"When it came time to die, we knew and went to deep yards where we lay down and our bones turned to brass. We were picked over. We were used to fix broken clocks, music boxes; our pelvises were fitted onto pinions, our spines soldered into vast works. Our r...

评分No matter what you experience in your life, no matter whether you encounter your love, no matter your life is short or long, what on earth can you find? Especially when you see your last day is taking you away? La vie est rien. La vie est rien.
