Olive Kitteridge might be described by some as a battle axe or as brilliantly pushy, by others as the kindest person they had ever met. Olive herself has always been certain that she is 100% correct about everything - although, lately, her certitude has been shaken. This indomitable character appears at the centre of these narratives that comprise Olive Kitteridge. In each of them, we watch Olive, a retired schoolteacher, as she struggles to make sense of the changes in her life and the lives of those around her - always with brutal honesty, if sometimes painfully. Olive will make you laugh, nod in recognition, as well as wince in pain or shed a tear or two. We meet her stoic husband, bound to her in a marriage both broken and strong, and her own son, tyrannised by Olive's overbearing sensitivities. The reader comes away, amazed by this author's ability to conjure this formidable heroine and her deep humanity that infiltrates every page.

改名庆山之前的安妮宝贝在2011年出过一本文学类杂志,名字叫《大方》,虽然一共只出了两期,但该刊物的编委阵容相当豪华(包括内地学者止庵、香港作家马家辉、台湾出版商叶美瑶等等),文学品位自不用说。 《大方》创刊号上除了一篇村上春树的长篇访谈,让我印象最为深刻的就是...
评分 评分奥丽芙•基特里奇 周鸣之 长久以来,我想象中的奥丽芙总是一副豆芽菜小姐的形象,脑袋圆润,单纯乐观,从无危机意识。因为她知道无论何时,只要她大喊一声“波比”,她那小臂比胳膊还要粗壮的水手老公便会从天而降,仰起脖子咽下一罐菠菜,解救她于一切危难。 大力水手与...
