Also published as E. Annie Proulx
Edna Annie Proulx is an American journalist and author. Her second novel, The Shipping News (1993), won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for fiction in 1994. Her short story "Brokeback Mountain" was adapted as an Academy Award, BAFTA and Golden Globe Award-winning major motion picture released in 2005. Brokeback Mountain received massive critical acclaim and went on to be nominated for a leading eight Academy Awards, winning three of them. (However, the movie did not win Best Picture, a situation with which Proulx made public her disappointment.) She won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction for her first novel, Postcards. She has written most of her stories and books simply as Annie Proulx, but has also used the names E. Annie Proulx and E.A. Proulx.
In this touching and atmospheric novel set among the fishermen of Newfoundland, Proulx tells the story of Quoyle. From all outward appearances, Quoyle has gone through his first 36 years on earth as a big schlump of a loser. He's not attractive, he's not brilliant or witty or talented, and he's not the kind of person who typically assumes the central position in a novel. But Proulx creates a simple and compelling tale of Quoyle's psychological and spiritual growth. Along the way, we get to look in on the maritime beauty of what is probably a disappearing way of life.

很久没有全身心地投入读一本书了,《船讯》是个例外。 花了一周的时间把它读完。这是一个小人物的故事,一个失败的小人物重获新生的故事。听起来仿佛有些乏味,因为我们听过太多这样的故事了。 一开始,我也抱着一种随便看看的态度来读它,可是很快被它深深吸引。每次中途不得...
评分《船讯》中,比利•布莱蒂死去的父亲经常说:每个男人心中都有四个女人。草地上的小姐,魔鬼恋人,勇敢的女人,高个子的文静女人。 他也不知道父亲的话是什么意思。 《船讯》是美国女作家安妮•普鲁的第二部长篇小说,出版于1993年。 安妮•普鲁就是写《断背山》的那个...
评分BBC的World Book Club前不久采访了Annie Proulx,其间讨论了两本书,就是这本《航运新闻》,还有《断背山》。可惜douban现在好象不能共享音频和视频吧? 对书有兴趣的人可以到这个地址去订阅podcast: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/directory/。
评分坊间有些年流行一种文本的创作套路,叫“治愈系小说”,或是“疗伤系小说”。 通常是讲述一个女主或一个男主,经历生活或感情的重创与背叛,选择离开故居,去别处生活,最后获得新生的故事。 小说与电影中都不少见,从疮痍到光鲜,一步步,徒手改变。 有意思的是,通常这些都...
评分这本书吸引我的第一要素,不是其作者的显赫,甚至跟它的内容无关。我的一眼看到它的封面时,就莫明喜欢上了那种感觉--带点清冽,带点冷寂。而这种感觉通常都会使我沉溺。语言的简约不消说,更有趣的是它若干个用巧妙作喻的细节。这种洗练的文字让人非常的舒服。哪怕是最深情的...
为都市人量身打造的归乡疗愈之旅,上有民俗神话和家族传统,下有地貌奇观和生存困境,我总觉太刻意。语言比故事有看头,十分利落的短句、充满灵光的比喻、噼里啪啦的细节,屡有神来之笔。
评分刚在车上看完,然后就一路小跑地回家了,好书就有这样的效果,让人兴奋不已。推荐给有纽芬兰情结的人,也同样推荐不知道纽芬兰是什么的人,要么你看不下去,要么你看后就也想去看看那块神奇的土地
评分what he has was what he pretended.
评分暴雪、巨浪、渔船、被风刮走的房子、简单平凡又坚韧的人。Annie Proulx粗砺的语言和纽芬兰这片神奇的土地融为一体。
评分平静 琐碎 治愈
