真的不是很好的一本。情節過渡生硬,像是由不同的闆塊拼接而成,寫作痕跡明顯。不知道作者65年改寫結局是齣於什麼目的,也說不清到底是哪個結局更sensational。這本在同性文學史上的地位可能真的就是時代意義瞭吧。
評分love and death.最初版本的結局我很喜歡,初戀果然都很難忘麼?????
評分Powerful book. Powerful ending. Gay Canon的鼻祖,What a brave choice and noble work !
評分行文簡潔,讀起來非常流暢。和我國現在的LGBT類小說調調很像(落後瞭70年,或許還不止????),但更剋製,也更綿長。需要電子版的書友,請豆郵!
評分小說的曆史意義確實很重要。Wikipedia上說這是二戰後第一部正麵 [非負麵] 描寫男同性戀而且不以主角被處死而結尾的小說。詞句樸實不華麗,情節也簡單不煽情。結尾感覺有點刻意有點牽強,整個故事波瀾不驚,但讀起來也還是很舒服。
A literary cause célèbre when first published more than fifty years ago, Gore Vidal’s now-classic The City and the Pillar stands as a landmark novel of the gay experience.
Jim, a handsome, all-American athlete, has always been shy around girls. But when he and his best friend, Bob, partake in “awful kid stuff,” the experience forms Jim’s ideal of spiritual completion. Defying his parents’ expectations, Jim strikes out on his own, hoping to find Bob and rekindle their amorous friendship. Along the way he struggles with what he feels is his unique bond with Bob and with his persistent attraction to other men. Upon finally encountering Bob years later, the force of his hopes for a life together leads to a devastating climax. The first novel of its kind to appear on the American literary landscape, The City and the Pillar remains a forthright and uncompromising portrayal of sexual relationships between men.
I first learned about this book when I was perusing an academic essay written by a famous English professor from Mainland, published in a very authoritative journal-a bold move indeed even in 2012. Although I am never much of a fervent researcher deeply int...
