Milkman Dead was born shortly after a neighborhood eccentric hurled himself off a rooftop in a vain attempt at flight. For the rest of his life he, too, will be trying to fly. With this brilliantly imagined novel, Toni Morrison transfigures the coming-of-age story as audaciously as Saul Bellow or Gabriel García Márquez. As she follows Milkman from his rustbelt city to the place of his family’s origins, Morrison introduces an entire cast of strivers and seeresses, liars and assassins, the inhabitants of a fully realized black world.

评分说不出的震撼。本以为这是简单的种族文学,但这远远超出种族这个话题。milkman的成长,曾祖父飞走的魔幻现实主义,一切都印刻着历史的痕迹,深沉而又悠远。它给我一种迷雾的感觉,恍惚中抓住一丝影子,但浓雾后的一切却有待探索
评分Just like Beloved, this novel again drove me to a mixture of grief, sympathy and tenderness. It's a story about roots and links. With original names thrown and family separated, colored people lost partly their identity. It's significant to know, to remember, to complete themselves, so that they could gain the strength to ride the air and fly home.
评分我的《圣经》。我的派拉特。我的名字。我的人生。我的群山。我的根。
