在冰冷和绝望的气息中透出一丝温暖给你。
评分读了两个月,终于看完。期间自己经历波折,对于小说中那些深陷麻烦、渴望改变和沟通,却终究无力进行的状态感同身受。the compartment里最后关头退却的失落的父亲,甚至与我真实的生活感受深刻交缠;where I'm calling from是我至今觉得排名第一的短篇,有一种迷人的诗意的但冰冷的绝望;但到了后几篇,居然看到了逐渐播撒正能量的Carver,fever从彻底的伤感到了满满的振作和希望,cathedral更是暗示,这个世界本就是好的。作为读者,也希望能循着这样的转变吧。
评分我累各区。。。我读完的反应。。没了。
评分只读过Cathedral一篇,比起当我们《谈论爱情时我们在谈论什么》中的短篇,这篇小说已经多了不少温存,甚好,Spotify 正在streams一首歌叫to build a home,十分应景。其实看过这么多篇卡佛的小说,印象最深的就是一种亲密关系内的永恒冲突,亲密,是极其危险的
评分真是简约主义,文章简洁到我随手就能写出来,读又全不花力气。但文章却能给人以极大震撼,举重若轻,真是了不起的成就。
Raymond Clevie Carver, Jr. (May 25, 1938 – August 2, 1988) was an American short story writer and poet. Carver is considered a major American writer of the late 20th century and also a major force in the revitalization of the short story in the 1980s.
Carver was born in Clatskanie, Oregon, a mill town on the Columbia River, and grew up in Yakima, Washington. His father, a sawmill worker from Arkansas, was a violent alcoholic. Carver's mother worked on and off as a waitress and a retail clerk. His one brother, James Franklin Carver, was born in 1943.
Carver was educated at local schools in Yakima, Washington. In his spare time he read mostly novels by Mickey Spillane or publications such as Sports Afield and Outdoor Life and hunted and fished with friends and family. After graduating from Yakima High School in 1956, Carver worked with his father at a sawmill in California. In June 1957, aged 19, he married 16-year-old Maryann Burk. She had just graduated from a private Episcopal school for girls. Their daughter, Christine La Rae, was born in December 1957. When their second child, a boy named Vance Lindsay, was born the next year, Carver was 20. Carver supported his family by working as a janitor, sawmill laborer, delivery man, and library assistant. During their marriage, Maryann worked as a waitress, salesperson, administrative assistant, and teacher.
Carver became interested in writing in California, where he had moved with his family because his mother-in-law had a home in Paradise. Carver attended a creative-writing course taught by the novelist John Gardner, who became a mentor and had a major influence on Carver's life and career. Carver continued his studies first at Chico State University and then at Humboldt State College in Arcata, California, where he studied with Richard Cortez Day and received his B.A. in 1963. During this period he was first published and served as editor for Toyon, the university literary magazine, in which he included several of his own pieces under pseudonyms. He later attended the Iowa Writers' Workshop, at the University of Iowa, for one year. Maryann graduated from San Jose State College in 1970 and taught English at Los Altos High School until 1977.
In the mid-1960s Carver and his family lived in Sacramento, where he worked as a night custodian at Mercy Hospital. He sat in on classes at what was then Sacramento State College including workshops with poet Dennis Schmitz. Carver's first book of poems, Near Klamath, was published in 1968 by the English Club of Sacramento State College.
With his appearance in the respected "Foley collection," the impending publication of Near Klamath, and the death of his father, 1967 was a landmark year. That was also the year that he moved his family to Palo Alto, California, so that he could take a job as a textbook editor for Science Research Associates. He worked there until he was fired in 1970 for his inappropriate writing style. In the 1970s and 1980s as his writing career began to take off, Carver taught for several years at universities throughout the United States.
During the years of working in different jobs, rearing children, and trying to write, Carver started to drink heavily and stated that alcohol became such a problem in his life that he more or less gave up and took to full-time drinking. In the fall semester of 1973, Carver was a teacher in the Iowa Writers' Workshop with John Cheever, but Carver stated that they did less teaching than drinking and almost no writing. The next year, after leaving Iowa City, Cheever went to a treatment center to attempt to overcome his alcoholism, but Carver continued drinking for three years. After being hospitalized three times (between June 1976 and February or March 1977), Carver began his 'second life' and stopped drinking on June 2, 1977, with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Carver met the poet Tess Gallagher at a writers' conference in Dallas, Texas in 1978. From May until August, 1979, Carver and Gallagher lived in a borrowed cabin near Port Angeles, in western Washington state. In September, the two moved to Syracuse, where Gallagher had been appointed the Coordinator of the Creative Writing Program at Syracuse University; Carver taught as a professor in the English department. He and Gallagher jointly purchased a house in Syracuse, at 832 Maryland Avenue. In ensuing years, the house became so popular that the couple had to hang a sign outside that read "Writers At Work" in order to be left alone. In 1982, Carver and first wife, Maryann, were divorced.[1] He married Gallagher in 1988 in Reno, Nevada. Six weeks later, on August 2, 1988, Carver died in Port Angeles, Washington, from lung cancer at the age of 50. In the same year, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Raymond Carver is buried at Ocean View Cemetery in Port Angeles, WA.
"Cathedral" is itself a short story written by Carver. It is about a man whose wife is old friends with a blind man. The story shows the husband/narrator's distaste for the blind man who is coming to visit him and his wife for a few days. At times it seems that the man is jealous of the blind man for being so close to his wife; at other times it seems that the husband is disgusted by the man's blindness. In the end they bond in a way through the comunication they share about what a cathedral looks like.
所谓并置,实际上是一种错置,完全私人、主观,来自胡思乱想的一下子。事实上,不管文字、音乐还是绘画或电影,好东西有一个共同点,它一定是有灵性的,是活着的,可以在每一个与之相遇的人心里找到沃土,进而生根开花。比如个人一直觉得博纳尔的画和杜拉斯的文字之间是相通的...
评分 评分上上个周末钱粮胡同的老板娘跟我说,她要在涵芬书楼,译林出版社为《大教堂》办的读者交流会上做嘉宾,让我去。我看了看那张不知道译林哪个少根筋拟定的交流会通稿,上面写着早上十点,运了半天气,才咬着后槽牙答应了。果然,到了那天,除了老板娘自己以外,被我勾引的几个小...
评分就算是卡佛的短篇小说,我也能翻开某篇的前两页,再翻翻它的最后一页。然后仅仅是吃饺子的功夫,就将中间的叙述猜个七七八八。 也许只是几十年中间的一个钟头,也许只是漫长人生中间一个甚至不被主角注意到的小事。只是当某个片断出现之后,你的人生就变得“不同”了。也不是...
评分美国小说家雷蒙德·卡佛大概怎么也不会想到,在他死了这么多年后,在离他那么远的中国,会有一群人正襟危坐钻着牛角尖儿研究他的“极简主义”:为什么用词那样简单,句子如此短小,还有巨大的沉默弥漫其中?哎呀,真是韵味无穷又想不通。在卡佛看来,这事儿特别简单。他穷,工...
