想像卡佛工作一天後伏在廚房的桌上寫短篇,窗外可能颳風下雪春夏鞦鼕,而在這屋子內,卡佛終於有瞭一刻自己的空間。所以即使沒有海明威式的異國經驗或作傢的咖啡館,卡佛並不消極。
評分有些很喜歡,個彆沒看懂,還有一篇實在看不下去。我不喜歡他的題材,也不喜歡他的寫法。這大約是我個人的問題。
評分“Raymond Carver's America is helpless, clouded by pain and the loss of dreams, but it is not as fragile as it looks. It is a place of survivors and a place of stories." "Carver not only enchants, he convinces."
評分隻讀過封麵故事,在美國文學史裏讀到的?記不清瞭。總之是一個莫名其妙的故事。
評分以前低估瞭卡佛的小說,這次很慢很慢地讀他的小說,突然有好幾篇就打動瞭我。《Viewfinder》、《Sacks》、《The Bath》等等。從他的小說,你會想到身邊的人,甚至就是你自己。這麼想著,再看自己的生活,處處是小說。但是,從另一麵看,他的小說又缺乏多樣性,更缺乏一種危險的氣息。
Carver was born into a poverty-stricken family at the tail-end of the Depression. The son of a violent alcoholic, he married at 19, started a series of menial jobs and his own career of 'full-time drinking as a serious pursuit'. A career that would eventually kill him. Constantly struggling to support his wife and family Carver enrolled in a writing programme under author John Gardner in 1958 and he saw this as a turning point.
Rejecting the more experimental fiction of the 60s and 70s, he pioneered a precisionist realism reinventing the American short story during the eighties, heading the line of so-called 'dirty realists' or 'K-mart realists'. Set in trailer parks and shopping malls they are stories of banal lives that turn on a seeminlgy insignificant detail. Carver writes with meticulous economy suddenly bringing a life into focus in a similar way to the paintings of Edward Hopper. As well as a master of the short story he was an accomplished poet publishing several highly acclaimed volumes.
After the 'line of demarcation' in Carver's life - 2 June 1977, the day he stopped drinking - his stories become increasingly more redemptive and expansive. Alcohol had eventually shattered his health, his work and his family - his first marriage effectively ending in 1978. He finally married his long-term parter Tess Gallagher (they met ten years earlier at a writers' conference in Dallas) in Reno less than two months before he eventually lost his fight with cancer.
In his second collection of stories, as in his first, Carver's characters are peripheral people--people without education, insight or prospects, people too unimaginative to even give up. Carver celebrates these men and women.
买了本原版的卡佛作品集,试着有空做翻译练习。想有个对照,于是买了这本小二翻译的《当我们谈论爱情时我们在谈论什么》。看了三篇,可以判断这本翻译相当糟糕,想不明白译林出版社是怎么审核就让这书出版的。我自己不是什么高手,但不是高手的人也可以看出别人糟糕的地方。这...
評分这本书是Norman Denzin在他的Advanced Interpretive Method课上推荐的教材之一。Denzin想通过让我们阅读卡佛,来让我们体会只performance writing,就是只描写人物所能看见和感知到的东西而并不写他们的内心活动。这是我们学习Denzin所倡导的performance writing的导引。看过这...
評分昏睡2个多小时后,我醒过来,脑子里的第一个念头竟然是:卡佛的小说并没有灰暗到那个程度。 听了一整天的竞聘演讲,任谁都是要昏昏欲睡的。我在现场却怎么也无法睡着。回家吃过饭后,便径直和衣躺倒床上。 我在竞聘者或慷慨激昂或害羞紧张或不知所云的发言中埋头看完《当我们...
評分长篇或中篇小说中总会透露给人种种时代印记、作者寓意的信息,而当面对一篇篇短小精悍的短篇小说时,好像应该谈论些什么,又好像什么都不用谈论只能支吾着:“你看吧,反正是一本不错的小说。” “隐喻”、“新小说”、“寓言式”这一系列的词显得既强加阐释又像是废话...
評分“在艺术中,简洁并非是预定的目的,但是当一个人接近事物的本质时,总会不可避免地到达这一点。”用这段话来评价我心中的卡佛丝毫不为过。天朝的大多语文老师总是在课堂上歇斯底里地大喊文字要美,但遗憾的是他们心中的美其实是丑陋的。学生作文中充斥着大量浮夸的比喻句...
