具体描述
Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty,early morning hours of May 2, 1981.Was it murder or self-defense?For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares.John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction.Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case.
It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman's Card Club; the turbulent young redneck gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the "soul of pampered self-absorption"; the uproariously funny black drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young blacks dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight.These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, this enormously engaging portrait of a most beguiling Southern city has become a modern classic.

读后感
看完书之后就想，它如何能高居《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜5年之久？虽然中西方人的阅读习惯和审美标准会有差异，但是差异其实远没有大家想想的那么大。而真正优秀的文学作品不管是放在任何地域和环境中都是同样精彩的。 如果说这本书最吸引人眼球的地方，就是“沙凡纳”这个在...

评分【读品】罗豫/文 虽然在现代小说中，真理与谎言、现实与虚幻这些老对头披着彼此的衣服跑来跑去早已不是什么新鲜事，但这本《午夜善恶花园》还是让人吃了一大惊。如果不看前言和介绍，恐怕读到最后一页也弄不清楚，这究竟是一本小说，还是一部关于美国南部小城沙凡纳的纪实报道...
评分这本书我毫不费力的看完了，但是确实对于本书畅销程度不是很理解，个人认为严格的说，这本小说一定程度反应了作者的人生态度和语言环境。读起来其实没有感觉到更深的悬疑逻辑，其实是对沙凡纳这座城市所体现的生活氛围的一种诠释，在描述中自然得让读者领略到生活中的不羁与人...
评分尽管在《午夜善恶花园》一书前言的开头部分作者约翰·伯兰特就提醒读者“这本书的确是一部非虚构作品，所有的人物和他们的故事都是真实的”，读者难免还是会将这段表白视作狡猾作者的一种文字游戏，并不当真，仍然抱着读小说的心态读下去。但是，这本书越往后读越让人生出拿起...
用户评价
开始读!据说读完会爱上Savannah!
评分逼格极高的pure gossip。有人可能认为这本书的成功源于Savannah这地方太特殊，又碰巧遇到一班超有料的cast，谋杀案就更是锦上添花。我倒觉得不管在哪个城市哪个小镇，只要挖的够深，都能掘出个jim williams、danny hansford、chablis。
评分The ordinary became extraordinary. Eccentrics thrived. Every nuance and quirk of personality achieved greater brilliance in that lush enclosure than would have been possible anywhere else in the world.
评分02/28/2017 P 倒不能说多有意思，可是对于萨凡纳小城的描写确实对旅行大有裨益。
