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
【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...
评分不晓得有没有人考证过，炎热的气候会不会让人比较爱唠叨，而寒冷的气候是不是就让人和爱斯基摩人一样地惜字如金、沉默寡言？兴许，是因为闷热潮湿的天气在作怪，让美国南部的小城居民都用劲没处使，染上了爱八卦的毛病，无论好事坏事，一下子就能传遍全城，人人都知道别人在干...
评分如果不假思索，绝大多数人都可能认为天堂就是充分满足感官享受的地方，基本上就是一个想吃啥吃啥，想喝啥喝啥，想看啥看啥，听啥听啥，想怎么睡谁就怎么睡谁的地方。当然境界高点的人可能还会要求证实哥德巴赫猜想什么的，但是对一般人而言，能充分满足感官享受的地方就...
评分If Winesburg Ohio married In Cold Blood , they would probably produce a child like Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil , who bears some resemblance to both parents ,yet definitely has its own distinctive features and worth. If the weirdoes in Winesburg ...

评分去过萨瓦纳之后老板推荐给我 开头和结尾并没有很美妙 中间还是满引人入胜的 一口气在飞机上读了60%+ 貌似第一次看non fiction novel 现实总比小说狗血 这句话用在这再合适不过了
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。
