Twenty-four years after her first novel, "Housekeeping," Marilynne Robinson returns with an intimate tale of three generations from the Civil War to the twentieth century: a story about fathers and sons and the spiritual battles that still rage at America's heart. Writing in the tradition of Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, Marilynne Robinson's beautiful, spare, and spiritual prose allows "even the faithless reader to feel the possibility of transcendent order" ("Slate"). In the luminous and unforgettable voice of Congregationalist minister John Ames, Gilead reveals the human condition and the often unbearable beauty of an ordinary life.
Her 1980 novel, Housekeeping, won a Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award for best first novel and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
Her second novel, Gilead, was acclaimed by critics and received the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the 2004 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction, and the 2005 Ambassador Book Award.
Her third novel, Home, was published in 2008 and was nominated for both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award; it won the Orange Prize.
1.梦幻之中你充满了现实生活中从来不曾体验的放纵的感情,至于那是怎样的感情并不重要,哪怕是歉疚活着忧虑。你从中认识到,你是怎样一个令人惊异的傀儡——可以这样说——你有怎样的力量去体验你实际上也许永远不需要去做的事情。谁能想到月亮会这样耀眼,辉煌?尽管父亲说出...

评分Marilynne Robinson 真是位传奇作家。这位华盛顿大学的女博士1980年的处女作小说《家事》夺得了海明威基金会奖,并被提名普利策文学奖。二十多年后Robinson才写第二本小说,2004年的《Gilead》势头更健,一举摘取次年普利策文学奖,国家图书评论圈文学奖及图书大使奖。Robinson...
有很多可以深挖的东西,偶尔优美,可还是不好看(总是不好看)
评分An earnest and endearing private testament. On baptism, preaching, justice, disappointment, honor, grace, passion, forgiveness and all the rest senses of beauty&grievance of this mortal life.(pp.129 154 179 204)。推荐一篇文学评论Lynne Hinojosa "John Ames as Historiographer: Pacifism, Racial Reconciliation, and Agape in Marilynne Robinson's Gilead".(R&L47.2)
评分我每天只读一点,生怕太快读完。我读着读着会大声念出来。我会走在公园里想起它的句子。我读完后买了纸本,把它寄给我最感激和敬佩的老师。是的,它关于宗教,关于历史和现在,关于父与子,关于原谅,关于爱,但于我来说,它更关于存在的纯粹意义,和纯粹的Grace。今年读到的最好的,没有之一。
评分Quietly breathtaking.
评分一开始边喜欢上了.
