TRUMAN CAPOTE was born September 30, 1924, in New Orleans. After his parents’ divorce, he was sent to live with relatives in Monroeville, Alabama. It was here he would meet his lifelong friend, the author Harper Lee. With the 1948 publication of Other Voices, Other Rooms, Capote was catapulted onto the international literary scene and for nearly four decades was a fixture in New York literati and high society circles. Twice awarded the O. Henry Short Story Prize, Capote was also the recipient of a National Institute of Arts and Letters Creative Writing Award and an Edgar Award. Among his many celebrated works are the short-story collection The Grass Harp, the novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the memoirs A Christmas Memory and The Thanksgiving Visitor, and the true-crime masterpiece In Cold Blood. Capote died in 1984, just weeks shy of his sixtieth birthday.
Truman Capote’s first novel is a story of almost supernatural intensity and inventiveness, an audacious foray into the mind of a sensitive boy as he seeks out the grown-up enigmas of love and death in the ghostly landscape of the deep South.
At the age of twelve, Joel Knox is summoned to meet the father who abandoned him at birth. But when Joel arrives at the decaying mansion in Skully’s Landing, his father is nowhere in sight. What he finds instead is a sullen stepmother who delights in killing birds; an uncle with the face—and heart—of a debauched child; and a fearsome little girl named Idabel who may offer him the closest thing he has ever known to love.
有些人好像天生就具有文学性,比如杜鲁门.卡波特:他首先有个不快乐的童年,然后少年成名,出入富贵圈,然后又被无情地一脚踢出。这样的人生,可以写很多本自传,或者自传体小说。《别的声音》,《别的房间》是他的处女作,但他一直否认这是一部自传体小说,直到小说出版20年后...
評分但愿他能够逃离。 这是在看别的声音 别的房间时一直萦绕在我脑海中的短句。13岁的少年乔尔,天使的面容懵懂混沌的内心,失去相依为命的母亲,投奔杳无音信的父亲。 整个故事将真实用荒诞的白描一一还原升华。乔尔离开原来生长的环境满怀欣喜开启这一场奔赴,而结局是现实扣...
評分让我想起萨冈的你好,忧愁,同样的年轻,同样的毋庸置疑的跳跃和轻浮,有些说不清道不明的澎湃和厌倦,一边拿出全部证明着自己,却随时转身一去不返的娇纵样子。 也让我想起某个黄金时代,那时,我们还热衷于向身边人冲动地描述所看到的一切。“两个成年男人站在一间丑陋的小屋...
評分读这本小说,如同透过一只万花筒看向一个小男孩的内心,沿着他绮丽炫异的想象,走进充满声音和色彩的世界。有些小说的可贵之处在于,它提供给你一个自由而阔亮的想象空间。 不断下沉的房子、不断往上长的疯草、不断变幻闪烁的光与影……越接近小说的尾声,越是一切声音一切幻...
評分如果非要说严肃的文学创作与喧嚣的名利场是鱼和熊掌般相悖的两个世界,那杜鲁门•卡波特一定最有资格来证明这种说法的谬误:既不乏振聋发聩的文学作品,又在周身贴满光鲜夺目的名流标签,卡波特成为了美国上世纪60年代游曳在这两个世界最著名的幽灵。 卡波特最为大家熟知的...
很喜歡Randolf這個角色 ; "what are most lives but a series of incomplete episodes? 'we work in the dark, we do what we can, we give what we have. Out doubt is our passion, our passion is our task...'"
评分有好多詩意又美妙的語句,但沒有像書麵簡介中說的什麼intense好不好!!!還有書中一個角色的原型是To Kill a Mockingbird的作者
