托妮•莫里森(Toni Morrison)
美国著名女作家。1931年生于俄亥俄州,曾在兰登书屋担任高级编辑,后赴普林斯顿大学等校任教。代表作有《最蓝的眼睛》《所罗门之歌》《宠儿》《爵士乐》《爱》《恩惠》等,囊括普利策小说奖、美国国家图书奖、全美书评家协会奖三项美国最重要的图书大奖,1993年荣获诺贝尔文学奖。
Toni Morrison's first novel, The Bluest Eye (1970), was acclaimed as the work of an important talent, written--as John Leonard said in The New York Times--in a prose "so precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry."
Her new novel has the same power, the same beauty.
At its center--a friendship between two women, a friendship whose intensity first sustains, then injures. Sula and Nel--both black, both smart, both poor, raised in a small Ohio town--meet when they are twelve, wishbone thin and dreaming of princes.
Through their girlhood years they share everything--perceptions, judgments, yearnings, secrets, even crime--until Sula gets out, out of the Bottom, the hilltop neighborhood where beneath the sporting life of the men hanging around the place in headrags and soft felt hats there hides a fierce resentment at failed crops, lost jobs, thieving insurance men, bug-ridden flour...at the invisible line that cannot be overstepped.
Sula leaps it and roams the cities of America for ten years. Then she returns to the town, to her friend. But Nel is a wife now, settled with her man and her three children. She belongs. She accommodates to the Bottom, where you avoid the hand of God by getting in it, by staying upright, helping out at church suppers, asking after folks--where you deal with evil by surviving it.
Not Sula. As willing to feel pain as to give pain, she can never accommodate. Nel can't understand her any more, and the others never did. Sula scares them. Mention her now, and they recall that she put her grandma in an old folks' home (the old lady who let a train take her leg for the insurance)...that a child drowned in the river years ago...that there was a plague of robins when she first returned...
In clear, dark, resonant language, Toni Morrison brilliantly evokes not only a bond between two lives, but the harsh, loveless, ultimately mad world in which that bond is destroyed, the world of the Bottom and its people, through forty years, up to the time of their bewildered realization that even more than they feared Sula, their pariah, they needed her.
真实、自我、天赋、想象力、勇气....如果不在合适的环境,到底是幸运还是诅咒? 一些摘录: 有了她,他就是一家之主,只是出于必要才对,拴在一份令人不满意的工作上。 被外人看作懒散邋遢甚至是慷慨的习性,实际上都是对不良力量存在的合理性的全面认可。 她好久都没有像这样...
评分 评分《秀拉》 ——托妮·莫里森 “唯一的准则,是全心投入,是无视恐惧,不怕被人伤害、揭短,或羞辱。人会后悔的只有一件事,便是活得不够勇敢。” (英国诗人泰德·休斯) 或许,每个高傲的人,内心深处都有一些不为人知的脆弱,一旦遇到正确的人,那些脆弱就会变成裂痕,形成道路...
评分秀拉睡了唯一的闺蜜奈尔的丈夫,闺蜜绝交。秀拉去世后,奈尔突然意识到,她一直想念的原来不是丈夫,而是秀拉。如果这样概括《秀拉》,肯定是极端表面化和过于轻佻了。 《秀拉》除引子无名外,其余章节均以年份命名,时间线一目了然,时间跨度一目了然。小说故事始于1919年,止...
