The fiery and enigmatic masterpiece--one of the greatest novels of the Modernist era. "Nightwood," Djuna Barnes' strange and sinuous tour de force, "belongs to that small class of books that somehow reflect a time or an epoch" ("TLS"). That time is the period between the two World Wars, and Barnes' novel unfolds in the decadent shadows of Europe's great cities, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna--a world in which the boundaries of class, religion, and sexuality are bold but surprisingly porous. The outsized characters who inhabit this world are some of the most memorable in all of fiction--there is Guido Volkbein, the Wandering Jew and son of a self-proclaimed baron; Robin Vote, the American expatriate who marries him and then engages in a series of affairs, first with Nora Flood and then with Jenny Petherbridge, driving all of her lovers to distraction with her passion for wandering alone in the night; and there is Dr. Matthew-Mighty-Grain-of-Salt-Dante-O'Connor, a transvestite and ostensible gynecologist, whose digressive speeches brim with fury, keen insights, and surprising allusions. Barnes' depiction of these characters and their relationships (Nora says, "A man is another person--a woman is yourself, caught as you turn in panic; on her mouth you kiss your own") has made the novel a landmark of feminist and lesbian literature. Most striking of all is Barnes' unparalleled stylistic innovation, which led T. S. Eliot to proclaim the book "so good a novel that only sensibilities trained on poetry can wholly appreciate it." Now with a new preface by Jeanette Winterson, "Nightwood" still crackles with the same electric charge it had on its first publication in 1936.

读懂Nightwood佷难。个人的词汇、语句结构、知识面、理解力、想象力等等，都受到极大的挑战。此外，还有通篇不时出现的法语。这本书绝对是给高智商有才情的人读的。而且还得是readers of poetry. 当然，一旦读懂这本书，那将是精神世界的无上享受。 Djuna Barnes是一个罕见的优...

評分Well, I was wrong. This book is not really that good as I claimed before。 一个加拿大朋友看了之后，跟我讨论这本书。当然，我只是稍微翻了翻Nightwood,并没有真正读。——因为太难了。 我跟朋友讨论的结果是，作者的词汇量和文笔可真是了不得，古今也就她这个一个特色。...

第一遍，隻看懂瞭一些句子。倒數第二章Nora 和 Doctor的對話，讓我想起瞭《呼嘯山莊》。
评分這個寫的還是有些厲害的，是要多讀幾遍纔能體會的 - 然後纔能承認，naturalism捨棄的好, spatial form不得不用

评分末世氣息，黑暗詩意。幽靈的女人，逡巡於白晝與夜的邊緣，最終迴到瞭無意識的、神秘的獸性荒野——反神聖的升華。女漫遊者們的愛之冒險，足跡迷狂中，一個反世界的世界枝葉蔓生。
