Each of the nine stories in this beautifully written, intensely intimate collection centers on a transformative moment that alters the delicate balance of power between mother and son, or changes the way they perceive one another. With exquisite grace and eloquence, Tóibín writes of men and women bound by convention, by unspoken emotions, by the stronghold of the past. Many are trapped in lives they would not choose again, if they ever chose at all.
A man buries his mother and converts his grief to desire in one night. A famous singer captivates an audience, yet cannot beguile her own estranged son. And in "A Long Winter," Colm Tóibín's finest piece of cction to date, a young man searches for his mother in the snow-covered mountains where she has sought escape from the husband who controls and confines her.
Winner of numerous awards for his fifth novel, The Master -- including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award -- Tóibín brings to this stunning first collection an acute understanding of human frailty and longing. These are haunting, profoundly moving stories by a writer who is himself a master.
以往由倾心付出、不求回报的母亲和她叛逆乖张却最终浪子回头的儿子所共同演绎的种种经典桥段,恐怕仅仅满足了我们一种简单、板滞的逻辑。这与那些难言又隐幽、宽阔又纤细的母子情感相去甚远。好在爱尔兰作家科尔姆·托宾在他的短片小说集《母与子》中,以近乎聚焦的方式,提供...

评分这是第一次读这样一本短篇集:它每篇都描写相同的人物关系,每篇的结构里,都有一个相似的核心-----母与子情感中的间隔之物。托宾叙事的手法是标准的“意在言外”,而语言又克制节俭,几乎没有无中生有的“起范”式抒情段落,也没有对生活、世界、人性之类的评论总结杂入------...
评分提到爱尔兰,除了民谣和酒你还能想到什么? 没错,那一定是文学了。 这个面积还没有重庆大的国家,有着20世纪最可怕的文学天团,萧伯纳、王尔德、叶芝、乔伊斯、贝克特…… 小C无法想象如果没有这些爱尔兰作家,世界文学将会黯淡多少。 爱尔兰首都被称为“作家之城”,圣三一学...
