The Gathering is a novel by the Irish author Anne Enright. It is Enright's fourth book. It won the 2007 Man Booker Prize. It had been an outsider to win the prize, but was eventually chosen unanimously.
The novel is a saga about an Irish family set in Ireland and England.It begins with the suicide of Liam Hegarty. His family gather in Dublin for his wake. Liam's sister Veronica, the novel's narrator, looks through her family's history to try and make sense of his death. In the process she uncovers uncomfortable truths about her family. Enright described the book as "...the intellectual equivalent of a Hollywood weepie."
得到这本书纯数是个偶然,办事途中经过学校附近的一家二手书屋,居然发现角落里堆着像A Thousand Splendid Suns,The Time Traveller's Wife这样的原版书,不容易的呢,而且价格才十几块钱,不过垃圾书也不少,我翻了半天挑中了这本零七年的布克奖作品,本意也无非是拿回去压箱...
评分 评分不敢说我看懂了这本书,但我却真的努力去看,去弄明白:这是怎样一个故事?主人公到底想说什么? 英国人的思维很有特点,很直白,到了粗暴的地步。经常让人措手不及吓一跳。但却又让人不得不佩服他的深刻。家的温情(如果说还有的话)隐隐显现在无情之中,需要人们去找。
评分这还是我第一次读到爱尔兰作家的作品,自然是抱着一种新鲜感开卷的。平时接触的西方文学中,如果说英国文学,那是十分熟悉的,然而对于爱尔兰,却只有一个模糊的印象。而要想真正深刻的理解一个作家的作品,他身上的民族烙印、生活经历又是不可忽视的。 《聚会》...
评分还可以
评分A dark and fragmentary record about family, past trauma and death; the book is about delving into the dark past and seeking reconciliation with it. It's sanity and madness, devastation and redemption, opening a wound and healing it all at the same time.It's a rich book. I have to confess that much of its content is beyond my understanding.
评分怪就怪你不该那样美。 孤独。
评分这本在Goodreads上有一万多的平均只有三星的作品在豆瓣上确大受好评。听了三分之一,弃之。感觉有点太散漫了。说直白一些,就是没有写到我的心上。
评分ravishingly painful & disturbingly good.
