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."
我得到的是震撼的效果,就像家门前突然有个美不胜收的雕塑,,她是一个女作家,一个让我萌生爱意的女作家,为了她也许我会抛弃爱妻和誓言。很喜欢她的作品,有时间会再读她的其他作品。我徘徊在她的语境中,就像置于密林,时而有绿眼的狼群在奔跑,时而有婆娑的树影让我思索,...
评分没有序言,没有后记,这是作家出版社的典型风格,原来曾有一批“作家参考丛书”就是这样,不是为普通读者消遣所用。 上周出门前将这本书放到背包内,在飞往美国的飞机上读了一遍,在一周后飞回时又读了一遍。如果不是这样的机会,也不会在一周内读上二遍,否则也不能品出它的...

评分作者的语言给人的感觉就是阴沉,阴沉到呼吸和心跳都放缓了,阴沉到周围的一切都恍惚了,阴沉到似乎世界都静止了。读了会被作者的语言深深地感染着,深陷在主人公的情绪中无法自拔。 《聚会》作者叙述的方式与其说是敞开心扉式的,不如说是透骨式的。像X光片,没有丝毫掩饰和包...
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ravishingly painful & disturbingly good.
评分ravishingly painful & disturbingly good.
评分还可以
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。
