Set in South Africa under white rule, Doris Lessing's first novel is both a riveting chronicle of human disintegration and a beautifully understated social critique. Mary Turner is a self-confident, independent young woman who becomes the depressed, frustrated wife of an ineffectual, unsuccessful farmer. Little by little the ennui of years on the farm work their slow poison, and Mary's despair progresses until the fateful arrival of an enigmatic and virile black servant, Moses. Locked in anguish, Mary and Moses--master and slave--are trapped in a web of mounting attraction and repulsion. Their psychic tension explodes in an electrifying scene that ends this disturbing tale of racial strife in colonial South Africa.</P>
The Grass Is Singing blends Lessing's imaginative vision with her own vividly remembered early childhood to recreate the quiet horror of a woman's struggle against a ruthless fate.</P>

评分（unpolished random thoughts, 自己备忘用） 这本书里的很多东西后来都在GN里重复出现了，从Lessing行文的细节，一些句子的构造，段落内和段落间的tension到recurring motifs (race/gender/etc., mental illness/dreams as a freudian device, etc.). 作为一部反映“社会现实...
评分文笔一般。纳博科夫记得是在他的文学讲座里说过，一流作家let the course of action reveals itself，而不是显山露水地写悲愁（paraphrase, 非原句）。Domestic female + color clashes的题材屡见不鲜，读的时候常常想起Claire Denis的Chocolat。Denis本人也是在非洲长大，此...

一生也不知自己要什么 被动地生活是自己造成的 加上黑暗的社会背景 人怎么会有出路
评分论文看的。
评分可恨之人必有可怜之处？主题之类的都很好，就是mary对待native的态度的描述这一段跳的太快，一下子变得凶神恶煞让人摸不着头脑。
评分毕业论文的个案小说，很不错
