托妮•莫裏森(Toni Morrison)
美國著名女作傢。1931年生於俄亥俄州,曾在蘭登書屋擔任高級編輯,後赴普林斯頓大學等校任教。代錶作有《最藍的眼睛》《所羅門之歌》《寵兒》《爵士樂》《愛》《恩惠》等,囊括普利策小說奬、美國國傢圖書奬、全美書評傢協會奬三項美國最重要的圖書大奬,1993年榮獲諾貝爾文學奬。
Toni Morrison's first novel, The Bluest Eye (1970), was acclaimed as the work of an important talent, written--as John Leonard said in The New York Times --in a prose "so precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry."
Sula has the same power, the same beauty.
At its center--a friendship between two women, a friendship whose intensity first sustains, then injures. Sula and Nel--both black, both smart, both poor, raised in a small Ohio town--meet when they are twelve, wishbone thin and dreaming of princes.
Through their girlhood years they share everything--perceptions, judgments, yearnings, secrets, even crime--until Sula gets out, out of the Bottom, the hilltop neighborhood where beneath the sporting life of the men hanging around the place in headrags and soft felt hats there hides a fierce resentment at failed crops, lost jobs, thieving insurance men, bug-ridden flour...at the invisible line that cannot be overstepped.
Sula leaps it and roams the cities of America for ten years. Then she returns to the town, to her friend. But Nel is a wife now, settled with her man and her three children. She belongs. She accommodates to the Bottom, where you avoid the hand of God by getting in it, by staying upright, helping out at church suppers, asking after folks--where you deal with evil by surviving it.
Not Sula. As willing to feel pain as to give pain, she can never accommodate. Nel can't understand her any more, and the others never did. Sula scares them. Mention her now, and they recall that she put her grandma in an old folks' home (the old lady who let a train take her leg for the insurance)...that a child drowned in the river years ago...that there was a plague of robins when she first returned...
In clear, dark, resonant language, Toni Morrison brilliantly evokes not only a bond between two lives, but the harsh, loveless, ultimately mad world in which that bond is destroyed, the world of the Bottom and its people, through forty years, up to the time of their bewildered realization that even more than they feared Sula, their pariah, they needed her.
看贫苦地区作家的作品,总会惊异于他们所描述的神秘主义氛围,比如拉美作家、中东作家、中国农村作家以及黑人作家,比如加西亚 马尔克斯,比如卡勒德 胡塞尼,比如莫言,比如托尼 莫里森。 托尼 莫里森是第一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的黑人作家,我看黑人作品很少,但是对于她的这...

評分真实、自我、天赋、想象力、勇气....如果不在合适的环境,到底是幸运还是诅咒? 一些摘录: 有了她,他就是一家之主,只是出于必要才对,拴在一份令人不满意的工作上。 被外人看作懒散邋遢甚至是慷慨的习性,实际上都是对不良力量存在的合理性的全面认可。 她好久都没有像这样...
