great style, deeply affecting (in an austere sort of way, true to its period), can't be praised more
评分怎么说呢。人物本身真实故事之精彩,超过了小说家的虚构能力。情节依靠史料,细节有虚构,无甚出奇之处。多视角写法和材料剪裁很好。总体中规中矩吧
评分On top of the world, he is alone。历史小说的典范,Williams用日记体形式大概是更容易深入人物内心
评分为Williams打call
评分William的书真的太好看了,文笔好到引人入胜。太空虚了
John Williams (1922–1994) was born and raised in northeast Texas. Despite a talent for writing and acting, Williams flunked out of a local junior college after his first year. He reluctantly joined the war effort, enlisting in the Army Air Corps, and managed to write a draft of his first novel while there. Once home, Williams found a small publisher for the novel and enrolled at the University of Denver, where he was eventually to receive both his B.A. and M.A., and where he was to return as an instructor in 1954.
He remained on the staff of the creative writing program at the University of Denver until his retirement in 1985. During these years, he was an active guest lecturer and writer, editing an anthology of English Renaissance poetry and publishing two volumes of his own poems, as well as three novels, Butcher’s Crossing, Stoner, and the National Book Award–winning Augustus (all published as NYRB Classics).
Daniel Mendelsohn was born in 1960 and studied classics at the University of Virginia and at Princeton, where he received his doctorate. His essays and reviews appear regularly in The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, and The New York Times Book Review. His books include The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million; a memoir, The Elusive Embrace; and the collection Waiting for the Barbarians: Essays from the Classics to Pop Culture, published by New York Review Books. He teaches at Bard College. His essay in the September 25, 2014 issue will appear as the introduction to a new translation of The Bacchae by Robin Robertson, to be published in September by Ecco.
In Augustus, his third great novel, John Williams took on an entirely new challenge, a historical narrative set in classical Rome, exploring the life of the founder of the Roman Empire. To tell the story, Williams turned to the epistolary novel, a genre that was new to him, transforming and transcending it just as he did the western in Butcher’s Crossing and the campus novel in Stoner. Augustus is the final triumph of a writer who has come to be recognized around the world as an American master.
我们都希望自己读到的历史就是事实,但其实绝大多数(甚至可以说是全部)历史书都不可能是全部事实,历史就是由一系列无法还原的事实构成的,所以历史在我心里,就是一系列的故事,也因此,我不太喜欢有人批评一部“史书”是胡诌之类的,当然如果作者能说明哪些材料是引用,哪...
评分by 谷立立 约翰·威廉斯的一生贯穿着同一个关键词:拒绝。终其一生,他拒绝被定义、被归类,拒绝成为公众瞩目的文化明星,拒绝循规蹈矩地做传道授业的文学教授,只愿我行我素、我手写我心地诠释一位真正作家的本色。这倒不是说他一生庸庸碌碌、无所作为。事实上,他在文学上的...
评分约翰·威廉斯,1994年去世的美国作家,随着2012年左右那本《斯通纳》在全球范围内的再度畅销,而被很多读者熟知。到了2018年,他的中译本终于出到了第三本——讲述屋大维·凯撒的《奥古斯都》。 他对我而言是非常独特的一位作家,因为我总是一口气读完了他的小说,用废寝忘食来...
评分美国作家约翰·威廉斯1922年出生于德克萨斯州,两年的兵役期结束后,终其一生都在大学任教。他出版过四本小说(《唯有黑夜》《屠夫十字镇》《斯通纳》《奥古斯都》),留下一部未竟之作《理性的沉睡》。作为小说家,他的经历平稳而安全,研究的是小说,写作的是小说,最后以教...
