我实在太喜欢Williams的文笔了,exquisite, 简直我的终极美学目标。完美的小说。
评分2017.9.21~2017.10.16 果不其然是个悲剧。没有一个是圣人,没有一个是坏人,所有角色都有其弱点和优点。这个故事里的人物刻画比STONER里的要立体。阅读的过程中会一直脑补The Revenant里的场景,若拍成电影,应该就是这个样子吧。
评分看到50%的时候就觉得:必须得要死人这故事才算了。
评分挺有意思的一本书,西部生活百科。 看的时候脑子里都是《八恶人》的画面,尤其是那大雪。

JOHN WILLIAMS (1922-1994) was born in Texas. The poet and novelist taught at and received his PhD from the University of Missouri in the early 1950s. In 1955 he became the director of the University of Denver's creative writing program, where he became the editor of the University of Denver Quarterly. He remained at Denver until his retirement in 1986. He was a co-winner of the 1973 National Book Award for Fiction for the novel Augustus, and he is the author of the highly acclaimed novel Stoner.
In his National Book Award winning novel Augustus, John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher's Crossing, his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America.
It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, fired up by Emerson to seek ''an original relation to nature,'' drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher's Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. Butcher's Crossing is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisiacal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher's Crossing to find a world as irremediably changed as they have been.
2016上半年,一部蒙尘五十年的长篇小说《斯通纳》重新出土,一夕间声名鹊起。出版公司做了大张旗鼓的营销和宣传,文艺网站豆瓣也是铺天盖地的传播与评论。该书作者是美国作家约翰·威廉斯,而对我们读者来说,和这本作品一样,这位学者、作家也是一张陌生的面孔。 约翰·威廉...
评分这部小说曾被誉为“最好的西部小说”,不过作者约翰·威廉斯却很不喜欢这一说法,也拒绝因此被贴上“西部文学大师”的标签。当然,他是对的:就像《红楼梦》不应由于主角们都是一群少男少女而被归类为“青春文学”一样,西部仅仅是《屠夫十字镇》故事发生的背景,但小说本身探...
评分文/夏丽柠 约翰•威廉斯的《屠夫十字镇》貌似一本失败之书,却又隐藏希望。作者威廉斯教授,1922年生于美国的德克萨斯,因写作能力优异而到电台和报社工作。二战爆发后,他作为美国空军去印度和缅甸服役。战争接近尾声时,他先去丹佛读大学,又去密苏里大学读博士。1955年,...
