科马克·麦卡锡,美国小说家和剧作家,代表作有《血色子午线》、《边境三部曲》、《老无所依》、《路》等。他和托马斯·品钦、唐·德里罗、菲利普·罗斯一起被誉为“当代最伟大的美国作家之一”,同时一直是诺贝尔文学奖的热门人选。
"The fulfilled renown of Moby-Dick and of As I Lay Dying is augmented by Blood Meridian, since Cormac McCarthy is the worthy disciple both of Melville and Faulkner," writes esteemed literary scholar Harold Bloom in his Introduction to the Modern Library edition. "I venture that no other living American novelist, not even Pynchon, has given us a book as strong and memorable."
Cormac McCarthy's masterwork, Blood Meridian, chronicles the brutal world of the Texas-Mexico borderlands in the mid-nineteenth century. Its wounded hero, the teenage Kid, must confront the extraordinary violence of the Glanton gang, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians and sell those scalps. Loosely based on fact, the novel represents a genius vision of the historical West, one so fiercely realized that since its initial publication in 1985 the canon of American literature has welcomed Blood Meridian to its shelf.
"A classic American novel of regeneration through violence," declares Michael Herr. "McCarthy can only be compared to our greatest writers."
未读之前,感觉此乃神作,读过一点之后,感觉不过浮云。兴许这书到我手上的时间不对,因此里面的毫无人性的续写,超乎常人想象的书中人物行为和语言,在我看来都太小儿科了。因为,我在读它的同时,重读冯骥才的《一百个人的十年》,感觉这小说虚构的情节,其耸人听闻和恐怖和...
评分这书看到过介绍,哈罗德品特将其和《寂寞芳心小姐》寓为20世纪美国最伟大的几本小说之一,认为它比《我弥留之际》和《拍卖第四十九行》更为重要,更具原创性。之前看过作者的《天下骏马》《传阅》《路》三本,超级喜欢《路》,次之《天下骏马》,被很多人力捧的《穿越》感觉一...
评分说起《血色子午线》的出版,实在一波三折。拿到版权,是2010年初的事,签好翻译合同,是在年中。然后译者出国、生子,拖稿拖稿再拖稿。然后彻底失去联系。直到2012年初,我迫不得已动用微博的强大力量,才把译者从茫茫人海中挖了出来,同时还招致诸多海外同胞的痛斥,说我暴露...
评分《血色子午线》是我读过的第二部麦卡锡的作品,之前读完《长路》后带来的震撼还没有消退,全身的感官和细胞又再次被麦卡锡的这部作品所强烈刺激。不得不承认,《血色子午线》确实是一部很难懂的作品,因为麦卡锡将太多太多的元素融入其中,使得残暴的战争与历史,跟晦涩的哲学...
