Colson Whitehead is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Underground Railroad, winner of the 2016 National Book Award, and named one of the Ten Best Books of the Year by the New York Times Book Review, as well as The Noble Hustle, Zone One, Sag Harbor, The Intuitionist, John Henry Days, Apex Hides the Hurt, and The Colossus of New York.

Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is hellish for all slaves, but Cora is an outcast even among her fellow Africans, and she is coming into womanhood; even greater pain awaits. Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her of the Underground Railroad and they plot their escape. Like Gulliver, Cora encounters different worlds on each leg of her journey.
Whitehead brilliantly recreates the unique terrors of black life in pre-Civil War America. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.
图、文/文小妖 逃出来,活下去。这是看美国黑人作家科尔森·怀特黑德的小说《地下铁道》时,给我的最初步的感受。 小说围绕着黑奴少女科拉几次三番逃出南方蓄奴州佐治亚,寻求自由而展开。小说里并没有交代故事发生的具体的时间,但随着情节的推入,读者很容易就能从中获悉历史...
评分说来惭愧,我是一个“擅长”逃避的人。当少年时的好奇心褪去后,我厌恶阅读那些陈述惨痛的文字。二十年动乱,春夏之交,这些我都不再读了。我告诉自己,那些苦难都是大同小异,我都已经知道了,不必再说。不要再说了。 1、 风暴降生与星辰陨落 一直以来,我们这代年轻人有一种...
评分作者:董子琪 科尔森·怀特黑德住在纽约,但不爱出门,用他自己的话说,属于“shut-ins”一族,翻译成中文就是“宅”的意思。他整日待在纽约的公寓中,从上午10点写作到下午3点,一天能完成两三页的内容,之后就陪陪家人、逗逗孩子。他并不每天都写作,如果一周可以写八页,工...
评分# 一 有关美国南方奴隶生活的小说自然不少,单纯地叙述黑人逃亡的作品也很多。这本《地下铁道》能够脱颖而出,成为新世纪第一本美国国家图书奖和普利策奖的双料冠军,它的实力自然不消多说。它最大的成功,就在于塑造了一批鲜活的人物形象,它并没有局限于人物的肤色,就俗套的...
评分Reading is such a personal choice. With all the hype and big name prizes, I don’t feel emotionally connected with the characters. The book is beautifully written and the storyline is fine.
评分"And America, too, is a delusion, the grandest one of all."
评分“人生终需一次妄想,带领我们去那从未到过的地方”,中文版的封面语相当贴切了。
评分看一段就要缓一缓。因为学过美国历史,也就对里面很多historical background更加敏感。真的太好看了想重新去补美国历史了。
评分政治意义大于文学价值,不过读过了也算是了解长期被美化的美国历史
