Fredrik Backman is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels A Man Called Ove, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, and Britt-Marie Was Here, as well as a novella, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer. His books are being published around the world in more than thirty-five languages. He lives in Stockholm, Sweden, with his wife and two children.
Winning a junior ice hockey championship might not mean a lot to the average person, but it means everything to the residents of Beartown, a community slowly being eaten alive by unemployment and the surrounding wilderness. A victory like this would draw national attention to the ailing town: it could attract government funding and an influx of talented athletes who would choose Beartown over the big nearby cities. A victory like this would certainly mean everything to Amat, a short, scrawny teenager who is treated like an outcast everywhere but on the ice; to Kevin, a star player just on the cusp of securing his golden future in the NHL; and to Peter, their dedicated general manager whose own professional hockey career ended in tragedy.
At first, it seems like the team might have a shot at fulfilling the dreams of their entire town. But one night at a drunken celebration following a key win, something happens between Kevin and the general manager’s daughter—and the next day everything seems to have changed. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown, leaving no resident unaffected. With so much riding on the success of the team, the line between loyalty and betrayal becomes difficult to discern. At last, it falls to one young man to find the courage to speak the truth that it seems no one else wants to hear.
Fredrik Backman knows that we are forever shaped by the places we call home, and in this emotionally powerful, sweetly insightful story, he explores what can happen when we carry the heavy weight of other people's dreams on our shoulders.
文/舒念 《熊镇》的33万字,全是关于一座小镇的故事。 一个小镇可以有很多人,但却只有一件大事,当我们全情贯注于自身的时候,我们无法认识到彼与此的同一性,小镇可以是一个多数人的避难所,也会成为一个少数人的处,因为人们常常无法分辨是与非,他们只有在经历了足够多之后...

评分今年是我投身于出版行业的第五年,五年间接生了50多本书,其中的7,8本卖出了十万册以上的销量,以近年的图书市场来讲勉强可以算作畅销书;操作过销量50万册以上的“爆款图书”;也做出过“中国最美图书”。可我的内心正在一点点死去。 繁冗的出版流程,模式化的写作逻辑,尸位...
评分说实话觉得写得有点啰嗦……
评分I was so wrong for assuming that this will be a hockey version of Friday Night Light. This should be the book of the year 2017, given the exposure of Weinstein event.
评分读完Backman 这本相对以往风格稍沉重的新作,我把作者列为我的Go-To Authors名单里了。不管他下一本书是什么主题,是否会在更沉重的主题里展示humanity, 我肯定不会错过。 和他之前的作品相比,没有给这本书满分评价并不是因为主题,而是这本里书里在节奏掌握方面稍稍有一点点拖(有重复段落,尽管并不多)。但一如既往符合Backman的风格的是,你一定会被书里的人物牵动情感,会在意他们,会因为上他们中的某些人,哭着也笑着。结合本书的故事背景和主题,我们不能说Beartown 和《外婆的道歉信》一样属于温情暖心的作品,但严寒冬季深夜里的火苗有时候给人更多的希望、曙光与力量。同样的,如每一部Backman的作品,书里也会有很多忍不住摘录的智慧及感人至深的语句。
评分说实话觉得写得有点啰嗦……
评分熊镇的人总说自己的身体里流淌着熊之血。后来我们才知道,真正流着熊之血的,并不是那些高声嚎叫的所谓英雄、战士,而是一个个卑微的、正直的、勇敢的普通人。【见长评】
