Richard Yates (February 3, 1926 – November 7, 1992) was an American novelist and short story writer. He was a chronicler of mid-20th century mainstream American life, often cited as artistically residing somewhere between J.D. Salinger and John Cheever. He is regarded as the foremost novelist of the post-WWII Age of Anxiety.
The famous opening line of the novel warns of the bleak narrative to follow, "Neither of the Grimes sisters would have a happy life, and looking back it always seemed that the trouble began with their parents’ divorce." Emily and Sarah Grimes are sisters who share little in terms of character but much in terms of disappointment with their lives. Emily, the more intellectual and cosmopolitan of the two, seeks love in numerous disappointing affairs and short-term relationships while Sarah, the prettier and more conventional sister, marries young and bears children to an uncouth and abusive husband. Their troubled, rootless mother, Pookie, like many Yatesian matriarchs, is likely modeled on his own mother, who was nicknamed "Dookie". The novel, beginning in the 1930s when the sisters are children and ending in the 1970s with Sarah's death, primarily revolves around Emily as the book's central character, though the book employs Yates' characteristic and seamless shifts of consciousness throughout.
孤独将被永恒地书写着,因为孤独与生俱来,至死方休。这个结论让人很沮丧,不过,话说回来,我们到底为什么,如此害怕孤独? 另一个生而为人,永远难以把握得当的词语是“幸福”,不知道怎样才能得到幸福,而不幸,那么多种多样,每个人都无需着急,必能摊到属于自己的独一份。...
评分 评分我承认,这本书我只看到第二章第二节——网上能找到的所有部分。赶在现在写出这篇书评,想要试着赚一册签名本。 前天晚上,一个朋友发短信来向我推荐这本耶茨的《复活节游行》,“你一定要去看,这是张爱玲后来想写而未写的小说。”阴暗、压抑,但是因明了而通透。像张爱玲说的...
因为整个故事太难过,其实只是有点善良的Peter也就是天使了,正好不太久之前看过诺顿演一个小神父(keeping the faith),也就一直把Peter想象成诺顿,真 的 好 多 了。难过到看不下去的,可以试试这个办法:)
评分就算认定了孤独和徒劳 还是会惶恐而感伤 | 太用力和不够用力之间的关系还真是微妙

评分好看,讲女性的孤独,Emily自由但孤独,Sarah结婚早,恋爱结婚,老公不争气,一样孤独。
评分Loneliness,misery,unhappiness,suffering. Life is always full of things like that. 看完喘不过气来,这也是why Yates「难读」,因为他写的并不是能搞死人的绝望,而是永恒不变的失落/失望/失败,,
