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.
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...
評分“如果说我的作品有一个主题,我怀疑这个主题并不复杂,那就是绝大多数人都生活在一种无法逃避的孤独中,他们的悲剧也在此。” ————理查德·耶茨 “福楼拜以来,少有人对那些生活得苦不...
評分读耶茨的小说总是让我很难受,很难以面对,不敢承认这样的事实。 但是它确实发生了,那么真实。 我不知道可不可以用平凡来形容主角,但确实是这样的,没有什么大的戏剧性,最多也就是她在野外的第一次,她对生活的态度,对男伴的态度,也许应将这本小说放在很久之前的那个年代...

本來以為主題是不婚不育保平安,讀完纔意識到人生好像隻是運氣的問題,不是你受到良好教育或外形美麗就一定能被愛,隻不過碰巧遇到什麼樣的人而已。當然也可以自己一個人過,但年輕時可能會有各式各樣的dates,成為中年女性後這樣的機會就越來越少瞭吧;如果事業上也差強人意,大概真的會非常孤獨吧。講到這裏心生很多切身的恐懼。(第一次讀Yates的原作,反而不如以前讀他其他作品的中文版時感受到的絕望強烈。可能因為這本比較pov?
评分As touching as it is real, as beautiful as it is sad.
评分傷感
评分the last chapter makes me very emotional.. is women's strength really so?
评分掩捲長嘆人生之虛無。還是丁尼生說得妙:”Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath / And after many a summer dies the swan. "
