From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Thirteen linked tales from Strout (Abide with Me, etc.) present a heart-wrenching, penetrating portrait of ordinary coastal Mainers living lives of quiet grief intermingled with flashes of human connection. The opening Pharmacy focuses on terse, dry junior high-school teacher Olive Kitteridge and her gregarious pharmacist husband, Henry, both of whom have survived the loss of a psychologically damaged parent, and both of whom suffer painful attractions to co-workers. Their son, Christopher, takes center stage in A Little Burst, which describes his wedding in humorous, somewhat disturbing detail, and in Security, where Olive, in her 70s, visits Christopher and his family in New York. Strout's fiction showcases her ability to reveal through familiar details—the mother-of-the-groom's wedding dress, a grandmother's disapproving observations of how her grandchildren are raised—the seeds of tragedy. Themes of suicide, depression, bad communication, aging and love, run through these stories, none more vivid or touching than Incoming Tide, where Olive chats with former student Kevin Coulson as they watch waitress Patty Howe by the seashore, all three struggling with their own misgivings about life. Like this story, the collection is easy to read and impossible to forget. Its literary craft and emotional power will surprise readers unfamiliar with Strout. (Apr.)
“那一天我二十一岁,在我一生的黄金时代。我有好多奢望。我想爱,想吃,还想在一瞬间变成天上半明半暗的云”。 ——《奥丽芙·基特里奇》 以前到中午饭点的时候,在电梯里肚子里的饥饿就忍不住翻江倒海,于是我总是选择最角落的地方站着,生怕这种饥饿感暴露于众目睽睽...
评分“多么疯狂、无稽、不可理喻的世界!看,她多么想活下去,她多么想坚持挺住”。 从前在家的时候妈妈把各种吃食端到眼前头都要挑挑拣拣,很有那种小姐身子丫鬟命的难缠刻薄相,后来自己一个人在外却经常半夜忽然觉得饿,那种饥饿感的作祟让人忘了所有关于减肥关于正常作息健康...
评分与《奥丽芙》气息相近的是艾丽丝•门罗的作品,比如《逃离》,都是写微妙的心理与日常的那些不可捉摸。但两相比较,《逃离》会把细如发丝的情感写到碎,或者离家出走或者消失得无影无踪,总会有一个相对极致的高潮,然后是鸦雀无声或者无尽怅然。《逃离》的叙事也更注重技巧...
评分初次读到伊莉莎白·斯特劳特的《奥丽芙·基特里奇》还是从《大方》第一期中的《药店》开始,平淡内敛的文字所描摹的凡人生活,已经给我留下了不错的印象。如今,小说全本终于引进国内,让我们有了领略作品全貌的机会。 我们对文学作品,常常寄托了一些现实中难以企及的愿望,...
评分OK太真实了,真实到她的一举一动都能让我对应到现实中的人。作者ES很妙地在最后加了一段"采访",让OK从小说里走出来,直面自己的创作者,虽然ES称自己只是跟着她。 整本书由Crosby小镇里各个人的故事组成,OK时不时地穿插在其他的小故事里,读起来饶有趣味。不过这种写法结合作者细腻到1080p的描绘,故事的节奏就慢了很多,整个阅读时间持续了一个月。
评分迷你剧改编得真的挺用心的,虽然情节有不同但竟然都关照到了一些小细节!想想前段拍的《儒林外史》都能改编成才子佳人,我也是醉了醉了!正文后有阅读指南,其中有一篇是作者和主角OK(!真有其人)还有第三方的对话,谈话到最后作者问OK是否认为Patty掉进海里有自杀嫌疑,OK说你真是疯了,Patty为什么要自杀,“You may be the writer,Elizabeth,but I think it's a wacky question,”"and it's none of your damn business. Goodbye,people. I have a garden to weed."真的太酷炫了!!!
