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.)

評分虽然伊丽莎白·斯特劳特(Elizabeth Strout, 1956-)凭借其第三部著作《奥丽芙·基特里奇》成为2009年美国普利策小说奖得主,但其名声依旧没有在中国大陆被广泛传开。大部分读者对其知之甚少。她的第一本中文著作《艾米与伊莎贝尔》其实早在2004年就有台湾出版社出版。然而,她被...
短篇組成的長篇,片段組成的生活,並希望由此看到痛苦、遺憾和隔閡的原因,我們為何如此生活?有幾篇極為有力,結尾雖然感人,但是還是弱瞭些,更讓人感到有些無奈。
