Alice, a novelist, meets Felix, who works in a distribution warehouse, and asks him if he'd like to travel to Rome with her. In Dublin, her best friend Eileen is getting over a break-up, and slips back into flirting with Simon, a man she has known since childhood.
Alice, Felix, Eileen and Simon are still young-but life is catching up with them. They desire each other, they delude each other, they get together, they break apart. They have sex, they worry about sex, they worry about their friendships and the world they live in. Are they standing in the last lighted room before the darkness, bearing witness to something? Will they find a way to believe in a beautiful world?

如果要盘点最近几年正当红的青年作家,爱尔兰作家萨莉·鲁尼一定榜上有名。 从《聊天记录》到《正常人》再到最近的新作《美丽的世界,你在哪里》,鲁尼的每一部作品都堪称全球现象级畅销小说。其中,根据《正常人》(Normal People)改编的同名剧集,也掀起一轮收视狂潮,同时收...
4 優缺點都很明顯。一貫的細膩但也有點裝逼。明顯看到Rooney想跳齣舒適區但反而不及前兩本寫學生圈子那麼自然流暢,兩對cp中Eileen和Simon這對年齡差組閤是延續前兩部的設定,都是心靈受創渴愛乖乖女和穩重成熟爛好人(中央空調)的青梅竹馬虐戀,Rooney寫這種設定的確所嚮無敵。不過Simon的天主教徒身分挺有趣的,他倆有次開船之後去彌撒簡直就是侯麥的道德故事。比較突破的就是Alice和Felix這對,Alice明顯是作者本人爆紅後的化身,Felix反而在前兩本找不到類似的角色,基本上是4人組裡經常發錶一針見血的評論的正常人,不過他的角色塑造也是最單薄。寫派對晚宴那兩章有點Woolf捕捉生命的吉光片羽的上帝視角的味道,的確花瞭心思,就是最後疫情封城那兩封郵件畫蛇添足,還是心軟瞭
评分兩個女孩的通信太奇妙瞭,既細膩地描述瞭自己的心理狀態,又對這個世界有所思考。相比兩對情侶的親密關係,我更喜歡藉那些Email傳遞齣來的對世界的溫柔,以及女孩們看似冷淡和厭世的錶麵下對愛的渴求。尤其是Eileen剛剛與Simon建立連接以後,她感到學生時代的那種自由和對美的感知又迴來瞭。“The nearness, the possibility of beauty, like a light radiating softly from behind the visible world, illuminating everything.” 不足之處,在我看來也在於兩個女性的救贖終歸還是要靠男性得以完成。四個人中相對最清醒的Felix是一個工人階級男性,雖然他很可愛,但還是不免討巧瞭些。
评分Sally Rooney式中産階級青春傷痛文學。帶著class consciousness的email對話還有把Felix的working class job和其他人的middle class life做對比這些中産的自省纔是我最感興趣的。感情那套唧唧歪歪三本書都差不多吧,但Felix和Alice這對常人來看門不當戶不對的couple最後落點在互相關照而不一定是愛情的形式有點意思。
评分額。。。。額。。。。sally老師下次換個東西寫吧 有點感覺被睏住瞭,都開始happy ending瞭
评分這是關於30左右的當代愛爾蘭年輕人的故事。整本書大緻分成兩部分(Alice 和Eileen兩位閨蜜之間的郵件來往、和拉遠鏡頭看圍繞她倆身邊發生的事情),交替章節呈現。相比她的前兩本作品,這一本的人物和話題都更成熟些,在Rooney一直極具洞察力的筆觸下,將30歲麵臨的問題(與20歲時不同的,卻同樣對人生和對世界有著很多不確定的感受)很自然地描繪齣來。Rooney的寫作每次都給人想討論的空間,而我最喜歡的就是她塑造的人物互動時的真實感,每每都覺得我就在那個場景下,近距離聽到看到這些人。她通過描寫人物之間的那種衝突和張力都是很微妙的,在人物互動中反應齣人物內心對世界的疑問,比如本書中關於性的描寫,會突然讓我明白為什麼有話說 “所有事都與性有關,唯獨性本身,性是一種權力。” 細膩入微。
