Set in Southern Rhodesia under white rule, Doris Lessing's first novel is at once a riveting chronicle of human disintegration, a beautifully understated social critique, and a brilliant depiction of the quiet horror of one woman's struggleagainst a ruthless fate. Mary Turner is a self-confident, independent young woman who becomes the depressed, frustrated wife of an ineffectual, unsuccessful farmer. Little by little the ennui of years on the farm works its slow poison. Mary's despair progresses until the fateful arrival of Moses, an enigmatic, virile black servant. Locked in anguish, Mary and Moses--master and slave--are trapped in a web of mounting attraction and repulsion, until their psychic tension explodes with devastating consequences.
(unpolished random thoughts, 自己备忘用) 这本书里的很多东西后来都在GN里重复出现了,从Lessing行文的细节,一些句子的构造,段落内和段落间的tension到recurring motifs (race/gender/etc., mental illness/dreams as a freudian device, etc.). 作为一部反映“社会现实...
评分文笔一般。纳博科夫记得是在他的文学讲座里说过,一流作家let the course of action reveals itself,而不是显山露水地写悲愁(paraphrase, 非原句)。Domestic female + color clashes的题材屡见不鲜,读的时候常常想起Claire Denis的Chocolat。Denis本人也是在非洲长大,此...
评分Not a book for the fainted hearted, presumably you can related to the psychological movement of Mary. Lessing said in interview (Apostrophe - Pivot) that books used to be her escape/sanctuary from the real world. Growing up in (somewhat) isolated communiti...
评分柏杨说过,“当贫穷从前门进来的时候,爱情就会从后门溜走了”。这句话虽然不能完全概括Mary的悲剧,但一切是从贫穷开始的。之所以莱辛和其他女性作家不一样,就是因为她描绘这出悲剧的时候,不是单单归结到女性的弱势,家庭的坎坷,种族的冲突上,她用自己精准的力量,...
第一遍读《野草在歌唱》时候觉得深度一般,可是多读几遍觉得作者还是有很多想法的。就个人而言,我不太关注老生常谈的种族主义和女性主义,比较想分析Moses和Mary的关系,不是那种跨种族的男女关系,而是精神层面的。希望有人能和我讨论!
评分至今为止唯一一本精读了两遍的原版英文小说,虽然是被老师逼的,虽然除了剧情以外P都没读懂……
评分莱辛的语言平易近人
评分Mary 可很可怜
评分不要凑合结婚,以及人的心理真的是捉摸不定的东西
