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.
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(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...
Is this all? When I get to be old will this be all I have to look back on?
评分非常有力量的小说。有点让我想起那部叫《荒漠甘泉》的电影,都是讲人和广袤荒凉的原始自然碰撞时的抗争与毁灭。当然这本小说还加上种族和女性主义的问题。
评分这就是一个女人慢慢滑向无尽深渊直至死亡的过程,作者冷酷的文笔让Mary的一生短暂而悲凉。Mary最恨的就是非洲土地上毒辣的太阳,可她自己的性格恰恰就像是这灼人的太阳一般刚烈而无情。说起来,似乎莱辛笔下的女性大都都是过着这种悲剧而残酷的生活啊,看得让人压抑不已下次得看点轻松的·····
评分看了中文和英文的
评分人生中第一次自己当回事的presentation做的就是the grass is singing两个中译本的对比,挖掘翻译差别里体现的时代变迁下不同语境的中女性意识的苏醒。些许怀念,那时候的我,那时候的目标。
