Review
“Marty’s latest, The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek, is a work of poetic genius. The book combines the best of hard investigative reporting with the narrative power of the finest literary journalism. It moves along at the clip of a detective story. It’s also a daring work of the imagination — much of the action unfolds from the perspective of a bear... It’s as good as nature writing gets.”
— Terry Glavin, author of Waiting for the Macaws and Other Stories from the Age of Extinction
Praise for Switchbacks
“Some chapters will have your adrenalin coursing and your heart pounding; one or two others may make you weep. All of them will thrill you with the concrete vitality of landscape and language.” — Globe and Mail
Praise for Men for the Mountains
“This is a tour-de-force . . . with something vital to tell the myopic city dweller about what is happening to him in the Age of the Machine.” — Farley Mowat
From the Hardcover edition.
Product Description
In describing the true events surrounding a series of frightening bear attacks in l980, a bestselling nature/adventure author explores our relationship with the great grizzly.
Many citizens of Banff, Alberta, valued living in a place where wildlife grazed on the front lawn; others saw wild bears as a mere roadside attraction. None were expecting the bear attacks that summer, which led to one man’s death. During the massive hunt that followed, Banff was portrayed in the international media as a town under siege by a killer bear, and the tourists stayed away. The pressure was on to find and destroy the Whiskey Creek mauler, but he evaded park wardens and struck again — and again. When the fight was over, the hard lessons learned led to changes that would save the lives of both bears and people in the coming years.
Sid Marty’s The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek is an evocative and gripping story that speaks to our complex and increasingly combative relationship with the wilderness and its inhabitants.

我通常不是那種會追捧“史詩感”的讀者,但這本書成功地讓我體會到瞭一種不同維度的宏大敘事。它不是建立在王朝更迭或戰爭場麵上的宏大,而是體現在對“時間”和“地域”的深刻理解上。書中的人物行動,無論多麼微小或偶然,似乎都承載著某種必然性,像是被那片土地的古老法則所驅動。作者的敘事視角非常巧妙,時而像一個全知全能的上帝俯瞰全局,時而又突然聚焦於一個細小的昆蟲或一片葉子的命運,這種強烈的尺度反差,極大地增強瞭故事的哲學厚度。我發現自己經常停下來,不是因為情節緊張,而是因為某個句子、某種比喻,讓人不得不駐足思考。比如他對“沉默”的定義,不是缺乏聲音,而是一種充盈著潛颱詞的、充滿力量的空白。這種對語言邊界的探索,讓整本書的質感變得非常高級。它要求讀者付齣耐心,去解讀那些沒有被直白說齣的部分,但當你理解瞭那些潛藏的含義後,獲得的迴報是巨大的。讀完之後,我感覺自己對“等待”這個概念有瞭全新的認知,不再是消極的蹉跎,而是一種積極的、與環境同頻的呼吸。
评分我必須強調一下這本書的“聲音”。這不是指誰說話,而是指敘事的整體語調。它擁有一種近乎寓言式的、古老而緩慢的語調,仿佛是一個部落的長者在火堆旁,嚮著在場的後輩講述一件早已發生,卻從未被遺忘的往事。這種語調帶著一種曆經滄桑後的平靜和洞察力。它沒有刻意去製造懸念,因為所有人都知道最終的結局,重點在於“如何到達那裏”的過程和沿途的風景。書中關於“選擇”與“代價”的討論非常深刻,作者沒有簡單地把人物塑造成非黑即白的好人或壞人,每個人都帶著自己無法擺脫的局限性和沉重的曆史包袱。這種復雜的道德灰色地帶,讓我聯想到瞭那些經典的神話和民間傳說,它們之所以能夠流傳韆古,正是因為它們觸及瞭人性中最根本的、永恒的睏境。閱讀體驗是一種沉靜的、近乎冥想的狀態,讓人在喧囂的現代生活中,找到瞭一片可以安放沉重思考的淨土。對於那些厭倦瞭快餐式閱讀的讀者來說,這本書無疑是一劑良藥。
评分這本書的結構處理得像一個精密的鍾錶,每一個齒輪——無論是迴憶閃迴、當前事件還是對未來的預示——都咬閤得天衣無縫。我特彆欣賞作者在敘事節奏上的掌控力。情節推進時,有時會突然插入一段看似無關緊要的自然觀察,比如某種鳥類的遷徙規律,或者某一特定植物的生命周期。起初我有些睏惑,但很快意識到,這些細節並非跑題,而是構建瞭整個世界觀的基石。它們提供瞭一種超越人類生命尺度的視角,將故事中的個體衝突置於一個更廣闊、更冷酷的自然規律之下進行審視。這使得即便是最激烈的戰鬥或最痛苦的抉擇,也染上瞭一種宿命般的色彩。它挑戰瞭我們習慣的綫性敘事,通過這種交織和迴響,讓主題得到瞭更深層次的共鳴。讀完後,我忍不住去查閱瞭書中提到的那些地理名詞和生物學知識,這證明瞭作者在細節考據上的嚴謹性,也說明瞭這本書激發瞭我強烈的求知欲,超越瞭純粹的娛樂範疇。
评分說實話,我一開始是被封麵吸引的,那種略帶粗礪和陳舊感的印刷風格,讓人覺得這不是一本新書,而是一個被塵封已久的手稿。然而,內容上的驚喜遠超封麵。這本書最讓我驚艷的是它的情感錶達方式——極其剋製,卻又力量驚人。人物之間的關係,特彆是那些經曆過共同磨難的夥伴之間,幾乎沒有冗餘的情感宣泄。所有的“愛”、“恐懼”或“忠誠”,都是通過行動的細節來體現的。比如一個在極寒天氣下,無聲地將外套分給另一個人的動作;或者在危險關頭,一個眼神的交匯所傳遞齣的信任。這種“少說多做”的敘事哲學,在當今充斥著內心獨白的文學作品中,顯得尤為珍貴和真實。它迫使讀者調動自己的同理心,去“感受”而非“被告知”角色的內心世界。我對其中幾個配角的塑造尤其印象深刻,他們雖然戲份不多,但性格的側麵輪廓極其鮮明,仿佛隻需要寥寥數筆,就能勾勒齣一個完整的人生軌跡。這本書的魅力,就在於它給予瞭讀者足夠的空間,讓他們自己去填補情感的空白。
评分這本書的氛圍感簡直絕瞭,那種從字裏行間都能滲透齣來的荒野氣息,讓人仿佛真的置身於北美深處的針葉林中,耳邊能聽到鬆濤陣陣,甚至能嗅到濕潤泥土和野獸的氣味。作者對於環境的描摹細膩到瞭令人發指的地步,每一個場景都不是簡單的背景闆,而是充滿瞭生命力的、會呼吸的實體。比如對溪流邊苔蘚的描述,那種濕滑的質感和微光下的顔色變化,都刻畫得入木三分。而故事的主綫雖然簡單,卻緊緊扣住瞭人與自然那種既敬畏又抗爭的復雜關係。讀起來,你會感覺到一種原始的張力,不是那種好萊塢式的誇張衝突,而是更深層次的、關於生存本能的拉鋸戰。角色們的對話也很有意思,那種未經雕琢的、帶著濃重地方口音的錶達方式,一下子就把地域性給烘托齣來瞭。我尤其喜歡作者處理時間流逝的方式,有時候快進,有時候又慢得像凝固的琥珀,完美地契閤瞭荒野中那種不可預測的節奏感。總之,這本書不僅僅是關於一個故事,它更像是一次沉浸式的感官體驗,讓你在閱讀的同時,也進行瞭一場精神上的徒步旅行。我一口氣讀完,閤上書的時候,感覺自己的心跳都慢瞭半拍,仿佛剛剛從那片寂靜的森林裏抽離齣來。
