Philip Roth's twenty-seventh book takes its title from an anonymous fifteenth-century English allegorical play whose drama centres on the summoning of the living to death and whose hero, "Everyman", is intended to be the personification of mankind. The fate of Roth's "Everyman" is traced from his first shocking confrontation with death on the idyllic beaches of his childhood summers and during his hospitalisation as a nine-year-old surgical patient through the crises of health that come close to killing him as a vigorous adult, and into his old age, when he is undone by the death and deterioration of his contemporaries and relentlessly stalked by his own menacing physical woes. A successful commercial advertising artist with a New York ad agency, he is the father of two sons who despise him and a daughter who adores him, the beloved brother of a good man whose physical well-being comes to arouse his bitter envy, and the lonely ex-husband of three very different women with whom he's made a mess of marriage. "Everyman" is a painful human story of the regret and loss and stoicism of a man who becomes what he does not want to be. The terrain of this savagely sad short novel is the human body, and its subject is the common experience that terrifies us all.

评分 评分也许是今年读到的最棒的一部小说。故事讲述的是一个纽约老年犹太知识分子的后半生。其实正如书名所暗示,那是“Everyman”必将面临的境遇。每一个人在步入老年后,必将面对衰老带来的疾病,脆弱,自卑,抑郁,孤独的痛苦,并只能选择带着怨气承受近似折磨般的忍耐。而且,越是...

评分结构新颖别致,为一个完整的回环。有了些许经历之后,读小说味道是要不一样些。前半部分平顺,后半部分长句充分显示出英语之美,一连串无解疑问让人沉默。2018.5.23 Philip Roth过世。
评分平静 赤裸裸 悲哀
评分平静 赤裸裸 悲哀
评分幸福就在那里,可愤世嫉俗的人偏偏选择视而不见,敏感多疑的人偏偏选择不相信它存在。衰老不是悲伤的源头,习惯性的自怨自艾才是。
评分对死亡和衰老的思考,依然是Roth的常见主题:出轨,肉欲,父子不和。我喜欢Phoebe离婚前岩浆般喷薄出的恨与自尊。喜欢Roth的长句和沉思。
