In his National Book Award winning novel Augustus , John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher's Crossing , his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America.

It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, fired up by Emerson to seek ''an original relation to nature,'' drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher's Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. Butcher's Crossing is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisiacal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher's Crossing to find a world as irremediably changed as they have been.

如果把《屠夫十字镇》当西部小说看,你会发现里面没有英雄,个人主义的光辉在几个人物身上显得孱弱,对这一类型构成了温和的反讽。 年轻人安德鲁斯来到屠夫十字镇,出资与人外出捕猎而因大雪受困山谷,熬过一整个冬天后,回来后发现集镇突然衰败,猎取的对象失去了价值。 将近...

在谈论以品钦、德里罗为代表的当代作家作品时,文学评论家詹姆斯•伍德使用了“歇斯底里现实主义”的断语。他认为,现代派小说无论从结构还是篇幅都称得上是“巨无霸”。作家们雄心勃勃,一方面沿袭狄更斯以来严整的叙事体系,一方面穷尽后现代把戏颠覆前人,洋洋洒洒近千页...
