LONGLISTED FOR THE 2018 MAN BOOKER PRIZE A wondrous and wise coming-of-age love story from the celebrated author of Conversations with Friends At school Connell and Marianne pretend not to know each other. He’s popular and well-adjusted, star of the school football team, while she is lonely, proud and intensely private. But when Connell comes to pick his mother up from her job at Marianne’s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers—one they are determined to conceal. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other. Sally Rooney brings her brilliant psychological acuity and perfectly spare prose to a story that explores the subtleties of class, the electricity of first love, and the complex entanglements of family and friendship.
##算是我第一次读英文小说(以前的什么牛津书虫系列不算)。这些年我也不怎么读小说了,所以读起来是参杂着一种久违的感觉的。读小说也是因为看电视剧被吸引。这本看似言情小说,实际上是一种自我剖析(或者说自省和自恋掺杂)的文本。去维基百科上查查Sally Rooney的生平就知道,两位主人公的原型就是作者自己,她把自己一分为二成一对男女,把成长的体悟投射到这对男女的关系之中。也正是因为如此,整个故事太内向了,这种内向却也是它吸引人的地方。
评分##略失望 此书少了前作的灵气 还是期待一下盛名在外的同名改编剧集吧 不过作者的审美依旧非常对味 又一次在关键情节看到熟悉的《Emma》闪现的《The Umbrellas of Cherbourg》以及在处女作里提及的Françoise Hardy和Frank O'Hara 都是心头好
评分##better than Conversations w/ Friends but still don't fully understand the hype
评分##这本书goodread上喜欢的人特别喜欢,讨厌的特别讨厌。纯粹因为好奇极端的评论来读的,看完前三十页就知道我应该是属于非常非常非常喜欢的那一阵营了。Sally非常善于写现代人心里那些曲里拐弯无法言说的情绪,中间好几次想放下书爆哭的感觉。不喜欢的人觉得不知所云,真的都是幸运的人啊。
评分##实在无法理解Sally在年轻一代作家中是如何蜚声国际的…到底是哪些人在吹彩虹屁…小说女主人公的设定是非normal people,全程看下来,没觉得她哪里不正常了,如果放到欧美人个性谱系里,更是不要太正常。即便要写不正常的人,她的功力跟ottessa比差太远了,ottessa都没火爆文坛,怎么sally就先成爆款了?故事读完,唯一的触动是,年轻人每天与酒和X相伴,真的好开心。
评分##保持住了前作的势头 依旧非常喜欢
评分##对于这种一般现在时往前走,然后在用一般过去式插叙的写法很喜欢。这是读原文才有的精髓体验。极为简单的词和句子就cover了大部分的感受,而中间突兀的大段学术论述则显得非常反讽……
评分##They are normal people, just like me~
评分##比一般的爱情小说更精炼、野心更大,把成长放在内向性格、原生家庭(阶级)的背景里。到最后,normal = 与自我握手言和 = 只是追求知识的nice person?
