no woman, whether singing before defiant trumpets or rejoicing before the Lord, who had not seen her father, her brother, her lover, or her son cut down without mercy; who had not seen her sister become part of the white man's great whorehouse, who had not, all too narrowly, escaped that house herself; no man, preaching, or cursing, strumming his guitar in the lone, blue evening, or blowing in fury and ecstasy his golden horn at night, who had not been made to bend his head and drink white men's muddy water; no man whose manhood had not been, at the root, sickened, whose loins had not been dishonored, whose seed had not been scattered into oblivion and worse than oblivion, into living shame and rage, and into endless battle. Yes, their parts were all cut off, they were dishonored, their ve... (查看原文)
His mind was like the sea itself: troubled, and too deep for the bravest man's descent, throwing up now and again, for the naked eye to wonder at, treasure and debris long forgotten on the bottom--bones and jewels, fantastic shells, jelly that had once been flesh, pearls that had once been eyes. And he was at the mercy of this sea, hanging there with darkness all around him. (查看原文)

20160327购买。前面还在仔细看,后面跳读,不喜欢这种风格。书里面夹着的旧发票不错。

故事情节我还挺喜欢的,就是有太多谈宗教的东西了,不太能理解。这本小说的翻译也拖后腿了。

看似是宗教宣告布道小说,其实淋漓尽致书写宗教压抑下的人性,怪不得鲍德温会写出释放同志欲望的《乔万尼的房间》。

一部关于黑人寻求心灵救赎的小说。但宗教拯救不了黑人的心灵。宗教是一种麻醉剂,在奴隶制时代是有用的,因为宗教能止痛。但如今是科技文明的时代,宗教已退到了边缘,宗教的社会作用越来越小。因此,黑人如果不能紧跟上时代的发展,在现代科技文明中做出几件对全人类有巨大贡献的成就,根本就无法拯救自己的灵魂。有了巨大的贡献,拯救的不仅仅是个人的灵魂,而是整个黑人种族的灵魂。这一点对任何民族都是一样的。

他们的身后是黑暗,周围是毁灭,前方只有熊熊火焰;这个远离上神的卑劣民族,在荒野里歌唱着,呼喊着。他们可怕的证词也将是他的证词,他们的忧伤也将是他的忧伤。

3.5。反映黑人种族遭遇的一本书,时间的跳跃,半自传性的描写,不同人物的回忆和心理诉说,还是觉得有点不那么好看,可能是比较熟悉这个套路,本以为约翰会觉醒,事实上作者也确实在揭露宗教对黑人的影响,可是结局又是一头雾水。一代又一代被禁锢在牧师这个角色里,与身体的欲望对抗,与善恶对抗,男人已经很难受了,女人更是可怜。一个很烦人的男性的角色诞生了,约翰思想上逃离家庭的第一部分还有点好看。
