When four classmates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity. Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he’ll not only be unable to overcome—but that will define his life forever.

一開始只能在 Jude 身上看到自己。然後他開始變成主角,開始成為這幾個月來每天晚上會擔心的人。最後兩章要鼓起勇氣才能把書拿起,很想永遠讀下去,又不想和 Jude, Williem, Harold, Andy, Malcolm, JB 道別。Yanagihara 的語句淺顯卻感人至深,把有些不常見的心理活動刻劃得無比細膩。雖然總體殘忍,但有些地方未免還是有些理想化了。

细枝末节的描述太多了 比如那些禁不起推敲全世界到处跑的浮夸和各种擦边玛丽苏的设定 让那些无以承受的苦难被映衬得像精致玻璃瓶里的标本 可怜可叹但又让人出戏。一本书写几十年 但可惜却感受不到人物的成长轨迹。话虽如此 看到最后却十分不舍。但不会再捧起 因为太沉重了

无语。听了二十多个小时实在是听不下去了。毫无意义的虐文。虽然Jude是主角但我实在是无法理解这个人有什么办法能在前二十年一个好人都遇不到然后以后的人生让一堆好朋友对他爱到死心塌地。生活中间值丧到行尸走肉的程度了还能开挂金手指成为公司partner。这段悲惨的little life写出了除了让人哭意外完全没有借鉴意义啊。。。

我没办法给更高的分数。最后的两章太烦人,无论是所谓的happy years还是最后的自杀,都让我有点不耐烦。有时候会停下来怀疑,Willem和Jude的感情到底是什么,what if他们只停留在朋友是不是就足够了,有什么必要一定要成为爱人,那些性的折磨和无法跨越的障碍,好像只有车祸才能解决一样。到最后还是难过的哭了,没有退路吧。文笔优美刻意啰嗦,有点失衡,太多好朋友了,导致后来JB和MAL都没有什... 我没办法给更高的分数。最后的两章太烦人,无论是所谓的happy years还是最后的自杀,都让我有点不耐烦。有时候会停下来怀疑,Willem和Jude的感情到底是什么,what if他们只停留在朋友是不是就足够了,有什么必要一定要成为爱人,那些性的折磨和无法跨越的障碍,好像只有车祸才能解决一样。到最后还是难过的哭了,没有退路吧。文笔优美刻意啰嗦,有点失衡,太多好朋友了,导致后来JB和MAL都没有什么重量。以及,每次细致描写自残的时候,都要皱眉。不想推荐给任何人看。 (展开)
