Elderly widow Addie Moore pays a visit to her aging widower neighbor, Louis Waters. They were never close, just knew each other peripherally, which makes the reason for this social call all the more intriguing. Addie would like to know if Louis is interested in sleeping with her. Now, now, this scenario was conceived by the late, great Kent Haruf—Our Souls at Night is no 50 Shades of Geriatric Grey. Set in the same fictional Colorado town as his National Book Award-nominated Plainsong, a town with its fair share of gossips, Addie and Louis embark on an unlikely friendship, an antidote to the loneliness they most exquisitely felt at night. As this friendship deepens, it is tested by said busybodies and meddling family members, plot points that almost distract from what makes this novel such a fitting and sweet swan song. Our Souls at Night was inspired, in part, by Haruf’s own marriage and the intimate, late-night conversations he and his wife relished, just like Addie and Louis. And just like Addie and Louis, Haruf proved that you’re never too old to reinvent yourself, take risks, find love, and write a great novel. --Erin Kodicek

柏拉图式的老年恋爱，这个领域其实很少见到文学家会书写，kent的语言非常平实简洁，人物对话不断交织中，仿佛从头到尾就是一首plainsong，应该直面人的倾诉渴望，这种依恋也会演变为爱，却更质素简净得多，更多关于灵魂的慰藉，the desire for love does not dissolve with age

语言朴实，喜欢用大长句 可是没有想象中的好看

70岁了还活不透彻……当下的幸福体验感比淡漠的亲情纽带更重要吧。为什么要让那些禁锢自己？！

长日将尽，两位老人在小城中的孤独与慰藉。清单，清爽，动人。

简单的叙述，简单的故事，并非简单的孤独与慰籍，而是揭示出了平凡人不简单的人性。

好无聊。文笔也差。如果两个怕孤单的陌生男女某天起决定同床共枕 在黑夜里分享彼此的生活点滴和情感经历 估计是很容易相爱的

跳着读完，太温了，不是我的取向。和廊桥遗梦交织在一起。

Kent Haruf的遗作，语言平实，用了很多and连接句子，仿佛把时间也拉长了，淡淡地讲述了两个老人在长日将尽时如何摆脱孤独、寻找彼此的故事，以及这样一种快乐是如何达成的，小心翼翼地，勇敢地，温和地。P.S. 中译名“晚风如诉”还不错 :)

读之前谁能想到我会被两位老年人（寡妇和鳏夫）的爱情感动成这样呢。Haruf最后一本小说，语言平淡真切而优美，全文的对话都没有一个引号，让人分不清是他还是她说的，这不就是二人的交融吗
