The long-awaited first novel from the author of Tenth of December: a moving and original father-son story featuring none other than Abraham Lincoln, as well as an unforgettable cast of supporting characters, living and dead, historical and invented
February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. “My poor boy, he was too good for this earth,” the president says at the time. “God has called him home.” Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns, alone, to the crypt several times to hold his boy’s body.
From that seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of its realistic, historical framework into a supernatural realm both hilarious and terrifying. Willie Lincoln finds himself in a strange purgatory where ghosts mingle, gripe, commiserate, quarrel, and enact bizarre acts of penance. Within this transitional state—called, in the Tibetan tradition, the bardo—a monumental struggle erupts over young Willie’s soul.
Lincoln in the Bardo is an astonishing feat of imagination and a bold step forward from one of the most important and influential writers of his generation. Formally daring, generous in spirit, deeply concerned with matters of the heart, it is a testament to fiction’s ability to speak honestly and powerfully to the things that really matter to us. Saunders has invented a thrilling new form that deploys a kaleidoscopic, theatrical panorama of voices to ask a timeless, profound question: How do we live and love when we know that everything we love must end?

看了一会儿其他人对这本书的评论,说实话,从图书馆借回家的时候,我是充满期待的。但我英文水平欠佳,实在属于没熬过头1/3,于是全盘看不下去的类型。“看不下去”,不见得是作者的问题,《百年孤独》我之前也看不下去,是扔在书架挣扎了好几年才在反反复复的阅读里体会到它的妙处。总之对这本书,诚实讲,我怀着非常沮丧的心情看了一点,弃掉。我知道是好作品,但可能真要几年后才能理解得到。

用当代碎片化的写作手法描述了一个19世纪的故事。一古一今,形式和内容的结合,融合激烈的情感力量,使得全书相当抓人,因为你时时刻刻都在不同人物不同视角不同故事线之间来回穿越;语言相当具有美感,对于口音和身份的模仿也很到位。个人觉得遗憾的一点是小说留白太多,心系神父和众多人物的结局。

Two puffs of smoke became mutually fond.”这里太感动了流泪,JG用她女儿小时候一起跳舞一起陪她玩感受到fullness of joy的例子来解释也好感动(但是发现她女儿长大后不记得这些,就很失落),我想到跟朋友聊天还有牵手 (展开)

感觉是对Our Town的致敬,但是我觉得差多了…主要是写法太细碎,除了Bevins和Vollman人物形象几乎都不鲜明,全书写的也很细,写了Grief(但我觉得grief实在是最被写烂的题材,这本也并无新意…)然后还有南北战争吧(就,我第一次看到这么无聊的平铺直叙讲历史)本来以为会是对生死的思考/对生命的赞歌,主题我觉得也因为细碎写得并不好…Bevins讲述他自杀前想到的生命的sensual p... 感觉是对Our Town的致敬,但是我觉得差多了…主要是写法太细碎,除了Bevins和Vollman人物形象几乎都不鲜明,全书写的也很细,写了Grief(但我觉得grief实在是最被写烂的题材,这本也并无新意…)然后还有南北战争吧(就,我第一次看到这么无聊的平铺直叙讲历史)本来以为会是对生死的思考/对生命的赞歌,主题我觉得也因为细碎写得并不好…Bevins讲述他自杀前想到的生命的sensual pleasure和那一队鬼魂来的时候我才有感受到美…我觉得就没有get到Our Town成功的关键(什么)那就是用细碎的手法写细碎的生活之美,这样细碎的手法写大叙事并且歌颂林肯我觉得不合适… (展开)

6+2=8/10 這幾年排在《The Handmaid's Tale》後,速讀完立即精讀的第二本小說。 邊讀邊驚訝: “小說居然能這樣寫?!” “完全靠第三方交叉言語,怎麼能把劇情交代得如此淋漓盡致?” “這是舞臺劇劇本吧?” “這舞臺效果如何呈現?” 短篇小說作家第一次嘗試長篇,大膽的揚長避短,巧妙地用無數個短篇眾生相繪成精彩的浮世繪。 第一次被小說結構而不是故事折服,二月閱讀快感爆燈!... 6+2=8/10 這幾年排在《The Handmaid's Tale》後,速讀完立即精讀的第二本小說。 邊讀邊驚訝: “小說居然能這樣寫?!” “完全靠第三方交叉言語,怎麼能把劇情交代得如此淋漓盡致?” “這是舞臺劇劇本吧?” “這舞臺效果如何呈現?” 短篇小說作家第一次嘗試長篇,大膽的揚長避短,巧妙地用無數個短篇眾生相繪成精彩的浮世繪。 第一次被小說結構而不是故事折服,二月閱讀快感爆燈!

难得读当代美国小说,感觉这本非常好。历史、文学、传记的绝妙结合,in a brilliant whitmanesque style, speaking to both Lincoln and Whitman

可能是我英文水平还不够,我觉得为本书比较失败,原因有二:行文来回跳跃,很难读进去;闲杂人等多,扯闲篇儿的篇幅太多,冲淡了林肯和儿子亲情这一主题,给人的感觉是两张皮,一干闲杂人等在舞台上吆喝,主角却迟迟不露面。
