Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is hellish for all slaves, but Cora is an outcast even among her fellow Africans, and she is coming into womanhood; even greater pain awaits. Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her of the Underground Railroad and they plot their escape. Like Gulliver, Cora encounters different worlds on each leg of her journey.

Whitehead brilliantly recreates the unique terrors of black life in pre-Civil War America. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.

Reading is such a personal choice. With all the hype and big name prizes, I don’t feel emotionally connected with the characters. The book is beautifully written and the storyline is fine.
具体地看见。看完的一刻点开歌单是一首名叫it unfolds 的歌，歌词几句「Open her eyes and shes smaller than anything shes ever known / Floating in nothingness running from everything shes ever known」巧合般地和这部地下铁道暗合。

黑人奴隶的经历是实打实的血泪史，照理说这个故事应该写得更抓人。是个挺扎实的好故事，只是总觉得哪里差点儿劲道，隔了层纱，没有一下扎进心里的感觉。电视剧今年会出，可以看看~

一本会让人觉得英文特别美的小说。文字的流畅和简洁在最近几年读过的英美文学里数一数二。最喜欢它在历险故事里加入的一些对于人性和历史的思考。一些突然的转折让人意识到一个人在现实面前是多么的无力，但即使是这样也不能停下不顾一切向自由奔跑的脚步。

评论里看见很多忿忿不平，集中表现在此书同主题著作已太多而角度不够新。对我而言，此书却恰恰让我面对“常识”的时候，对某种别人的苦难有了新的想象力。

题材很吸引人，但写得太散乱了，难读

20240420听书《地下铁路》，描述了黑奴逃离奴隶主庄园的辛酸故事。自由是一切的基石，任何限制自由的体制终将土崩瓦解。
