Suddenly New York and St. Louis wanted the fair. Washington laid claim to the honor on grounds it was the center of goverment, New York because it was the center of everything. No one cared what St. Louis thought, although the city got a wink for pluck. (查看原文)
... In a late plea for Pitezel to take a more righteous path, his father wrote: "Come with me and I will do the good is the Savior's command. Will you go? I will take that wicked nature out of you, and I will wash from you all stains, and I will be a father to you and you shall be a son and an heir." The pain in his father's words was palpable. "I love you," he wrote, "although you have gone far astray." (查看原文)

非常流畅的双线叙事,画面感很强,特别适合改编。霍姆斯是个天生杀人狂,他死后的相关人士离奇死亡,总让人感觉也许他还有同伙未被捕。

二个故事都挺好,但在我看来讲述白城也即是芝加哥举办世博会的故事更好一点,穿插的这个霍姆斯人间恶魔值得一篇属于自己的作品,这二者的结合在我看来不是一个很好的选择。

白城欣欣向荣,象征着美国的崛起。恶魔则是活跃在一派繁荣下的罪恶暗流。一切都在暗喻着这个并非“非黑即白”的世界——白城在,恶魔就在。

我想看的是他的杀人手法,但这篇花了非常多的篇幅来讲世博会构建过程

双线叙事,一边是至死仍在嘴硬扮无辜的绅士连环杀手进化史,一边是芝加哥世博会自始到终乱中有序风风火火的历程,极有真实罪案类美剧的优良质感。
