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)

基于真实事件实录。作者很精彩地用了世博会与恶魔两条叙述线。这两条线其实都是同一主题——白城与恶魔都是人类制造。虽然恶魔更吸引眼球,但是我更喜欢白城那一半,绝妙的讽刺。绝妙的现实。如此丰盛,又如此邪恶,令人惊叹之处在于,我们真的很难区分,哪部分属于丰盛,哪部分属于邪恶?

芝加哥世博会和霍姆斯连环杀人案双线并行,翻译也不错,挺厚一本也顺利地读完了。

两条线有严重割裂感。建筑师线实在太纪实 太一板一眼,连最基本的角色刻画和情感主线都乏善可陈,只见到同类人物和情节的不停罗列;恶魔线本可以大幅艺术加工,但成品出来一样是清汤寡面式的无趣

比起图书标题重点提及的“恶魔”,这书的真正主角其实是芝加哥与她的世博会,世博会部分真是精彩,以至于“恶魔”沦为了一个陪衬,用他的邪恶本性来充做这座城市的阴影代表。19世纪末,芝加哥的黄金时代,她粗俗,下流,罪恶……她年轻,美丽,生机勃勃!
