Between the First World War and the Wall Street Crash the French Riviera was the stylish place for wealthy Americans to visit. Among the most fashionable are the Divers, Dick and Nicole who hold court at their villa. Into their circle comes Rosemary Hoyt, a film star, who is instantly attracted to them, but understands little of the dark secrets and hidden corruption that hold them together. As Dick draws closer to Rosemary, he fractures the delicate structure of his marriage and sets both Nicole and himself on to a dangerous path where only the strongest can survive. In this exquisite, lyrical novel, Fitzgerald has poured much of the essence of his own life; he has also depicted the age of materialism, shattered idealism and broken dreams.
去年,电影《了不起的盖茨比》大为热映,因为电影的缘故,我对原著作者菲兹杰拉德(Scott Fitzgerald)产生了兴趣,于是选择读了他的一本长篇小说《夜色温柔》(Tender is the Night)。 事实证明,读这本书是一个颇为纠结的过程,初读之下,甚是觉得小说叙事线索不明,人...

可以从精神分析、女性与疯癫的书写、不可靠叙述、新批评、金融危机和阶级固化等等角度去读,也可以只是享受Fitzgerald凄美而天然的语言,我猜测他写作的时候自我意识很弱,不然诗意不会这么高密度地存在。

没有好人也没有坏人,没有英雄也没有恶棍,不讨厌也谈不上喜欢,平淡的像生活一样,戏剧的像生活一样。最轻松的选择却往往招来艰难的结果,喂,那些说靠直觉的混蛋,总有时间来给你们好看

男主这性格哪里是个psychologist,明明是个没有self-awareness的神经质的作家。他应该去找人看看自己的酗酒问题、codependency、除了拯救未成年少女之外再没有别的人生目标… 男主让人可怜,但又可怜不起来。小说结构混乱(作者到死前还在调整章节顺序),人物行为缺乏内因,读来感到矫情、俗气。这本小说像菲茨杰拉德一本self-pity的日记。

说不出的弥漫于整本书之中的淡淡忧愁
