Jon Krakauer 的文坛盛名建立在他对那些游走在极限边缘的人生所作的深刻记录之上。在 UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN 中，他将关注点从肉体冒险的极限转向了本土宗教信仰的极端形态。全书的核心是一起骇人听闻的双重谋杀案，由 Ron 和 Dan Lafferty 这对摩门教原教旨主义兄弟犯下，他们坚称收到了上帝的启示，命令他们杀害无辜的受害者。以对这起“神圣启示”罪行的严密调查为起点，Krakauer 构建了一部层次丰富、令人毛骨悚然的

充满火药味，情绪单一且狂热，甚至带着恳求的口吻，以至于牺牲了叙事性。克拉考尔（Krakauer）就有两个典型例子：一是《在天国的旗帜下》（Under The Banner Of Heaven），直接演变成了对摩门教信仰的一场指控†；二是《Where Men Win Glory》，后三分之一几乎是字字带泪。注：我不是说这两本书写得不好，我……
Polemic, passionate in a one-note way, pleading, to an extent that sacrifices the narrative. Two great examples from Krakauer: _Under The Banner Of Heaven_, which veers into a straight-up litigation against the Mormon faith†, and _Where Men Win Glory_, whose latter third is practically tear-stained. Note: I'm not saying either of those books are bad; I…
……在于演播者。可能故事极好，但演播者很烂。而优秀的演播者能把烂故事讲活。这是我的书单：《布谷鸟的蛋》（The Cuckoos Egg），克利福德·斯特尔著；《守护程序》（Daemon），丹尼尔·苏亚雷斯著；《在天国的旗帜下》，乔恩·克拉考尔著；《火星救援》，安迪·威尔著（RC Bray 播讲的版本比威尔·惠顿版强太多了）；马尔科姆·格拉德威尔读的任何作品；《林中漫步》（A Walk in the Woods），比尔·布莱森著，作者亲声朗读。它也……
…is the narrator. It could be a great story, but a terrible narrator. Where as a great narrator could make a bad story good. Here’s my list: The Cuckoos Egg by Clifford Stoll Daemon by Daniel Suarez Under the banner of heaven by Jon Krakauer The Martian by Andy Weir (RC Bray version is far superior to will Wheaton’s version) Anything read by Malcolm Gladwell A walk in the woods by Bill Bryson, read by the author. It also…
……对于普遍的婚姻模式，从某种意义上说我同意他们的看法：没有刻板性别角色的良性婚姻，恰恰证明了他们那种婚姻观是多么局限和残酷不平等。[1] 克拉考尔的《在天国的旗帜下》很适合用来感受一下这种氛围：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Banner_of_Heaven
…to marriage in general, and in one sense I agree with them: functional marriages without rigid gender roles demonstrate that their conception of marriage is limited and grimly unequal. [1] Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven is a good place to get the flavor of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Banner_of_Heaven
上次来敲门的传教士，我对他们说我读过乔恩·克拉考尔的《在天国的旗帜下》。从那以后再也没见过他们了。
I told the last missionaries at my door that I'd read "Under the banner of heaven" by John n Krakauer. Haven't seen one since.
你怎么不早说他们是摩门教徒？这下全说得通了。在那套体系里，真理、谎言和道德的定义根本不一样。去读读克拉考尔的《在天国的旗帜下》吧。
Why didn't you say they were mormons from the beginning? That all makes sense now. Truth, lies, and morality doesn't mean the same in that case. Read Under The Banner of Heaven by Krakauer.
……其实我发现《荒野生存》（Into the Wild）是他最无聊的作品之一——可能因为我实在无法对麦坎德利斯产生共鸣。《进入空气稀薄地带》（Into Thin Air）是让他彻底破圈走向大众的成名作，写得棒极了。《在天国的旗帜下》也非常值得一读——不过我觉得历史部分更有意思。（现代线的故事大体上就很让人压抑。）
…actually found "Into the Wild" to be among his least interesting--probably because I couldn't really identify with McCandless."Into Thin Air" is the book that put him on the mainstream map and it's awesome. "Under the Banner of Heaven" is particularly noteworthy as well--although I found the historical parts the more interesting. (The modern story was mostly just depressing.)
