……既史诗磅礴,又极为私人、惬意。这并不符合每个人的口味,这也很正常,但对于想找这种氛围的读者来说,她是个极棒的作家。顺便说一句,如果喜欢《金翅雀》,我会由衷推荐芭芭拉·金索沃的《恶魔大卫》(Demon Copperhead)。
…both epic and intensely personal and cozy. It's not to everyone's taste and that's fine, but she's a great writer for people who are looking for that sort of vibe. Tangentially, I'd heartily recommend Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver to folks who liked The Goldfinch
芭芭拉·金索沃的书《恶魔大卫》(Demon Copperhead)是一记重拳,直击阿巴拉契亚地区这些年来被糟蹋成什么样;它同时也是一部绝对精彩的小说,文笔之优美是我多年来读过的作品中少见的:……
Barbara Kingsolver's book "Demon Copperhead" is a gut punch of a look at the degree to which Appalachia has gotten fucked over over the years, and is also just an absolutely fantastic novel with some of the most beautiful writing I've read in years:…
芭芭拉·金索沃——《恶魔大卫》(Demon Copperhead)。我过了一阵子才恍然大悟,这书名原来是在押《大卫·科波菲尔》(David Copperfield)的韵。这是一部写得非常出色的成长小说,描绘了现代贫困下的生存状态。写得很……
Barbara Kingsolver - Demon Copperhead. It took me a while before it clicked that the book's title was meant to rhyme with David Copperfield. It's really well written coming-of-age story of a life lived under modern-day poverty. It's well…
……我今年最喜欢的书绝对是《神圣闹剧》(The Divine Farce),我已经很多年没被一个故事这样吸引过了。《地狱短暂停留》(A Short Stay in Hell)也属于这一类。我还在读芭芭拉·金索沃的一本书:《恶魔大卫》(Demon Copperhead)。写得真好,我也很喜欢这个故事,但还没看完,因为总是抽不出时间。还有其他一些短篇,比如《卡尔克萨的居民》(An Inhabitant of Carcosa)……
…favorite book this year has to be The Divine Farce, I haven't been gripped by a story like that in years. A short stay in hell falls in the same category. I'm still reading a book by Barbara Kingsolver: Demon Copperhead. It's really good and I like the story, but I have not finished it yet since I can't seem to find the time for it. Some other short stories like an inhabitant of Carcossa...
