在 19 世纪 70 年代,受到 Emerson 寻求“与自然的本源关系”的感召,Will Andrews 从哈佛退学一路向西。他流落到了 Butcher's Crossing,这是堪萨斯州的一个小镇,到处都是浮躁不安、四处寻找赚钱门路和挥霍途径的人。其中一人绘声绘色地向 Will 讲述了隐匿在 Colorado Rockies 的庞大野牛群,并说服他加入一支追踪野牛的探险队。历经艰辛的长途跋涉后,这群人抵达了一处丰饶如天堂的地方,在那里他们放纵自己陷入了一场屠杀狂欢。由于深陷于猎杀野牛之中,他们

  • 约翰·威廉斯的《屠夫十字镇》(Butcher's Crossing)讲的是水牛猎人的故事,写得太神了。如果里面有一半是真的,那也是场彻头彻尾的悲剧。那令人震惊的杀戮数量,为了几张兽皮带来的利润而造成的毁灭之深,让人难以想象我们人类居然干得出这种事。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butcher's_Crossing…

    John Williams’ Butcher’s Crossing is an incredible story about buffalo hunters. If half of it is true it’s tragic. The sheer numbers; the depth of destruction for the profit of a hide. It boggles the mind that we did this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butcher's_Crossing…

  • ……虽然很脏,但已经是挺久以前的事了。它至今仍是我最喜欢的作品之一。就算没有别的收获,我也很感谢这本书促使我去寻找其他文学西部小说,比如奥克利·霍尔的《术士》(Warlock)和约翰·威廉斯的《屠夫十字镇》(Butcher's Crossing)。

    …filthy, but it has been a long time. It remains one of my all-time favorites. If nothing else, I'm indebted to the book for encouraging me to seek out literary westerns such as Warlock by Oakley Hall and Butcher's Crossing by John Williams.

  • 如果你喜欢威廉斯的《奥古斯都》(Augustus),一定要去读读《斯通纳》(Stoner)和《屠夫十字镇》(Butcher's Crossing)。比起《奥古斯都》,我甚至更“喜欢”这两本。“喜欢”打上引号是因为它们读起来都极其虐心——《斯通纳》比《屠夫十字镇》还要虐。我整整一周都没缓过神来……

    If you enjoyed Williams's Augustus, do give Stoner and Butcher's Crossing a read. I "enjoyed" them even more than Augustus. Enjoyed is in quotes because they are both emotionally devastating -- Stoner more so than Butcher's Crossing. I didn't feel like myself for a week…

  • 几年前,我给一位家人送了纽约书评出版社(NYRB)出版的约翰·威廉斯的《屠夫十字镇》(Butcher's Crossing)。他在感谢卡里说自己非常喜欢这本书,但讨厌导言。我告诉他我隐约记得那本书是有篇导言,但我没读过,而且可能以后也……

    Some years ago, I gave a family member the NYRB printing of Butcher's Crossing by John Williams. The thank you note said that he had loved the book, but hated the introduction. I told him that I had been vaguely aware that book had an introduction, but hadn't read it and still might…
