Milkman Dead 出生不久前，邻里间的一个怪人曾试图飞翔而从屋顶纵身跃下，结果徒劳丧命。在余生中，他也将同样执着于尝试飞翔。在这部构思精妙的小说中，Toni Morrison 以媲美 Saul Bellow 或 Gabriel García Márquez 的大胆笔触，重塑了成长小说的范式。随着她追随 Milkman 从铁锈地带城市前往其家族起源之地，Morrison 引出了一整群奋斗者与女先知、骗子与刺客，生动刻画了一个完整立体的黑人世界。

……是我十几岁时读的一本书，现在我还会隔三差五拿出来重读。它真该被列为必读书目。小说方面，推荐科马克·麦卡锡的《血色子午线》、马尔克斯的《百年孤独》，还有托妮·莫里森的《所罗门之歌》（或者说托妮·莫里森的任何作品都可以，全都绝了）。另外，一行禅师对《心经》的英译解读书《彼岸》（The Other Shore），让我对自己的禅修有了深得多的理解……
…book I read as a teenager, and I still go back and reread it every so often. It should be required reading. For fiction, “Blood Meridian” by Cormac McCarthy, “100 Years of Solitude” by Marquez, and “Song of Solomon” by Toni Morrison (or really anything by Toni Morrison, it’s all amazing). Also, Thich Nhat Hanh’s translation of the Heart Sutra, “The Other Shore”, gave me a much deeper understanding of my meditative…
……是他这批作品里最“科幻”的一本，但我其实不太会把它归为科幻。其他极佳的入门作还有《猫的摇篮》、《黑夜母亲》，当然少不了《五号屠场》。托妮·莫里森的书我只读过一本《所罗门之歌》，但那是我今年最喜欢的读物之一。要是你还没读过《弗兰肯斯坦》或《德古拉》，那我强烈推荐。我个人对《弗兰肯斯坦》的喜爱程度远超自己的预期……
…his most "sci-fi" of the bunch but I wouldn't really call it sci-fi. Other great starting points are Cat's Cradle, Mothernight, and of course Slaughterhouse Five. I've only read one Toni Morrison book, Song of Solomon, but that was one of my favorite reads of this year. If you haven't read Frankenstein or Dracula then I would highly recommend them. I personally enjoyed Frankenstein much more than I thought I would.…
我刚读完《所罗门之歌》。托妮·莫里森的大名不用多说，而这本书简直就是一场让人无法抗拒的情感与哲思风暴。目前在读《莎士比亚书店访谈录》（The Shakespeare and Company Book of Interviews）。莎士比亚书店……
I just finished "Song of Solomon". Toni Morrison needs no introduction, and the book is simply an irresistible whirlwind of emotions and lessons. Currently reading "The Shakespeare and Company Book of Interviews." Shakespeare and Co.…
……推荐了托妮·莫里森，并且笃定地认为在她去年去世之前，她就是还在世的最伟大的作家。在我心里，她大概会永远稳坐那个头把交椅，无人能及。去读读《秀拉》、《所罗门之歌》、《宠儿》或者《最蓝的眼睛》吧。她的作品会让你成为一个更好的人。
…suggested Toni Morrison and held without a doubt that she was the greatest living writer until her passing last year. She'll likely always hold that top spot in my mind, no one can compare. Go read "Sula" or "Song of Solomon" or "Beloved" or "The Bluest Eye". Her work will make you a better human.
我们在高三英语课上读了她的《所罗门之歌》。那是这门课里我最喜欢的书之一，另一本是《第二十二条军规》。我觉得自己当年可能连书里内容的100%的一半都没真正读懂，但她的文字实在太抓人了……
We read her book Song of Solomon in my senior high school English class. It was one of my favorites of the class, along with Catch-22. I don't think I really got even close to 100% of what it was about, but her writing was just so gripping…
……句子用得极其精准。有时这样会产生一种类似珠宝般的精致质感——一种紧绷感，而这正是我在《秀拉》里特别想要的。后来我写完了《秀拉》，在写第三本书《所罗门之歌》时，鲍勃对我说：你可以放松一点，放开一点。你的文字不必收得那么紧，可以写得更开阔。我不确定这是不是他的原话，但我知道这些话带来的结果是……
…sentence is exactly the right one. Sometimes that produces a kind of precious, jeweled quality—a tightness, which I particularly wanted in Sula. Then after I finished Sula and was working on the third book, Song of Solomon, Bob said to me, You can loosen, open up. Your writing doesn’t have to be so contained; it can be wider. I’m not sure these were his exact words, but I know that the consequence of the remarks was that…
