下面摘自纽约时报书评,普通体是书评作者对书的概括, 黑字体是书里的节选.红字是我加的.
就像书评说的pretentious.再加一句,比较变态,特别出自业余作家
“There is no mystery to happiness. Unhappy men are all alike.”
SM-theme:
There’s a hot girl strung up from the ceiling, being suffocated with a silk tie and cut with a razor while she’s coached by her abuser to moan in pleasure. Her torture is shamelessly eroticized: “She cried out, her back curved in exactly the same arch as the great windows, her raven hair flowing down her back.”
the girl is suffering from a desire to sodomize her father.--what!
“From above, Nora watched him light a cigarette in the flame of her bedside candle, place a knee against her supine form, and extinguish the glowing cigarette directly on her skin, down there, only an inch or two from her most private part.”
But, as with a jaw-droppingly bad movie, just because it’s riveting doesn’t mean it’s pleasurable.
