用户评论
“Our lives are strands between the miracles of birth and death.” Glück在第一本诗集就已对词语的排列组合有了出人意表的丰盛想象力，轻易勾勒出边缘人物落拓的肖像，就好像车窗外匆匆瞥见的身影，面目模糊而惆怅。尤其喜爱关于Nantucket那一首。the aftermath of love, hopeless, pitiless, merciless.（越往后越好，读诗集竟也读出渐进的兴奋感）
勉勉强强吧。太年轻了。
格吕克曾经说过，不要从我的第一本书开始读，unless they want to feel contempt. 但其实并没有那么糟。诗人自己给这本书风格的定义是embarrassed tenderness，说得也非常精准，比如开篇火车上看到孩子头上蠕动的虱子，火车上冲马桶，母亲烤肉串时候绷紧的皮肤，汤里的洋葱片像奥菲莉亚，圆月似阿司匹林......其实就是格吕克的"尴尬美学"嘛。可惜后面她就转换风格了。(另外跑偏地说一句，张爱玲的小说也有点"尴尬美学"的特质：人情世故，反高潮，巅峰就是《小团圆》)
