书籍简介
布莱恩·道尔因脑癌去世,享年60岁。他留下了一批狂热的忠实读者,他们把他的作品视为21世纪保守得非常好的秘密之一。道尔以一种令人愉悦的惊奇感来描写日常事物的神圣性,以及爱和各种形式的联系:精神之爱、兄弟之爱、浪漫之爱,甚至是对一条九英尺高的鲟鱼的爱。当世界变得比以往任何时候都黑暗时,道尔的作品总是能唤起人们对生活的幽默甚至幸福的回忆,这是一种慰藉。
他的文章试图一次又一次地在日常生活中发现精致的美,无论是一个孩子听到河流时的敬畏,还是一个悲伤的寡妇每天早上在她的水槽中错过看到丈夫的胡须。在道尔看来,没有什么是乏味的。大卫·詹姆斯·邓肯在他对这本诗集的介绍中对道尔的情感做了很好的总结:“布莱恩·道尔每天生活在见证隐藏在小或无大小、名气或商业价值的人、地方和生物中安静的荣耀的乐趣中,他给自己的叙述带来了无限的嬉戏、翱翔、痛苦或发自内心的语言。”作为一部毕生的作品,《一曲长河》邀请读者在平凡的时刻体验喜悦和惊奇,在道尔狂喜和热情的凝视下,这些时刻变得非凡。
When Brian Doyle passed away at the age of sixty after a bout with brain cancer, he left behind a cult-like following of devoted readers who regard his writing as one of the best-kept secrets of the twenty- first century. Doyle writes with a delightful sense of wonder about the sanctity of everyday things, and about love and connection in all their forms: spiritual love, brotherly love, romantic love, and even the love of a nine-foot sturgeon. At a moment when the world can sometimes feel darker than ever, Doyle"s writing, which constantly evokes the humor and even bliss that life affords, is a balm.
His essays manage to find, again and again, exquisite beauty in the quotidian, whether it"s the awe of a child the first time she hears a river, or a hu sb and"s whiskers that a grieving widow misses seeing in her sink every morning. Through Doyle"s eyes, nothing is dull. David James Duncan sums up Doyle"s sensibilitie s b est in his introduction to the collection: "Brian Doyle lived the pleasure of bearing daily witness to quiet glories hidden in people, places and creatures of little or no size, renown, or commercial value, and he brought inimitably playful or soaring or aching or heartfelt language to his tellings." A life"s work, One Long River of Song invites readers to experience joy and wonder in ordinary moments that become, under Doyle"s rapturous and exuberant gaze, extraordinary.
