书籍介绍
当《埃涅阿斯纪》的宏大叙事里只剩一个被抹去声音的配角，勒古恩选择让林尼娅自己开口。这不是一场夺走特洛伊的战争，而是一个无名女子如何在他人写好的命运中夺回自己的笔。她曾是被诗人一笔带过的名字，如今却以清醒的意志做出选择：不被人给予，也不被人夺走，而是亲自认领自己的男人与命运。小说以她平静而锐利的自白展开，从神迹降身的惊惶，到凝视埃涅阿斯船首的凝望，再到丈夫死后漫长而隐秘的哀恸。勒古恩以返璞归真的诗意笔触，让沉默者发声，让边缘者成为中心。它适合所有在既定框架里寻找自我可能的读者——答案如水，随故事流到跟前：跟随它，便是自由。

精彩摘录
- "He didn't let me say a word. I have to take the word from him. He gave me a long life but a small one. I need room, I need air. My soul reaches out into the old forests of my Italy, up to the sunlit hills, up to the winds of the swan and the truth-speaking crow. My mother was mad, but I was not. My "
- "I do not know if the pitch scattered, or a wind blew in, or a hand moved, but I suddenly saw a strangeness all around me, a flickering movement of brightness… I put up my hands to my head and felt a queer soft movement in the air about it. Sparks danced and leapt around me, and I smelled smoke… Flam"
- "MY JUDGMENT OF TURNUS IS THAT HE COULD NOT LOOK farther than the moment. His response to emergency was instant, active, complete; where he failed and wavered was in following through, holding to a purpose. That of course is where Aeneas excelled. In emergency, at the moment of choice, Aeneas might h"
- "AS A WIFE, I NEVER FELT THAT GRIEVING ANGER THAT I USED TO feel and once spoke out to my poet in Albunea, asking why must a girl be brought up at home to live as a woman in exile… But in giving up my girl self and taking on the obligations of womanhood I found myself freer than I had ever been."
- "Go on, go. In our tongue it is a single sound, It is the last word Aeneas said. So in my mind it is spoken to me, said to me. I am the one to go, to go on. Go where? I do not know. I hear him say it, and I go. On, away. On the way. The way to go. When I stop I hear him say it, his voice, Go on."
- "I had lived with Aeneas death a long time, from the time I first saw his face, high on the ship's prow, dark in the twilight of morning, gazing up the river in prayer and eager hope."
用户评论
Lavinia有一段正好和全书吻合——如何在既定的框架下去写一个故事，如同在无法更改的命运（甚至是已知的命运）下寻找自我的可能——答案就像水一样随着故事流到跟前：跟随它，就会自由。无论是作者还是女主角，She made it. 结尾特别好，骤然飞入高空。
4.5星。「埃涅阿斯纪」的现代重写。我曾经觉得Le Guin的world building能力相交于她的叙事更好，但从这篇看来并非如此。
太美好了，这把年纪的勒古恩奶奶反而返璞归真，诗意活泼的语言简直把故事升华成了一首长诗
就是本同人嘛……
There was only one thing to do, and it was what I had done already — run. Run and hide.
本以为会是一本艰深隔阂的大书，但没想到UKL能把一个古代世界的故事写得好看而又relevant（而且其实很短！
