精彩摘录
- "But life hadn't come that way. Life took hold of people and forced them into flying rings."
- ""Your son's gotten to be a legend, MrsCalman- Oracle and a Man of Destiny and all that. Personally, I'm against him but I'm in a minority. What do you think of him? Are you impressed? Are yousuprised how far he's gone? “No. I'm not surprised, she said calmly. "We always expected a lot from Miles.” “"
- "The singing reached Joel vaguely; he felt happy and friendly towards all the people gathered there, people of bravery and industry, superior to a bourgeoisie that outdid them in ignorance and loose living, risen to a position of the highest prominence in a nation that for a decade had wanted only to"
- "Joel did not quite believe in picture actresses’ grief. They have other preoccupations—they are beautiful rose-gold figures blown full of life by writers and directors, and after hours they sit around and talk in whispers and giggle innuendoes, and the ends of many adventures flow through them."
- "There were Christmas trees already in the shop windows and the full moon over the boulevard was only a prop, as scenic as the giant boudoir lamps of the corners. On into the dark foliage of Beverly hills that flamed as eucalyptus by day, Joel saw only the flash of a white face under his own, the arc"
- "A woman would do a thing like that because she felt sympathetic—only a man would do it because he felt responsible."
- "He was the only American -born director with both an interesting temperament and an artistic conscience . Meshed in an industry, he had paid with his ruined nerves for having no resilience , no healthy cynicism, no refuge— only a pitiful and precarious escape."
- "Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, " makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep"

后面的几个故事比如the lees of happiness出乎意料地触动我
What a great book! Every piece of short story is very well written. I am fascinated by the author's imagination, his lively portrayal of characters and his esthetics of making the impervious capriciousness of life so much more beautiful and so much less hatable.
村上曾经说，“菲茨杰拉德是我的导师，我的大学，我的文学伙伴”，他说的是真的。
Fitzgerald 脑残粉。前两篇在The Tales of Jazz Age 里读过，后面几篇里最喜欢A Rich Boy。A genius singlehandedly buried my wishful thinking about love and marriage.
才知道是了不起的盖茨比的作者，但也一样不喜欢这样的时代风格明显充斥着虚幻感情也都是表现了不好的一面。故事都透露着从civial war到gilded age时期美国的繁华和奢靡，每个主角基本都是yale、stanford名校毕业然后投身wall street，出身豪门又或者成为金矿主儿子的朋友，没一个出身贫寒靠自己奋斗到达成功的故事，全都是先天就优人一等。本以为爱情在里面也是很虚幻，只是一种故事或是时代装饰的东西，像返老还童里的喜新厌旧、the rich boy里面的出轨背叛玩弄感情，但也像了不起的盖茨比里面盖茨和黛西的爱情，这里面也有the lees of happiness女主角对瘫痪丈夫的长久细致照顾。也有正直踏实的故事像the four fists里面通过别人的拳头认识自己避免错误。
补标
因为在二楼的研习室太冷了于是上到十楼，在文学那一栏发现了这本书，花了一早晨在九楼的阳光下看完。
读完《返老还童》才认识到，大卫芬奇简直是鬼才，改编后的剧本比起原著高明了太多。而《富家子弟》这篇反而给我的触动不大，之前读中文版可是十分震撼了。语言障碍如山海，还是要好好磨练。the rich boy：Perhaps they promised that there would always be women in the world who would spend their brightest, freshest, rarest hours to nurse and protect that superiority he cherished in his heart.
