Mother's Milk内容简介

Writing with the scathing wit and bright perceptiveness for which he has become known, celebrated English author Edward St. Aubyn creates a complex family portrait that examines the shifting allegiances between mothers, sons, and husbands. The novel's perspective ricochets among all members of the Melrose family -- the family featured in St. Aubyn's widely praised trilogy, Some Hope -- starting with Robert, who provides an exceptionally droll and convincing account of being born; to Patrick, a hilariously churlish husband who has been sexually abandoned by his wife in favor of his sons; to Mary, who's consumed by her children and overwhelming desire not to repeat the mistakes of her own mother.

热门摘录

为今之计,只有快刀斩乱麻,跟她断绝关系,就当这是夏日的一段风流韵事,而不能任其演变为一场如火如荼的婚外情。但糟糕的是,事态已经失去控制。他只有和她上床的时候,进入她身体的时候,在她体内射精的时候,才会心情愉悦。他跪在地板上,她坐在扶椅上,抬高膝盖,叉开腿,那感觉太棒了。下着雷雨的夜晚,空气中满是自由的离子,她伫立窗前,对着闪电屏住呼吸,而他则站在身后……谢天谢地,他要的白兰地来了。

The past has all the time in the world. It's only the future which is runnign out. (said Patrick)

Why give the standing of a nation state to a few hundred homicidal maniacs, unless you’re going to use them as the pretext to make war with some real nation states?

一行人同时挪动了脚步。玛格丽特戴着遮阳帽走在前头。罗伯特的父母拖着行李勉强跟在后面。他们要带他去外面走走,去见见阳光。他很惊讶,原来世界也是一间产房,到处能听见生命的呐喊。树枝在攀援,树叶在颤动,一团团浓密的积雨云在飘移,消散的云边在洒满阳光的天上舒卷着。他能感觉到母亲的思绪,他能感觉到父亲的思绪,他能感觉到玛格丽特的思绪。

对当事人而言,所有性爱都是卖淫。商业意义上也许未必如此,但在更深的词源学意义上,他们的确都是某种替代品。有时真真假假,连续几周或者几个月,你都以为欲望对象就是床上那个人。然而,潜在的欲望模式并不会因此停止消散;它早晚会漂离它幻觉的家园。

出于职业的好奇,约翰尼最近参加了一次同学聚餐。回来后,他把情况全告诉了帕特里克。当年球队首发出场的队长,现在已经嗜毒成瘾。那一届最聪明的学生,如今混迹于公家单位,完全埋没了他的才华。加雷斯·威廉姆斯没来参加聚餐,因为他住进了精神病院。而他们当中最“有出息”的同龄人,现在是一家商业银行的行长,但约翰尼却说,这人“根本就通不过测谎检查”。约翰尼很重视这项检查,因为在他眼里,这可以断定此人到底是不是一个人渣。
