偶发空缺 [Book] Douban Goodreads
The Casual Vacancy
7.6 (52 ratings) author: [英] J·K·罗琳 translator: 任战 / 向丁丁 publishing house: 人民文学出版社 2012 - 10
巴里•菲尔布拉泽在高尔夫俱乐部外的猝死掀起了帕格镇的轩然大波。以镇上第一家庭自居的莫里森家自然视空出来的议席为囊中物,可惜其他人并不这样想。整天在家里打老婆揍孩子的西蒙•普莱斯就认为他也有机会得到肥缺,还有衣冠楚楚、神经过敏的副校长“鸽笼子”•沃尔,俨然视自己为发扬死者精神的不二人选。这些男人身旁的女人也是个个出彩,都不是省油的灯,有的“卖着超大号胸罩”、对除老公之外的俊男春梦连连;也有的精神洁癖,计划干掉出轨的丈夫。
这群家境殷实、热闹非凡的帕格镇民共同的敌人是一片名为“丛地”的贫民区,那里的肮脏和堕落以妓女兼瘾君子特莉的一家为代表。在帕格镇人眼里,“丛地”就像黏在人身上的吸血蚂蝗,浪费资源,污染环境,穷人们潦倒的生活无非是咎由自取,贝尔堂戒毒所更是没有存在的必要。巴里生前竭尽全力想要帮助“丛地”,他的死亡斩断了贫富之间的联系,帕格镇开始不遗余力地想要将挖去那根眼中钉,关于议席的竞争同样也围绕着戒毒所和“丛地”本身的去留而闹得沸沸扬扬。罗琳的笔如探照灯般深入了每户人家的门后,将平静表象下的暗流涌动暴露出来。夫妻、亲子、同事、朋友、恋人,种种矛盾撕扯着小小的帕格镇,描绘出众生百态、微缩现实。

"It's just a matter of trial and error. You try something, it doesn't work. You try it another way, maybe it works even less well, or maybe it works a little bit better. It really is the dark room that Henry James describes. It's a sort of groping, and continuously trying things out, and understanding why something fails. The key is to try to understand what are the elements that are failing, and why, and then you move on to the next draft with a little bit more of clarity."
