A Thousand Ships Goodreads
Harper 2021 - 1
<i>This is the women’s war, just as much as it is the men’s. They have waited long enough for their turn . . .</i><br /><br />This was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of them all . . .<br /><br />In the middle of the night, a woman wakes to find her beloved city engulfed in flames. Ten seemingly endless years of conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans are over. Troy has fallen.<br /><br />From the Trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all, these are the stories of the women whose lives, loves, and rivalries were forever altered by this long and tragic war. <br /><br />A woman’s epic, powerfully imbued with new life, A Thousand Ships puts the women, girls and goddesses at the center of the Western world’s great tale ever told.

这本怎么说呢就是挺可惜的……立意非常好,由掌管史诗的缪斯Calliope亲口重述特洛伊战争,也真的讲述了和特洛伊战争相关的每一个女性的故事,涵盖了女人、女神、宁芙等不同视角,非常有野心地想要写就女性视角的特洛伊史诗,实际上角色塑造也很好,每个女人都鲜活生动,性格鲜明,Cassandra、Penelope和Clytemnestra尤其令人印象深刻,还有作为叙述者的Calliope,坚定、尖锐、智慧,又不乏幽默感,叙述中的愤怒和不甘令我心有戚戚焉……以上都是优点,然而缺点也实在是令人难以忽视……这本里的大多数故事虽然是女性视角,但仍然讲着男人的故事,尤其是金苹果的故事真的是从三个女神的视角写了个比美互扯头花抢苹果的故事我真满脑子问号……作者让女性从被沉默失声的背景板变成了有血有肉有声音的叙述者,却仍然没能站在聚光灯下讲述自己的故事……其实可以理解这种叙述方法,但仍然觉得可惜,并无法觉得女性从被忽略变成叙述者讲述同样的故事就是合格的“女性主义重述”,缺少女人的动机和能动性,缺少和男性叙事中对女性形象的不同解读,这种“重述”依然是隔靴搔痒,每个女人都有自己的无奈和悲剧,但真正的结构性的重压却几乎未被触及,属实可惜
