MRS. LINCOLN AND MRS. KECKLY(ISBN=9780767902595) 英文原版 下载 pdf 电子版 epub 免费 txt 2025

　　A vibrant social history set against the backdrop of the

Antebellum south and the Civil War that recreates the lives and

friendship of two exceptional women: First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln

and her mulatto dressmaker, Elizabeth Keckly.

“I consider you my best living friend,” Mary Lincoln wrote to

Elizabeth Keckly in 1867, and indeed theirs was a close, if

tumultuous, relationship. Born into slavery, mulatto Elizabeth

Keckly was Mary Lincoln’s dressmaker, confidante, and mainstay

during the difficult years that the Lincolns occupied the White

House and the early years of Mary’s widowhood. But she was a

fascinating woman in her own right, independent and already

well-established as the dressmaker to the Washington elite when she

was first hired by Mary Lincoln upon her arrival in the nation’s

capital. Lizzy had bought her freedom in 1855 and come to

Washington determined to make a life for herself as a free black,

and she soon had Washington correspondents reporting that “stately

carriages stand before her door, whose haughty owners sit before

Lizzy docile as lambs while she tells them what to wear.” Mary

Lincoln had hired Lizzy in part because she was considered a “high

society” seamstress and Mary, an outsider in Washington’s social

circles, was desperate for social cachet. With her husband

struggling to keep the nation together, Mary turned increasingly to

her seamstress for companionship, support, and advice—and over the

course of those trying years, Lizzy Keckly became her confidante

and closest friend.

With Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Keckly, pioneering historian Jennifer

Fleischner allows us to glimpse the intimate dynamics of this

unusual friendship for the first time, and traces the pivotal

events that enabled these two women—one born to be a mistress, the

other to be a slave—to forge such an unlikely bond at a time when

relations between blacks and whites were tearing the nation apart.

Beginning with their respective childhoods in the slaveholding

states of Virginia and Kentucky, their story takes us through the

years of tragic Civil War, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln,

and the early Reconstruction period. An author in her own right,

Keckly wrote one of the most detailed biographies of Mary Lincoln

ever published, and though it led to a bitter feud between the

friends, it is one of the many rich resources that have enhanced

Fleischner’s trove of original findings.

A remarkable, riveting work of scholarship that reveals the

legacy of slavery and sheds new light on the Lincoln White House,

Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Keckly brings to life a mesmerizing, intimate

aspect of Civil War history, and underscores the inseparability of

black and white in our nation’s heritage.

  『我想记忆的分叉数量可不止AB两种选择的珊瑚礁』

  第148届芥川奖获奖作品，同时也是第24届早稻田文学新人奖作品，可其实不太好读。

  说是短篇散文式的小说，它又太轻太飘渺；说是意识流的类型，它又显得实验文学了一点。倒是感觉有点像之前读阿兰·罗伯-格里耶《快照集》的感觉，一查，作者还真是收到了法国新小说派的影响。

  那的确不太容易，这个类型的作品我觉得其实在国内挺冷门的，甚至属于难啃那一卦，阿兰的《快照集》薄薄一本小册子读了我近三个小时，《ab删除》不过53,000字，也用了近两个小时的时间。天知道如果真的是读那些小说，我加把劲赶kpi的话一小时冲十万字也完全没问题。

  

  四个短篇故事，每一则都很轻盈。像是拼凑了人物的日常，你也不太明白这些日常想要表达的是什么。直到最后，从一个日常走向另一种人生，在那个节点的人生阶段，突然明白了当下意义力量的那种感觉。记忆在时间的过往中叠加、交叉，像是《星际穿越》中站在四维空间中可以拨动时间的魔法一样，可整个人的身子都是在空气中轻飘飘的。

  读完之后仿佛抓不到故事的内核一样。

  太邈远的故事。
