书籍简介
在这个基于真实历史文献的悲惨故事中,我们跟随“妇科精神病学之父”塞拉斯·威尔博士的职业生涯,了解他从专业默默无闻到全国闻名的历程。 威尔因程序严重错误而感到羞辱,被迫在他统治的新泽西州女性疯子收容所任职。 在那里,他被允许继续他的实践,几十年来不受限制,通过关注那些被国家忽视的女性——他让这些女性接受怪诞的实验模式——而为自己赢得了名声。 当威尔开始将自己确立为十九世纪外科手术的先驱时,他对一位名叫布里吉特的年轻爱尔兰契约仆人的痴迷更加激发了他的野心,布里吉特不仅成为威尔的主要实验对象,而且也成为了他毁灭的代理人。
《屠夫》由塞拉斯·威尔的长子讲述,他否认父亲的残酷遗产,是虚构与事实的独特结合,是一场穿越美国心灵黑暗领域的噩梦之旅,在其令人震惊的结局中,与意想不到的浪漫结合在一起。 乔伊斯·卡罗尔·奥茨再次写出了一部引人入胜的小说,证实了她作为美国有名想象力家之一的地位。
In this harrowing story based on authentic historical documents, we follow the career of Dr. Silas Weir, "Father of Gyno-Psychiatry," as he ascends from professional anonymity to national renown. Humiliated by a procedure gone terribly wrong, Weir is forced to take a position at the New Jersey Asylum for Female Lunatics, where he reigns. There, he is allowed to continue his practice, unchecked for decades, making a name for himself by focusing on women who have been neglected by the state--women he subjects to the most grotesque modes of experimentation. As he begins to establish himself as a pioneer of nineteenth-century surgery, Weir's ambition is fueled by his obsessive fascination with a young Irish indentured servant named Brigit, who becomes not only Weir's primary experimental subject, but also the agent of his destruction.
Narrated by Silas Weir's eldest son, who has repudiated his father's brutal legacy, Butcher is a unique blend of fiction and fact, a nightmare voyage through the darkest regions of the American psyche conjoined, in its startling conclusion, with unexpected romance. Once again, Joyce Carol Oates has written a spellbinding novel confirming her position as one of our celebrated American visionaries of the imagination.
