导读

故事的场景设置在二十世纪的南加州，内容几乎都是一个北方观光客和几个不同的南方人之间长长的讨论。作者对上层阶级的白种南方人的窘境流露出了同情，因为南方人认为在内战后他们失去了完整的生活方式。作者讨厌的观点由此而生：南方人自吹自擂式的荣誉和浪漫主义实在太难以忍受了。

内容简介

故事的场景设置在二十世纪的南加州，故事表达了作者对上层阶级的白种南方人的同情，因为南方人认为在内战后他们失去了完整的生活方式。

Set in the early 1900s in South Carolina, it is basically a long discussion between a Northern visitor and several different Southerners. Wister shows much sympathy for the plight of the upper echelon white Southerners who felt they lost a complete way of life after the Civil War. This is where Wister's lousy viewpoint comes in: it's really hard to stomach all the ballyhooing over Southern honor and Romanticism. Only Wister's talent as a writer allows him to get away with it.
