  Part 1宛如让人微醺的低度数鸡尾酒，Part 2叙事温度骤降，像冬天站在阳台上迎头吹冷风，醉意全醒。理解David的钥匙落在the fire next time中。作为美国白人，David无能面对现实，消极逃避，随波逐流，最终破罐破摔，成为精神上的死人，而Giovanni虽然最终同样走向毁灭，却对自己感受到的爱、恨和痛苦有着精确的把握。“It is the responsibility of free men to trust and to celebrate what is constant — birth, struggle, and death are constant, and so is love...” — the fire next time

  写得真好。读的时候就在想，Giovanni是多好的一个男孩；看到他的一些话会觉得很可爱，David真是狠心。语言超级细腻。觉得全书最甜的就是和初恋（Joey）的那段了。因为那个时候还没有意识到禁忌，产生负罪感，描写的画面就特别美好，没有那种bitter的感觉。（拍成电影肯定精彩）

  What happened was that, all unconscious of what this ennui meant, I wearied of the blunt, bluff, hearty, and totally meaningless friendships, wearied of wandering through the forests of desperate women, wearied of the work which fed me only in the most brutally literal sense. Perhaps, as we say in America, I wanted to find my self. This is an interesting phrase, not current as far as I know in the language of any other people, which certainly does not mean what it says but betrays a nagging suspicion that something has been misplaced. I think now that if I had had any intimation that the self I was going to find would turn out to be only the same self from which I had spent so much time in flight, I would have stayed at home.

  I had said it lightly, with a smile, out of a desire to put myself in terms of an acquaintance with wintry things, on an equal footing with him. But the fact that I had said it as he held me hand made it sound to me unutterably helpless and soft and coy.

  I loved her as much as ever and I still did not know how much that was.
