Джексон, Шерли цитаты

Ше́рли Дже́ксон, или Ширли Джексон — писательница, классик американской литературы XX века. Более всего известна рассказом «Лотерея» и романом «Призрак дома на холме» . Под её влиянием находились Ричард Матесон и Стивен Кинг.

Несмотря на несколько написанных романов, получивших хвалебные отзывы критиков и читательский интерес, её наиболее известным произведением является рассказ «Лотерея», в котором описана неприглядная изнанка сельского городка в Америке. Линемайя Фридман, автор критической биографии Шерли Джексон, отмечает, что «Лотерея», опубликованная в номере The New Yorker за 26 июня 1948 года, получила такие отклики, которые «не получал ни один рассказ журнала The New Yorker». Посыпались сотни писем, которые, по словам самой Джексон, можно квалифицировать, как «потрясение, спекуляции и старомодные нападки».

В выпуске San Francisco Chronicle от 22 июля 1948 года Джексон опубликовала ответ на непрекращающиеся вопросы читателей о её замыслах:

Объяснить то, что я рассчитывала сказать этим рассказом, очень сложно. Думаю, я надеялась, воссоздав древние жестокие ритуалы в настоящем, да ещё в моём родном городке, вызвать шок у читателей рассказа наглядным изображением бессмысленной жестокости и всеобщей бесчеловечности в их собственных жизнях.

Супруг Джексон, литературный критик Стэнли Эдгар Хейман, писал в предисловии к посмертному сборнику её рассказов, что она «систематически отказывалась давать интервью, комментировать или популяризировать свои работы каким-либо образом, публично выступать или быть обозревателем воскресных приложений газет. Она верила, что её книги с годами расскажут о ней достаточно ясно». Хейман утверждал, что мрачные аспекты книг Джексон не были, как утверждают некоторые критики, следствием «личных, более того невротических фантазий», а задумывались Джексон для отображения всех человеческих страхов эпохи холодной войны, как «деликатная и достоверная анатомия нашего времени, точно соответствующая символам нашего тревожного мира концентрационных лагерей и бомб».

Контексте: This house, which seemed somehow to have formed itself, flying together into its own powerful pattern under the hands of its builders, fitting itself into its own construction of lines and angles, reared its great head back against the sky without concession to humanity. It was a house without kindness, never meant to be lived in, not a fit place for people or for love or for hope. Exorcism cannot alter the countenance of a house; Hill House would stay as it was until it was destroyed.

“The children assembled first, of course. School was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play.”

“No human eye can isolate the unhappy coincidence of line and place which suggests evil in the face of a house, and yet somehow a maniac juxtaposition, a badly turned angle, some chance meeting of roof and sky, turned Hill House into a place of despair, more frightening because the face of Hill House seemed awake, with a watchfulness from the blank windows and a touch of glee in the eyebrow of a cornice.”

“Old Man Warner snorted. "Pack of crazy fools, he said. "Listening to the young folks, nothing's good enough for them. Next thing you know, they'll be wanting to go back to living in caves, nobody work any more, live that way for a while. Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.' First thing you know, we'd all be eating stewed chickweed and acorns. There's always been a lottery," he added petulantly.”

“One of the most terrifying aspects of publishing stories and books is the realization that they are going to be read, and read by strangers. I had never fully realized this before, although I had of course in my imagination dwelt lovingly upon the thought of the millions and millions of people who were going to be uplifted and enriched and delighted by the stories I wrote. It had simply never occurred to me that these the millions and millions of people might be so far from being uplifted that they would sit down and write me letters I was downright scared to open; of the three-hundred-odd letters that I received that summer I can count only thirteen that spoke kindly to me, and they were mostly from friends. Even my mother scolded me: "Dad and I did not care at all for your story in The New Yorker," she wrote sternly; "it does seem, dear, that this gloomy kind of story is what all you young people think about these days. Why don't you write something to cheer people up?"”

“Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal company office. Bill Hutchinson held it up, and there was a stir in the crowd.”

“Explaining just what I had hoped the story to say is very difficult. I suppose, I hoped, by setting a particularly brutal ancient rite in the present and in my own village to shock the story's readers with a graphic dramatization of the pointless violence and general inhumanity in their own lives.”
