THE TALLONS (LIBRARY ALABAMA CLASSICS)
Book ID/图书代码： 06000015B79339
English Summary/英文概要： In The Tallons, the second book in his “Pearl County” series, William March continues to hone his distinctive style but for the first time creates a work that follows a continuous, linear narrative. Here, March’s masterful development of the theme of jealousy highlights his growing maturity and ambition as a writer.
Set in a rural Alabama backwater, The Tallons tells the story of two farm boys, Andrew and Jim Tallon. Their placid and predictable life is upended by a girl from Georgia, Myrtle Bickerstaff. The conflict which engulfs these three is built up from a series of carefully chosen and extraordinarily telling incidents to a dramatic climax which will be remembered long after the book is set aside.
March framed the novel as “a study in paranoia” and to the end of his life considered it one of his strongest works.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《塔隆兄弟》是《珍珠县》系列的第二部小说，本书中，作者延续了其独特的写作风格，但首次尝试了连续的、线性的叙事手法，他对嫉妒这一主题精准的描写以及情节展开出色的把控显示了其作为一名作家的成熟及抱负。
小说以阿拉巴马闭塞的乡村为背景，讲述了两名牧场兄弟安德鲁•塔隆和吉姆•塔隆的故事，他们原本平凡宁静的生活因为一名来自佐治亚州的女孩而发生了翻天覆地的变化，三人之间的纠葛与冲突，从精挑细选的事件发展，到最后戏剧般的高潮，令读者久久不能忘怀。
作者在其垂暮之年时，将这部小说看作是他一生中写得最棒的小说之一。（LYR）
Awards/获奖情况：“March作品最突出的优点就在于没有大段大段多愁善感及乏味的浪漫主义描写，而是通过轻描淡写的措辞体现出其非凡的文学天赋。”——《纽约时报》
“The outstanding virtues of March’s work are those of complete lack of sentimentality and routine romanticism, of a dramatic gift constantly heightened and sharpened by eloquence of understatement.”—New York Times

He experienced a conventional southern childhood in the small towns of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. After some years of studying law at the University of Alabama and later at Valparaiso University, March enlisted in the US Marine Corps and saw action in some of its hardest campaigning in World War I in France. As a result of his actions specifically during an assault on Blanc Mont, March received the French Croix de Guerre and both the Distinguished Service Cross and the Navy Cross for valor. After the war, he authored Company K, whose success allowed him to devote himself to writing a large body of short stories, and a series of remarkable novels.
