Sebastian Barry
作者丨塞巴斯蒂安·巴里
In this riff on the American frontier genre, narrator Thomas McNulty and his sweetheart John Cole live through a series of trials: performing as women in a saloon, fighting in the Indian and Civil Wars, escaping random attacks in Postbellum South and avoiding being caught as gay lovers. Their story is both simple and strikingly choreographed.

No.4 Manhattan Beach 《曼哈頓海灘》
Jennifer Egan
作者丨 詹妮弗·伊根
The Pulitzer Prize winner's new novel, seven years after A Visit From the Good Squad,marks a move away from the experimental—this is a straight historical novel, set mainly during World War II. The book's heroine, Anna Kerrigan, is a character perfectly calibrated for Hollywood, with verve, vulnerability, and a tough-as-nails glamour that transitions from her job as the first female diver to work on war ships to her nights in gangster-filled night clubs.
普利策獎獲得者的新作，這是一部故事主要發生在第二次世界大戰期間的直白的歷史小說。小說的女主角安娜·克里根（Anna Kerrigan）是一位魅力十足的好萊塢演員，她神秘、脆弱、冷酷無情，但後來她經歷了不同的工作，從第一位在戰艦上工作的女潛水員到在黑幫聚集的夜總會工作，不同的人生經歷，又有哪些不一樣的人生感悟？
No.3 Transit《過境》
Rachel Cusk
作者丨蕾切爾·卡斯克
Cusk's second novel in a planned trilogy goes minimal on plot, maximal on observation. The plot structure in the book is the renovation of the narrator's London flat, and the spirit of transformation is mirrored in her conversations: With her contractors, her friends, her old flame. Through elegant meditations on contemporary life, Cusk's depiction of her narrator is not so much portrait as a photo negative—mysterious, poetic and in contrast to her world.
Cusk計劃三部曲的第二部小說，情節細微，觀察深刻。 本書情節主要圍繞敘述者翻新倫敦公寓展開，在她與承包商、朋友，舊情人的談話中都體現了改變的精神。通過對當代生活的優雅沉思，Cusk對主人公的描述更像是一張照片底片，神秘而充滿詩意，與她的世界形成鮮明對比。
No.2 White Tears《白色眼淚》
Hari Kunzru
作者｜哈里·昆茲魯
The British novelist skewers American culture in this treatise on whiteness and cultural appropriation. Two young white men breaking into the music industry find success when they record random noises in a New York City park and discover the voice of a man who wasn't there. They pass the recording off as a rediscovered blues song—only to learn their lie may be accidentally based in reality. The hunt for the truth takes them on an unnerving journey through the past.
英國小說家 Hari Kunzru在這部關於白人和文化挪用的著作中串聯了美國文化。 兩個剛進入音樂圈的年輕白人在紐約市公園錄下隨機噪聲，憑此獲得成功，但他們在錄音中發現一個不在那裡的男人的聲音。 他們聲稱這是1920年代的一位藍調音樂家丟失的錄音—結果卻發現他們的謊言可能恰好是現實存在的， 為了尋找真相，他們踏上了一段回到過去的不安旅程。
No.1 Sing, Unburied, Sing《唱吧，未埋葬者，唱吧》
Jesmyn Ward
作者丨傑斯敏·沃德
Ward's third book set in the fictional town of Bois Sauvage, based on her hometown of DeLisle, Miss., conjures the same raw emotion of her previous works, like the Hurricane Katrina novel Salvage the Bones. But this time, a sense of magical realism deepens the ghostly sense of the past reaching out to touch—or even strangle—the present. Ward's novel is a true triple threat, expert in prose, human observation and social commentary.
沃德的第三本書，故事背景設置在虛構小鎮布瓦蘇韋（Bois Sauvage），小說是以她的故鄉德萊斯（DeLisle）為基礎創作的。這本書延續了她之前作品的原始情感，不過這一次， 魔幻現實主義風格更加鮮明，加深了過去觸摸甚至扼殺現在的恐怖感覺。 沃德的小說是真正的"三面手”，無論在散文抒情、人類觀察和社會評論方面都很擅長，也因此兩度榮獲國際大獎，相信會給你帶來不一樣驚喜。
