书籍简介

出自《纽约时报》畅销书榜前作家、两届普利策奖得主科尔森·怀特黑德之手，这部妙趣横生的小说将上世纪八十年代的纽约栩栩如生地呈现在读者眼前，令人难忘。

纽约市正从经济崩溃和衰落中复苏，蓬勃发展的房地产开发和摆脱里根时代掠夺性资本主义束缚的华尔街为其注入了新的活力。在哈莱姆区，成功的商人兼销赃高手雷·卡尼刚刚被评为斯特林家具公司的月度专业经销商。然而，当银行拒绝向他心爱的妻子伊丽莎白的新旅行社提供贷款时，卡尼孤注一掷，决定进行后面一次抢劫，却意外地卷入了一场与传奇犯罪天才的纠葛之中。

在一些人眼中，卡尼的朋友兼犯罪搭档佩珀是个冷酷无情的危害公共的人格者；而在另一些人眼中，他只是个人际交往能力欠佳的窃贼。无论如何，他都已感受到岁月的痕迹，肠胃不适，骨骼疼痛。为了帮伊丽莎白一个忙，他接下了保镖的工作，却意外地踏入了东村艺术和夜店圈这个陌生的领域。幸运的是，无论身处上城还是下城，每个人都说着同一种暴力语言——佩珀对此了如指掌。

卡尼一直为没能救下表弟弗雷迪而耿耿于怀。如今，弗雷迪去世二十年后，他终于有机会从这座城市的暴力势力手中救出弗雷迪的儿子。但重出江湖，再次与佩珀联手，意味着他将冒着失去几十年来为家人建立的安全保障的风险，而他只有一次机会。

怀特海德以他一贯精准的文笔，描绘了一幅城市转型图景：摩天大楼拔地而起，直插云霄，而流离失所的人们则蜷缩在废弃的隧道中。 《酷机器》以令人眼花缭乱的丰富想象力，游走于纽约城的各个角落，从世界之窗到糖山，展现了在纽约以及怀特海德笔下生动人物的生活中，表象之下的东西才能揭示真相。

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Colson Whitehead, an exuberantly entertaining novel that brings 1980s New York to vivid, unforgettable life.

New York City is beginning to emerge from financial ruin and decline, energized by rampant real estate development and a Wall Street unchained by Reagan-era predatory capitalism. Up in Harlem, successful business owner/master fence Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture’s Dealer of the Month. When the banks won’t give his beloved wife, Elizabeth, a loan for her new travel agency, however, Carney gambles on one last heist, and finds himself entangled with a legendary criminal mastermind.

To some, Carney’s friend and partner in crime Pepper is a stone-cold sociopath. To others, a top thief with questionable people skills. Either way, he’s feeling his age in his troubled gut and his aching bones. When he takes on a bodyguard gig as a favor to Elizabeth, he’s plunged into the alien territory of the East Village art and club scene. Luckily for him, whether you’re uptown or down, everyone speaks the same language of violence - Pepper is a native speaker.

Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin Freddie. Now, twenty years after Freddie’s death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie’s son from the violent forces of the city. But coming out of retirement and teaming up with Pepper again will mean risking the safety and security he’s spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right.

With his usual pitch-perfect prose, Whitehead paints a portrait of a city in transition, where shimmering skyscrapers rise to the heavens as displaced people huddle in abandoned tunnels below. In a dazzling display of protean imagination, Cool Machine roves all over the city, from Windows on the World to Sugar Hill, to show that in New York, and in the lives of Whitehead’s vivid characters, it’s what’s below the surface that reveals the truth.
