书籍简介

一名女子邀请一位著名的艺术家访问她居住的偏远沿海地区，她相信这位艺术家的眼光会洞悉她生活和风景的奥秘。在一个炎热的夏天里，他引人注目的存在为研究女性命运和男性特权、人类关系的几何以及我们内在和外在世界之间道德上生存的斗争提供了框架。通过对艺术既能拯救我们又能毁灭我们的可能性的考察，《第二名》是对人类灵魂的深刻肯定，同时也在与最黑暗的灵魂作斗争。

A woman invites a famed artist to visit the remote coastal region where she lives, in the belief that his vision will penetrate the mystery of her life and landscape. Over the course of one hot summer, his provocative presence provides the frame for a study of female fate and male privilege, of the geometries of human relationships, and of the struggle to live morally between our internal and external worlds. With its examination of the possibility that art can both save and destroy us, Second Place is deeply affirming of the human soul, while grappling with its darkest demons.
