书籍简介

迷失自我意味着什么？这是否是你应当追求的目标？

一位对游戏兴趣寥寥的年轻女子在法兰克福一家知名游戏公司找到了一份工作，天真地想要重塑自我。每天早晨通勤时，她依然沉浸在熟悉的乏味和自我厌恶之中，这时，一位眼神迷人的陌生人归还了她遗忘的雨伞。从此，她被卷入了一场令人眩晕、持续一年的痴迷漩涡——她不仅迷恋这位魅力无穷的陌生人，还沉迷于那些让她寻求慰藉的狂热卡拉OK之旅。

波莉·巴顿这部令人叹服的处女作小说，以惊人的存在主义洞察力，用一种既令人陶醉又充满自省的文笔，描绘了现代生活种种复杂的悖论，既引人入胜，又辛辣讽刺。 《我是什么，一只鹿？》回荡着惠特尼·休斯顿和治疗乐队的歌声，在黑暗闷热的盒子里追求崇高，这是一次令人兴奋的探索，探索真实性、幻想、浪漫和陶醉。

What does it mean to lose yourself - and is that something you should be aiming for?

A young woman with little interest in games takes up a job in Frankfurt at a famous gaming company, naively set on reinvention. On her morning commute, in the familiar clutches of tedium and self-loathing, she encounters a nice-eyed stranger who returns her forgotten umbrella and finds herself catapulted into a dizzying, year-long whirlwind of obsession - not just with this endlessly attractive spectre, but also with the feverish karaoke trips from which she draws the ultimate solace.

With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Barton’s formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny. Echoing with the sounds of Whitney Houston and The Cure, reaching for the sublime in dark, sweaty boxes, What Am I, A Deer? is an exhilarating exploration of authenticity, fantasy, romance and intoxication.
