书籍简介

”他写的东西我都读。每次他写的书，我都读。每次他写的文章，我都会看......他是个国宝。”瑞秋-麦道

帕特里克-拉登-基夫的作品获得了各种奖项，从美国的国家杂志奖和国家书评人协会奖到英国的奥威尔奖，他的作品对人们的许多不良行为进行了细致的报道，具有催眠作用。《盗贼》汇集了他在《纽约客》上有名的十几篇文章。正如基夫在序言中所说："它们反映了我一些持久的关注：犯罪和腐败、秘密和谎言、分隔合法和非法世界的可渗透的薄膜、家庭的纽带、否认的力量。

基夫出色地探索了伪造15万美元的陈年葡萄酒的复杂性，研究了一个敢于揭露瑞士银行洗钱行为的举报人是英雄还是骗子，与安东尼-布尔丹一起在越南度过了一段时间，记录了扳倒一个开朗的国际黑市军火商的追求，并介绍了一个热情的死刑律师，他代表了 "坏的人"，以及其他文学新闻的勇敢作品。

他的名字出现在《纽约客》上总是一件大事，在这里，读者可以看到他的作品构成了一幅总是令人着迷但又深入人心的罪犯和流氓的肖像，以及那些站出来反对他们的人。

'I read everything he writes. Every time he writes a book, I read it. Every time he writes an article, I read it . . . he's a national treasure.' Rachel Maddow

Patrick Radden Keefe's work has garnered prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award in the US to the Orwell Prize in the UK for his meticulously reported, hypnotically engaging work on the many ways people behave badly. Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from the New Yorker. As Keefe says in his preface: 'They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial.'

Keefe brilliantly explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines, examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist, spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain, chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black-market arms merchant, and profiles a passionate death-penalty attorney who represents the 'worst of the worst', among other bravura works of literary journalism.

The appearance of his byline in the New Yorker is always an event, and collected here for the first time readers can see his work forms an always enthralling but deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up against them.
