书籍简介

布克奖获奖作品《通往北方的窄路》的作者创作了一本精美绝伦、打破传统流派的新书，讲述了作者的生活和家庭，以及小说在我们这个时代的作用

“这本书融合了激烈的能量、控制力和关怀，是一种奇妙的融合。这是一种清算，理查德·弗拉纳根与他的父亲和母亲，塔斯马尼亚与它的过去，日本与它的过去，作者与他自己。在我看来，这本书将对读者产生压倒性的影响。” —Colm Tóibín，《长岛》的作者

有时我想知道我们为什么总是回到起点——为什么我们要寻找那根可以解开我们称之为生活的挂毯的线​​……

从 H. G. Wells 和 Rebecca West 的 20 世纪 30 年代核物理学到 Flanagan 的父亲在原子弹爆炸时在广岛附近当奴隶劳工的爱情故事，当 Flanagan 还是个年轻人时，他发现自己被困在一条湍急的河流中，不知道自己是生是死，这一系列事件达到了裂变。

这是一曲献给他的岛上家园和父母的情歌，这个将梦想、历史、地点和记忆融合在一起的催眠故事讲述了我们的生活如何经常从他人的故事和我们自己编造的故事中产生。

An exquisite, genre-defying new book from the Booker Prize–winning author of The Narrow Road to the Deep North, a reckoning with the author’s life and family, and the role of fiction in our times

"A spectacular mixture of fierce energy and then control, care. It is a kind of reckoning, Richard Flanagan with his father and his mother, Tasmania with its past, Japan with its past, the author with himself. It seems to me a book that will have an overwhelming effect on readers.” —Colm Tóibín, author of Long Island

Sometimes I wonder why we keep returning to beginnings—why we seek the single thread we might pull to unravel the tapestry we call our life...

By way of H. G. Wells and Rebecca West’s affair through 1930s nuclear physics to Flanagan's father working as a slave laborer near Hiroshima when the atom bomb is dropped, this daisy chain of events reaches fission when Flanagan as a young man finds himself trapped in a rapid on a wild river not knowing if he is to live or to die.

At once a love song to his island home and to his parents, this hypnotic melding of dream, history, place and memory is about how our lives so often arise out of the stories of others and the stories we invent about ourselves.
