书籍简介

这部惊世骇俗、引人入胜的故事集，展现了小说界一颗冉冉升起的新星，表象与意图往往并非表面所见。

一位感应者利用她与动物沟通的天赋，策划了一场复仇。一块石头像护身符一样出现在一位女士的口袋里，后来却卡在了她伴侣的喉咙里。一位傲慢的艺术家，认为他的女友过于循规蹈矩，举办了一场晚宴，却在晚宴上听到了一个痛苦而又意义深远的真相。

杰西·吉布森为我们带来了十二个引人深思、别具一格的故事，探讨了感知和可能性的极限。故事中的男男女女直面矛盾的力量：美貌可能变得丑陋，显赫可能跌落神坛，天才也可能被揭穿是骗子。

《好眼力》犀利、幽默、出人意料且极具原创性，宣告了当代小说界一颗耀眼新星的诞生。

Startling, spellbinding stories, in which appearances and intentions are rarely what they seem from an exciting new voice in fiction.

A psychic harnesses her talent for animal communication to extract a perfect revenge. A stone appears in a woman’s pocket like a charm, only to end up lodged in her partner’s throat. A condescending artist, who considers his girlfriend too conventional, throws a dinner party where he’s served a painful and consequential truth.

Jess Gibson brings us twelve probing, sideways tales that wrestle with the limits of perception and possibility. The men and women in her stories confront contradictory forces: the beautiful can turn grotesque, the exalted can fall into disgrace, the genius can be proved an impostor.

Sharp, funny, surprising, and utterly original, The Good Eye announces a brilliant new voice in contemporary fiction.
