书籍简介

《生命之物》讲述了四位刚毕业的学生——穆尼尔、G、埃内斯托和亚历克斯——从马德里前往法国南部采摘葡萄的故事。但事情并没有按计划进行：他们最终在一家工业养鸡场工作，住在一个露营地，那里弥漫着一种普遍的威胁感。接下来是对不稳定就业、资本主义、移民和生物大规模生产的引人入胜且深刻的审视，所有这些都与主人公对文学和讲故事本质的思考交织在一起。《生命之物》是一部跨流派、反乌托邦的生态惊悚片，是罗伯托·波拉尼奥的《荒野侦探》和萨曼塔·施韦布林的《狂热之梦》的朋克式混合，预示着国际小说中令人兴奋的新声音。

Living Things follows four recent graduates – Munir, G, Ernesto and Álex – who travel from Madrid to the south of France to work the grape harvest. Except things don’t go as planned: they end up working on an industrial chicken farm and living on a campsite, where a general sense of menace takes hold. What follows is a compelling and incisive examination of precarious employment, capitalism, immigration and the mass production of living things, all interwoven with the protagonist’s thoughts on literature and the nature of storytelling. A genre-bending and dystopian eco-thriller, Living Things is a punk-like blend of Roberto Bolaño’s The Savage Detectives and Samanta Schweblin’s Fever Dream, heralding an exciting new voice in international fiction.
