书籍简介

“格罗夫让我们想起我们周围无数的人类星系，它们闪耀着光芒，旋转着，最终消失在黑暗之中。”——梅丽莎·哈里森，《大麦丛中》作者

我们优秀的作家之一劳伦·格罗夫携全新短篇小说集回归，这是她继获奖畅销书《佛罗里达》之后的第一部作品。

这九个故事的时间跨度从20世纪50年代至今，跨越年龄、阶级和地域——从新英格兰到佛罗里达再到加利福尼亚——它们都围绕着一个共同的主题：每个人内心深处光明与黑暗的永恒斗争。

卷入这场斗争的人物包括：一位突然要承担起照顾残疾弟妹责任的年轻女子；一位脾气暴躁、需要成年人引导的高中游泳运动员；一位因失去家人而失明的母亲；以及一位继承了另一种遗产的银行家继承人。在爱的驱使下，在人性的弱点阻碍下，他们努力在力所能及的范围内做出正确的选择。

《斗士》精准、出人意料且引人深思，其核心是对人性的深刻洞察，揭示了爱与恐惧、同情与暴力、理性与本能、利他主义与生存之间反复出现的裂痕。这是当今杰出的短篇小说家之一的永恒杰作。

"Groff reminds us of the myriad human galaxies around us, spinning off brightly into the dark." MELISSA HARRISON, author of All Among the Barley

One of our best writers, Lauren Groff returns with a fierce new story collection, her first since the award-winning and bestselling Florida.

Ranging from the 1950s to the present day and moving across age, class, and region - from New England to Florida to California - these nine stories reflect and expand upon a single shared theme: the ceaseless battle between the dark and light in all of us.

Among those caught in this match are a young woman suddenly responsible for her disabled sibling; a hot-tempered high school swimmer in need of an adult; a mother blinded by the loss of her family; and a banking scion endowed with a different kind of inheritance. Motivated by love, impeded by human fallibility, they try to do the right thing for as long as they can.

Precise, surprising and provocative, anchored by profound insight into human nature, Brawler reveals the repeated fracture points between love and fear, compassion and violence, reason and instinct, altruism and survival. It is a timeless, stunning achievement from one of the very best short story writers working today.
