书籍简介

这部小说融合了《伦敦生活》（Fleabag）和《大瑞士》（Big Swiss）的风格，既充满黑色幽默，又令人动容。故事讲述了一位魅力四射却又格格不入的女子，为了筹集维持昏迷妹妹生命所需的资金，连续七天进行直播。

“梅丽莎·布罗德、鲁菲·索普和奥特莎·莫什费格的粉丝们将会捧腹大笑，也会感到尴尬不已，也会感同身受，并被这位女子为了解决所有经济和情感问题，以冒险、公开的方式进行直播的奇观所深深吸引。《看着我》（Just Watch Me）引人入胜，扣人心弦。”——艾米丽·古尔德，《完美旋律》（Perfect Tunes）作者

戴尔·丹弗斯（Dell Danvers）几乎崩溃。她拖欠着没有浴室的单身公寓（以前是个步入式衣橱）的房租，饱受持续不断的剧烈胃痛折磨，而她的妹妹黛西（Daisy）则在医院里昏迷不醒，医院甚至想拔掉她的呼吸机。刚刚失业、靠卖植物苗勉强糊口的戴尔（Dell）一时冲动，以“mademoiselle_dell”为网名，开始了24小时直播，为黛西（Daisy）筹集14000美元，作为她一周的私人生活开支。

在她的直播间里，戴尔掌控着一切，驱逐那些不遵守她规则的人，凭借着她令人同情的故事和略带愤怒又滑稽的屏幕表现，稳步提升着直播平台的排名。一次打赌，她发现自己有吃辣的天赋，随着她吃辣的程度从墨西哥辣椒（jalapeño）到哈瓦那辣椒（habanero），再到鬼椒（ghost），她的直播人气也随之飙升。戴尔终于找到了自己的强项——但随着她的行为越来越冒险，一个从网络喷子变成“非自愿独身者”（incel）的人威胁要揭露她不为人知的过去，戴尔须正视她在网络生活中忽略的真相，以及真正的救赎意味着什么。

《看着我》由七个紧凑的章节组成，分别对应戴尔直播的每一天，带领我们体验这位魅力四射、心地善良的“怪咖”一周的精彩生活。这部作品既带有窥视的视角，又充满感官冲击，既大胆又离经叛道，利奥尔·托伦伯格的处女作既是一部犀利而节奏明快的互联网经济悲喜剧，又是一部关于爱、失去和宽恕的动人冥想。

Fleabag meets Big Swiss in this visceral, darkly hilarious, and surprisingly moving debut novel about a charismatic misfit who livestreams herself for seven straight days to raise money for her comatose sister's life support

‘Fans of Melissa Broder, Rufi Thorpe and Ottessa Moshfegh will laugh, cringe, empathise, and be mesmerised by the spectacle of one woman’s attempt to solve all her financial and emotional problems in the most adventurous, public and high-stakes way possible. Just Watch Me is addictive and propulsive.’ - Emily Gould, author of Perfect Tunes

Dell Danvers is barely keeping it together. She’s behind on rent for her bathroom-less studio apartment (formerly a walk-in closet), she’s being plagued by perpetual, spiking stomach pain, and her younger sister, Daisy, is in a coma at a hospital that wants to pull the plug. Freshly unemployed and subsisting on selling plant propagations to trust fund kids, Dell impulsively starts a 24-hour livestream under the username mademoiselle_dell to fundraise $14,000 for a week of private life support for Daisy.

In the dungeon of her stream, Dell is in control, banishing those who don’t abide by her terms of engagement and steadily rising up the platform’s ranks with her sympathetic story and angry-funny screen presence. On a dare, she discovers that she has a talent for eating spicy food, and her streaming fame explodes as her pepper consumption graduates from jalapeño to habanero to ghost. Finally, Dell is good at something—but as her behavior becomes riskier and riskier and a troll-turned-incel threatens to expose her dark past, Dell must reckon with what her digital life ignores, and what real redemption means.

Narrated in seven taut chapters, one for each day of Dell’s livestream, Just Watch Me careens us through a nonstop week in the life of this charismatic misfit with a heart of gold. Voyeuristic and visceral, audacious and outrageous, Lior Torenberg’s debut is both an incisive, zippy tragicomedy about the internet economy as well as a moving meditation on love, loss, and forgiveness.
