书籍简介

在罗斯·盖伊历时一年创作的新作《快乐之书》中，这位美国具原创性的作家继续他对愉悦的持续探究。

对盖伊来说，愉悦是将我们联系在一起的东西，是赋予我们意义的东西，从听到路过的汽车上响起的怀旧歌曲时的喜悦，到拒绝 "邪恶 "的可扫描二维码菜单时的愉悦，从他深深爱上的小狗，到他母亲为孙子们烤制的十几种饼干。盖伊一如既往地陶醉于自然世界--正在收获的甜土豆、蜂鸟在蜂花丛中嬉戏、墓地周围墙壁上长出的向日葵、邻居家无花果树上的丰收果实--以及这个光彩夺目的地球以万亿种神秘的方式取悦我们。

《快乐之书》是一本值得品味和分享的书。

In Ross Gay's new collection of small, daily wonders, again written over the course of a year, one of America's most original voices continues his ongoing investigation of delight.

For Gay, what delights us is what connects us, what gives us meaning, from the joy of hearing a nostalgic song blasting from a passing car to the pleasure of refusing the "nefarious" scannable QR code menus, from the tiny dog he fell hard for to his mother baking a dozen kinds of cookies for her grandchildren. As always, Gay revels in the natural world-sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbour's fig tree-and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us.

The Book of (More) Delights is a volume to savour and share.
