书籍简介

1951 年夏末降临纽约埃尔迈拉，十三岁的迈拉·拉金（Myra Larkin）是天主教大家庭的长女，她遇到了一个年轻人，她认为他是米奇·曼托（Mickey Mantle）。他在当地一家小餐馆和她聊天，然后载她回家。这件事让她一直耿耿于怀，直到那天晚上晚些时候，街上发生了一起三人连环谋杀案，拉金一家因此遭受了长达半个世纪的暴力困扰。

当兄弟姐妹们离开家，在全国各地奔波时，每个人都在追寻美国梦的碎片。迈拉在抚养儿子罗南的同时，还担任监狱护士。她的二姐莱克西和菲奥娜发现自己处于阶级和权力的对立面。亚历克曾经是一名祭坛男孩，后来被逐出家门，逐渐被遗忘。随着他变得越来越孤独，他的母亲开始收到充满不祥预兆的明信片。他们揭露的真相和他们要求的，将摧毁一个家庭，并导致毁灭性的清算。

《餐桌上的狼》通过一个家庭对美国梦的追求，探索了我们与暴力的持续接近及其长期影响。普利策奖入围者亚当·拉普的写作非常敏锐，直击每个角色的内心，揭示了美好社会外表下的毁灭性现实。

As late summer 1951 descends on Elmira, New York, Myra Larkin, thirteen, the oldest child of a large Catholic family, meets a young man she believes to be Mickey Mantle. He chats her up at a local diner and gives her a ride home. The matter consumes her until later that night, when a triple homicide occurs just down the street, opening a specter of violence that will haunt the Larkins for half a century.

As the siblings leave home and fan across the country, each pursues a shard of the American dream. Myra serves as a prison nurse while raising her son, Ronan. Her middle sisters, Lexy and Fiona, find themselves on opposite sides of class and power. Alec, once an altar boy, is banished from the house and drifts into oblivion. As he becomes an increasingly alienated loner, his mother begins to receive postcards full of ominous portent. What they reveal, and what they require, will shatter a family and lead to devastating reckoning.

Through one family's pursuit of the American dream, Wolf at the Table explores our consistent proximity to violence and its effects over time. Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Rapp writes with gorgeous acuity, cutting to the heart of each character as he reveals the devastating reality beneath the veneer of good society.
