“韩国八零后天才女作家”金爱烂累积五年的八段人生
《你的夏天还好吗？》是金爱烂的第三部短篇小说集，共收入八篇作品。书中形形色色的人物大多面临绝境，赤裸裸地暴露在现实之中，却试图寻找渺茫的希望。尤其值得一提的是，其中五篇作品聚焦于三十岁左右的年轻女性，细腻地描摹了她们在爱情、友情、婚姻、工作等方面的心理状态，或许会激起中国女性读者的共鸣。作为韩国文坛*有代表性的女作家，金爱烂赢得了大量读者的喜爱，很大程度上归功于作品主人公的力量。

《外面是夏天》是金爱烂的第四部短篇小说集，共收入七篇作品。故事中的主人公大多在经历“失去”，失去孩子，失去父亲，失去能用母语与之交流的人……金爱烂似乎有意将这种种失去之痛揉碎，均匀地分布在字里行间，让痛感不时击中读者的心。在本书中，作者依旧保持着都市生活观察员和记录员的角色，叙述平实，贴近生活。
《外面是夏天》是第四十八届东仁文学奖获奖作品，其中《沉默的未来》《您想去哪里》分别为作者赢得第三十七届李箱文学奖和第八届年轻作家奖。

WHEN YOUNG TENAR is chosen as high priestess to the ancient and nameless Powers of the Earth, everything is taken away -- home, family, possessions, even her name. For she is now Arha, the Eaten One, guardian of the ominous Tombs of Atuan. While she is learning her way through the dark labyrinth, a young wizard, Ged, comes to steal the Tombs' greatest hidden treasure, the Ring of Erreth-Akbe. But Ged also brings with him the light of magic, and together, he and Tenar escape from the darkness that has become her domain. With millions of copies sold, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle has earned a treasured place on the shelves of fantasy lovers everywhere. Complex, innovative, and deeply moral, this quintessential fantasy sequence has been compared with the work of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and has helped make Le Guin one of the most distinguished fantasy and science fiction writers of all time. She lives in Portland, Oregon.

<b>A young woman pretends to be someone she isn't in this stunning novel by the <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Girls</i>.</b><br /><br />Summer is coming to a close on the East End of Long Island, and Alex is no longer welcome.<br /><br />A misstep at a dinner party, and the older man she's been staying with dismisses her with a ride to the train station and a ticket back to the city.<br /><br />With few resources and a waterlogged phone, but gifted with an ability to navigate the desires of others, Alex stays on Long Island and drifts like a ghost through the hedged lanes, gated driveways, and sun-blasted dunes of a rarified world that is, at first, closed to her. Propelled by desperation and a mutable sense of morality, she spends the week leading up to Labor Day moving from one place to the next, a cipher leaving destruction in her wake.<br /><br />Taut, propulsive, and impossible to look away from, Emma Cline's <i>The Guest </i>is a spellbinding literary achievement.
