Rachel Cusk, the critically acclaimed author of Outline and Transit, completes her pathbreaking trilogy with Kudos.
A woman writer visits a Europe in flux, where questions of personal and political identity are rising to the surface and the trauma of change is opening up new possibilities of loss and renewal. Within the rituals of literary culture, Faye finds the human story in disarray amid differing attitudes toward the public enactment of the creative persona, and she begins to identify among the people she meets a tension between truth and representation that causes her to consider questions of acclaim, justice, and the ultimate value of suffering. The third in the trilogy that began with Outline, Rachel Cusk’s Kudos takes as its theme the relationship between pain and honor, and investigates the moral nature of success as a precept of both art and living.

Jen Campbell's first collection The Girl Aquarium explores the realm of rotten fairy tales, the possession of body and the definition of beauty. Weaving between whispered science and circus, she turns a cracked mirror on society and asks who gets to control the twisted tales hiding in the wings.

'If she was my double and I was hers, was it true that she was knowing, I was unknowing, she was sane, I was crazy, she was wise, I was foolish? That summer, the air was electric between us as we transmitted our feelings to each other across three countries.'
Elsa M. Anderson is a classical piano virtuoso. In a flea market in Athens, she watches an enigmatic woman buy two mechanical dancing horses. Is it possible that the woman who is so enchanted with the horses is her living double? Is she also looking for reasons to live?
Chasing their doubles across Europe, the two women grapple with their conceptions of the world and each other, culminating in a final encounter in a fateful summer rainstorm.
A vivid portrait of a long-held identity coming apart,
expands our understanding of the ways in which we seek to find ourselves in others and create ourselves anew.

A literary cause célèbre when first published more than fifty years ago, Gore Vidal’s now-classic The City and the Pillar stands as a landmark novel of the gay experience.
Jim, a handsome, all-American athlete, has always been shy around girls. But when he and his best friend, Bob, partake in “awful kid stuff,” the experience forms Jim’s ideal of spiritual completion. Defying his parents’ expectations, Jim strikes out on his own, hoping to find Bob and rekindle their amorous friendship. Along the way he struggles with what he feels is his unique bond with Bob and with his persistent attraction to other men. Upon finally encountering Bob years later, the force of his hopes for a life together leads to a devastating climax. The first novel of its kind to appear on the American literary landscape, The City and the Pillar remains a forthright and uncompromising portrayal of sexual relationships between men.

An act of translation is always an act of betrayal.
1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he'll enroll in Oxford University's prestigious Royal Institute of Translation — also known as Babel.
Babel is the world's center of translation and, more importantly, of silver-working: the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation through enchanted silver bars, to magical effect. Silver-working has made the British Empire unparalleled in power, and Babel's research in foreign languages serves the Empire's quest to colonize everything it encounters.
Oxford, the city of dreaming spires, is a fairytale for Robin; a utopia dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge serves power, and for Robin, a Chinese boy raised in Britain, serving Babel inevitably means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress Robin finds himself caught between Babel and the shadowy Hermes Society, an organization dedicated to sabotaging the silver-working that supports imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide: Can powerful institutions be changed from within, or does revolution always require violence? What is he willing to sacrifice to bring Babel down?
Babel — a thematic response to The Secret History and a tonal response to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell — grapples with student revolutions, colonial resistance, and the use of translation as a tool of empire.

本书由八部中篇和短篇小说构成。水与火，柔软与尖锐，春天与冬天，植物与铁器，韩江在这些冲突中洞悉瞬间的感觉和印象，用美妙而生动的语言刻画命运的表情，在刺探人与人之间关系的阴暗面时，闪烁着耀眼的光芒。

Jeanette Winterson’s novels have established her as one of the most important young writers in world literature. The Passion is perhaps her most highly acclaimed work, a modern classic that confirms her special claim on the novel. Set during the tumultuous years of the Napoleonic Wars, The Passion intertwines the destinies of two remarkable people: Henri, a simple French soldier, who follows Napoleon from glory to Russian ruin; and Villanelle, the red-haired, web-footed daughter of a Venetian boatman, whose husband has gambled away her heart. In Venice’s compound of carnival, chance, and darkness, the pair meet their singular destiny.

In her unique and mesmerizing voice, Winterson blends reality with fantasy, dream, and imagination to weave a hypnotic tale with stunning effects.

“韩国八零后天才女作家”金爱烂
第二十七届申东晔创作奖获奖作品
未来文学家奖得主 张怡微 作序《“我想抓住那道光”》
“喜欢金爱烂的读者，很容易就会捕捉到千变万化的文学创造背后那双犀利的女性冷眼……现实冷峻如雪，作家将这些体验都划归为生活本来的样子，它是有温度的，是寒冷的。与此同时，它也是有光芒的。”
《滔滔生活》是金爱烂的第二部短篇小说集，共收入八篇作品。这些故事写成长于饺子馆的女孩在雨水倒灌的首尔半地下出租屋里肆意弹琴，写都会女性极度疲惫而辛劳的职场生涯，有城市青年囿于物质的缺乏无法体面过圣诞节，写丈夫出轨与负债的妈妈靠开面馆养大女儿……它们聚焦了城市中那些看似平常、边缘，实则每天都在与生活无声抗争的可敬的普通人；这些充满想象力和智慧的文字就像在平淡无奇的日常生活中积聚起来的一汪水，读者映照出自己，辨认出生活的重压之下个人的内心曲折。

寒冷的十二月夜晚，一轮满月高挂在纽约市的上空，此时发生了两起命案。凶手在两个现场都放置了同样诡异的古董钟，还附上一张署名为“钟表匠”的纸条！犯罪学家林肯·莱姆和警探萨克斯受命组成调查组，在扑朔迷离的线索之间抽丝剥茧，在物证、推理和目击供词之间艰难取舍，终于找到了钟表匠的经销商，他已售出十只钟表，这意味着将有十位受害人在纽约死于非命，且作案手法将异常残忍：割腕、放血、砸碎喉咙、火刑……古董钟发出的每一声嘀嗒，都意味着一个生命即将结束……

写给每个曾经当过孩子的大人
童年自有其甜蜜之谜，确认了死亡的真实，界定了勇气与爱。
往前看也得往后看，每个生命都在仿效永恒，犹如转轮
惊悚小说王者中的王者斯蒂芬•金长盛不衰之作，纯真与恐怖的绝佳组合
华纳兄弟改编的同名电影定于2017年９月上映
故事发生在美国缅因州小镇德里。
一个雨天，威廉给弟弟乔治做了艘纸船，弟弟高高兴兴出门去街上放船，不久后却惨死在下水道口。接下来镇上不断有小孩失踪或夭折，警察的搜寻却毫无结果。威廉的父母沉浸在丧子的悲痛中，对威廉不闻不问。
暑假里，难过而孤独的威廉与六个在学校不受欢迎的孩子组成了“窝囊废俱乐部”。小伙伴们发现他们几乎都曾见过一个诡异的家伙——“它”。“它”变化多端，有时是拿着气球的小丑，有时是巨鸟，有时是排水管内的低语和汩汩冒出的鲜血……唯一不变的是，“它”每次在德里出现，都会夺走数十个孩子的生命。
“窝囊废俱乐部”决定向“它”宣战。重创“它”之后，七个孩子约定，若“它”再次出现，他们会重新聚首，直面邪恶。
孩子们一个个离开了德里，除了迈克。离开的六个孩子长大后事业顺风顺水，成功得几近诡异，分别成为作家、建筑师、服装设计师、会计师、电台主持人和车行老板。他们仿佛从记忆中删除了德里，删除了那个夏天。
二十七年后，电话铃声响起，仿佛命运的召唤。只是，这次有人缺席，他用尽最后的力气，在镜子上写下一个鲜血淋漓的大字：它。

本书是一部技巧高度纯熟的小长篇，“恐怖伊恩”时期的代表作，着力探索人性欲望的无限可能，讲述了一个关于美的追求者为了满足自己的欲望如何将美的对象摧残致死的故事。一对如胶似漆却又貌合神离的情人正在度假。从踏进这座繁华却又怪诞的旅游城市的第一天起，他们就一直被跟踪、偷拍。暗处的这双眼睛如影随形，诱惑着这对情人找寻新鲜刺激、寻求所谓陌生人的慰藉，并最终使他们一心一意地投身于一个处心积虑为其设下的情欲与死亡的陷阱中。小说蕴含着无数隐喻，与众多经典文本高度互文，充满了对托马斯·曼《死于威尼斯》、E·M·福斯特《看得见风景的房间》等意味深长的正引或戏仿，被誉为麦克尤恩的两部“小型杰作”之一。

《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。

布里斯·D’J.潘凯克的短篇小说堪称美国版《都柏林人》。
——杰恩·安妮·菲利普斯
这本书就像一个锋利、坚硬的物体，一位天赋过人却不幸早夭的青年作家遗留下来的一枚箭头。每年出版的书数不胜数，就这么让他的这部作品埋没其中似乎再正常不过，可是将它再次发掘出来绝对值得。
——《纽约客》
潘凯克有能力用鲜明、难忘的细节在每一页上重现西弗吉尼亚的景观：古老的山丘与空谷，几乎被人遗弃的矿村、生锈的拖车、悲伤的小餐馆，以及临时的农场——这些景观映射着他笔下人物的生活，他们大多被困住了、残疾了、过时了。
——《纽约时报书评》
潘凯克先生有一双能敏锐捕捉细节的作家的眼睛，他用这些细节逐层描绘出一幅西弗吉尼亚的贫瘠山丘和空谷里的生活图景。
——《纽约时报》
以任何标准来看，《三叶虫》都是一篇杰作……简而言之，潘凯克就是个文学天才。
——《卫报》
潘凯克是一位触觉极其灵敏的作家。他唤起的那些毫不掩饰的情感在他句子的节奏里真实可感；你能在皮肤之下感受到沉重、搏动的韵律……这些小说在他死后得以流传，令人心碎，不是因为其中蕴含的潜能，而是因为它们的完美。
——《华尔街时报》
潘凯克对他所写地域的了解可与福克纳对约克纳帕塔法县详尽的了解相媲美……所有这些小说里有种自然袒露、躁动不安、不成调的感觉，令人难忘而感动。
——《华盛顿新闻报》
潘凯克很重视营造氛围和强有力的地域感，这在当代小说中是很少见的，它将其最好的小说升华为一种坚实、感人的文学体验。
——《旧金山书评》
我在《大西洋月刊》工作三十多年来，想不起还有哪位新作家能得到这样的反馈。数月间，信件像雪片一样飞来，来信的人明显对他的背景一无所知，他们只想要读更多他的作品，询问是否有出版潘凯克短篇集的可能，或者只是为了表达喜爱和感激之情。

【内容简介】
“我感觉我的恐惧如涟漪扩散，荡漾过百万年的时光。”
痴迷于三叶虫化石的男子和假期返乡的前女友外出约会，触发了关于时间与命运的遐想；采煤工人没能留住一心要远走的妻子，宿醉后提着枪独自上了山；雪夜，一个远足的青年搭上一辆铲雪车，司机心中的秘密却比严寒更令人生畏……
作者以海明威般的冷静克制书写美国南方小镇中普通人的伤痛和记忆，平淡中又潜藏着暴力和危险的气息。

In Ancient Greece, a skilled marble sculptor has been blessed by a goddess who has given his masterpiece – the most beautiful woman the town has ever seen – the gift of life. Now his wife, Galatea is expected to be obedience and humility personified, but it is not long before she learns to use her beauty as a form of manipulation. In a desperate bid by her obsessive husband to keep her under control, she is locked away under the constant supervision of doctors and nurses. But with a daughter to rescue, she is determined to break free, whatever the cost...
Pygmalion's story has moved millions through the centuries, inspiring George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, and later the beloved musical My Fair Lady. Ecco is proud to publish Orange Prize-winning author Madeline Miller’s E-book original short story Galatea which will appear in the forthcoming anthology xo Orpheus: Fifty New Myths to be published in October. This retelling of the Pygmalion myth from the statue’s perspective is a tale that will make readers rethink how they relate to the great myths of our time.

《烦人的爱》（1992）是意大利作家埃莱娜•费兰特的首部作品，描述了一段充满痛楚和阴影的母女关系。

在黛莉亚四十五岁生日当天，本应该坐上火车来罗马给女儿庆祝生日的母亲阿玛利娅被人发现溺亡，身上只穿着一件精致的内衣。

黛莉亚回到故乡那不勒斯，试图查清母亲的死因。身为裁缝的母亲一辈子都被迫掩盖自己的魅力 ，以此逃避好妒的画家丈夫的体罚，却在死前留下了一箱来历不明的高档衣物。

黛莉亚对母亲的挖掘变成了一场令人心碎的记忆的救赎。她越接近母亲晚年的秘密，关于阿玛利娅的真实就如同尖锐的碎片，将黛莉亚多年来精心构建的谎言彻底击溃。她在迷乱中意识到，阿玛利娅承受的暴力，不止来自专制残忍的丈夫和兄长，抑或是在她身边徘徊多年的商人卡塞尔塔，更来自童年的自己、来自自己对母亲无法平息的占有欲望。

黛莉亚最终穿上母亲馈赠给自己的衣物，和四十年前的谎言和解。在母亲离世的海边，她将自己的证件照片涂抹成母亲的样子。对她而言，阿玛利娅从未离开，她就是阿玛利娅。

In this harrowing illumination of the psychotic mind, the enviable Tom Ripley has a lovely house in the French countryside, a beautiful and very rich wife, and an art collection worthy of a connoisseur. But such a gracious life has not come easily. One inopportune inquiry, one inconvenient friend, and Ripley's world will come tumbling down--unless he takes decisive steps. In a mesmerizing novel that coolly subverts all traditional notions of literary justice, Ripley enthralls us even as we watch him perform acts of pure and unspeakable evil.

Coraline lives with her preoccupied parents in part of a huge old house--a house so huge that other people live in it, too... round, old former actresses Miss Spink and Miss Forcible and their aging Highland terriers ("We trod the boards, luvvy") and the mustachioed old man under the roof ("'The reason you cannot see the mouse circus,' said the man upstairs, 'is that the mice are not yet ready and rehearsed.'") Coraline contents herself for weeks with exploring the vast garden and grounds. But with a little rain she becomes bored--so bored that she begins to count everything blue (153), the windows (21), and the doors (14). And it is the 14th door that--sometimes blocked with a wall of bricks--opens up for Coraline into an entirely alternate universe. Now, if you're thinking fondly of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe or Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, you're on the wrong track. Neil Gaiman's Coraline is far darker, far stranger, playing on our deepest fears. And, like Roald Dahl's work, it is delicious.
What's on the other side of the door? A distorted-mirror world, containing presumably everything Coraline has ever dreamed of... people who pronounce her name correctly (not "Caroline"), delicious meals (not like her father's overblown "recipes"), an unusually pink and green bedroom (not like her dull one), and plenty of horrible (very un-boring) marvels, like a man made out of live rats. The creepiest part, however, is her mirrored parents, her "other mother" and her "other father"--people who look just like her own parents, but with big, shiny, black button eyes, paper-white skin... and a keen desire to keep her on their side of the door. To make creepy creepier, Coraline has been illustrated masterfully in scritchy, terrifying ink drawings by British mixed-media artist and Sandman cover illustrator Dave McKean. This delightful, funny, haunting, scary as heck, fairy-tale novel is about as fine as they come. Highly recommended. (Ages 11 and older)

From acclaimed poet Franny Choi comes a poetry collection for the ends of worlds--past, present, and future. Choi's third book features poems about historical and impending apocalypses, alongside musings on our responsibilities to each other and visions for our collective survival.

Many have called our time dystopian. But The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On reminds us that apocalypse has already come in myriad ways for marginalized peoples and calls us to imagine what will persist in the aftermaths.

With lyric and tonal dexterity, these poems spin backwards and forwards in time. They look into the collective psyche of our years in the pandemic and in the throes of anti-racist uprisings, while imagining other vectors, directions, and futures. Stories of survival collide across space and time--from Korean comfort women during World War II to children wandering a museum in the future. These poems explore narrative distances and queer linearity, investigating on microscopic scales before soaring towards the universal. Throughout, Choi grapples with where the individual fits within the strange landscapes of this apocalyptic world, with its violent and many-layered histories. In the process, she imagines what togetherness--between Black and Asian and other marginalized communities, between living organisms, between children of calamity and conquest--could look like. Bringing together Choi's signature speculative imagination with even greater musicality than her previous work, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On ultimately charts new paths toward hope.

【媒体评论】
《两种真相》是一部构思精妙、逻辑缜密的悬疑小说，揭示了药品作坊和非法处方药地下交易的犯罪真相。
—— 《华盛顿时报》
康奈利笔下的博斯警探向来是个硬汉，但这部小说展现出的是他富有同情心的一面。
——《纽约时报》
再一次证明了康奈利作为故事讲述者的高超技巧。
——《每日快报》
《两种真相》情节紧凑、激动人心，是康奈利最出色、最有影响力的作品之一。
——《福斯特》
他将两条平行的叙事线拼接成一个险象环生的悬疑故事，这也为他笔下的角色增添了深度和复杂性。博斯就像他少年时代的偶像利文斯通博士一样，认为维护正义仅靠同情心是不够的，更需要行动。他的事迹在一个“黑暗而恐怖的世界”中熠熠生辉。
——《伦敦标准晚报》
