那天，我开车带母亲上了高速公路。
行驶了一段时间后，我把车停在路旁，将她连同轮椅一起搬出来，推到马路中间，把她留在那儿。
不远处，一辆白色卡车正朝我们驶来。

A mother and daughter travel from abroad to meet in Tokyo: they walk along the canals through the autumn evenings, escape the typhoon rains, share meals in small cafes and restaurants, and visit galleries to see some of the city's most radical modern art. All the while, they talk: about the weather, horoscopes, clothes, and objects, about family, distance, and memory. But uncertainties abound. Who is really speaking here - is it only the daughter? And what is the real reason behind this elliptical, perhaps even spectral journey? At once a careful reckoning and an elegy,
questions whether any of us speak a common language, which dimensions can contain love, and what claim we have to truly know another's inner world.
Selected from more than 1,500 entries,
won the Novel Prize, a new, biennial award offered by Fitzcarraldo Editions, New Directions (US) and Giramondo (Australia), for any novel written in English that explores and expands the possibilities of the form.

Fifteen year old Graham Iddesleigh dreams of a past life, where he frolicked in a garden with a young Greek god. However, his dreams threaten to come to an abrupt end when his father decides to send him away to school. But what is Graham's surprise when he meets a fellow schoolboy, Harold Brocklehurst, who is the very image of the Greek god of his dreams!
Graham falls deeply in love with his new friend, and the two boys spend an unforgettable summer together -- until a heartbreaking tragedy occurs, a tragedy that will change Graham's life forever.
"The Garden God" was first published in 1905, in the wake of the Oscar Wilde trial and other scandals, and risked controversy with its undercurrents of pederastic desire. Forrest Reid dedicated the novel to his idol, Henry James, who was outraged and never spoke to Reid again. This first ever scholarly edition of the novel includes a new introduction and notes by Michael Matthew Kaylor, who dismisses the traditional view of Reid as merely a provincial novelist and argues for his inclusion among the major Uranian writers such as Pater, Wilde, and Frederick Rolfe.

A love affair between a thirteen-year-old schoolboy (Tony Sandel) and a nineteen-year-old undergraduate (David), written and published at time before moral panic set in and the false dogma was established that all such relationships damaged the younger partner for life. Sandel is an evocative portrait of boarding-school and Oxbridge life and the intense, often romantic friendships that flourish there. It is also a novel of sexual awakening, whose light touch disguises the profound emotions that such friendships generate; the relationship portrayed is partly of equals and partly, as often happens, one where it is the younger partner who decides whether and how it should persist.

Danielle Evans is widely acclaimed for her blisteringly smart voice and x-ray insights into complex human relationships. With The Office of Historical Corrections, Evans zooms in on particular moments and relationships in her characters’ lives in a way that allows them to speak to larger issues of race, culture, and history. She introduces us to Black and multiracial characters who are experiencing the universal confusions of lust and love, and getting walloped by grief—all while exploring how history haunts us, personally and collectively. Ultimately, she provokes us to think about the truths of American history—about who gets to tell them, and the cost of setting the record straight.
In “Boys Go to Jupiter,” a white college student tries to reinvent herself after a photo of her in a Confederate-flag bikini goes viral. In “Richard of York Gave Battle in Vain,” a photojournalist is forced to confront her own losses while attending an old friend’s unexpectedly dramatic wedding. And in the eye-opening title novella, a black scholar from Washington, DC, is drawn into a complex historical mystery that spans generations and puts her job, her love life, and her oldest friendship at risk.

伯尼销声匿迹了好一阵子，
哦不，应该说是改过从善的他经过一番努力，
终于让二手书店勉强达到收支平衡。
本以为日子会这么惬意的过下去，
然而他也遇到了绝大多数人都很头痛的问题－－物价飞涨。
新房东发出通知房租要涨价了，
而且是原来的十多倍。
悔过自新的贼似乎只剩下一个办法，
重操旧业的第一个晚上，
伯尼就遇到了一具尸体……

恶意不是目的，而是手段；毁灭不是结束，而是开始。

【内容简介】
《她只说“是的”》共收录雪莉·杰克逊的16个短篇小说，除经典短篇《摸彩》外，大部分为首次译介的作品。有“超自然恐怖”（涉及鬼怪和异时空），也有日常生活里由于人性的恶意而导致的失控场景。
—————————————————————————————————
【编辑推荐】
✷ 无比敏锐地洞察人性中的恶意，让读者精确止步于恐惧漩涡的边缘。
✷ 角色常常无意识地陷入某种危险的失控状态，然后在失控状态中分裂和“黑化”。
✷将人心的细小缺口撕裂、扩大，静待人物命运急转直下，乃至全盘崩溃。
雪莉·杰克逊的写作有其恐怖、幽暗、残暴的一面，也有哥特小说惯常的冷峻、写实风格，但她并没有沉浸在惊异、怪诞中，她的作品有强烈的隐喻风格，更关注对历史与人性的解读。
-
雪莉•杰克逊说：“我一向热衷使用恐惧，抓住并理解它，让它产生效果，强化我害怕的一个画面，全盘接受，以此作为写作的起点。”她的小说一步步将你带到一个惊诧迷幻的境地，思维之殊异与超越变得越来越不可控。置身于生活的碎片中，挖掘其中的哥特元素。正因为她的故事基于生活，当我们的感知被完全唤醒后，莫名的恐惧悄然而至。

Life is hard enough for a teenage girl in 1950s suburbia without having a mother who may—or may not—be a witch. A single mother at that. Sure, she fits in with her starched dresses, string of pearls, and floral aprons. Then there are the hushed and mystical consultations with neighborhood women in distress. The unsavory, mysterious plants in the flower beds. The divined warning to steer clear of a boyfriend whose fate is certainly doomed. But as the daughter of this bewitching homemaker comes of age and her mother’s claims become more and more outlandish, she begins to question everything she once took for granted.

Eve, Justin, Susie, and Ed have been friends since they were teenagers. Now in their thirties, the four are as close as ever, Thursday pub trivia night is sacred, and Eve is still secretly in love with Ed. Maybe she should have moved on by now, but she can’t stop thinking about what could have been. And she knows Ed still thinks about it, too.
But then, in an instant, their lives are changed forever.
In the aftermath, Eve’s world is upended. As stunning secrets are revealed, she begins to wonder if she really knew her friends as well as she thought. And when someone from the past comes back into her life, Eve’s future veers in a surprising new direction...
They say every love story starts with a single moment. What if it was just last night?

Finally back in print, a frighteningly lucid feminist horror story about marriage
The Dry Heart begins and ends with the matter-of-fact pronouncement: “I shot him between the eyes.” As the tale―a plunge into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and bitterness―proceeds, the narrator's murder of her flighty husband takes on a certain logical inevitability. Stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburg's writing here is white-hot, tempered by rage. She transforms the unhappy tale of an ordinary dull marriage into a rich psychological thriller that seems to beg the question: why don't more wives kill their husbands?

2015 Alex Award Recipient!Maren Yearly is a young woman who wants the same things we all do. She wants to be someone people admire and respect. She wants to be loved. But her secret, shameful needs have forced her into exile. She hates herself for the bad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity; for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her--how they judge her. She didn't choose to be this way. Because Maren Yearly doesn't just break hearts, she devours them. Ever since her mother found Penny Wilson's eardrum in her mouth when Maren was just two years old, she knew life would never be normal for either of them. Love may come in many shapes and sizes, but for Maren, it always ends the same-with her hiding the evidence and her mother packing up the car. But when her mother abandons her the day after her sixteenth birthday, Maren goes looking for the father she has never known, and finds much more than she bargained for along the way. Faced with a world of fellow eaters, potential enemies, and the prospect of love, Maren realizes she isn't only looking for her father, she's looking for herself. Camille DeAngelis' Bones & All is an astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality.

The third book in the mesmerizing RAVEN CYCLE quartet from bestselling author, Maggie Stiefvater. Fans of the SHIVER trilogy will love this new quartet. For the first time in her life, Blue Sargent has found a place where she feels at home. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own and she is sure that this is where she belongs. But certainties can unravel. Visions can mislead. And friends can betray. The trick with found things is how easily they can be lost...

Set in the 1950s Paris of American expatriates, liaisons, and violence, a young man finds himself caught between desire and conventional morality. With a sharp, probing imagination, James Baldwin's now-classic narrative delves into the mystery of loving and creates a moving, highly controversial story of death and passion that reveals the unspoken complexities of the human heart.

泽尼亚漂亮、聪明、贪婪；时而强势时而柔弱，时而无助时而无情；她是男人的梦想，女人的梦魇。她死了。为了百分之百确定这点，托妮、洛兹和查丽丝去参加了她的葬礼。泽尼亚曾夺走她们的丈夫，拐走她们的情人。五年后，当这三个情同姐妹的女人共享午餐时，不可能的事情发生了：“恶意之波像宇宙射线一样从身体里流淌出来”，泽尼亚回来了……

1988年，一个大学刚毕业的男孩站在祖母家的屋顶上抽着烟，望着远处的底格里斯河，对身旁第一次回老家的十二岁弟弟讲起了自己的十二岁，讲起七十年代里那些酷热的夏夜，父母把床垫搬上屋顶，一家三口在河面吹来的凉风中好眠。
他就躺在月光下，说等着瞧吧弟弟，要不了多久，我们的国家就会再次强盛起来。道路平坦宽阔，吊桥闪闪发光，遍地都是五星级酒店；情侣们一窝蜂地飞到巴士拉去度蜜月，小学生在乌尔的神庙前面摆拍，背包客把阿斯卡里的明信片寄回家，夕阳红旅客会把一罐罐的尤苏菲耶蜂蜜塞进行李箱；巴格达将会成为奥运会主办城市，美索不达米亚雄狮队将会赢得世界杯；战争会彻底结束，巴比伦哈特拉尼尼微的遗迹都将免费开放，连安保都不需要。人们将从四面八方涌来，亲眼见证伊拉克的古老与美丽。
十几年后，哥哥失去了音讯，急着去找他的弟弟困在机场，被入境检查员反复盘问：你哥哥是什么人？你要去伊拉克做什么？
他想起最后一次见到哥哥时的样子，他像个巨人一样靠坐在塑料花园椅上，把肱二头肌上看不见的尘屑掸掉，然后抬起脸，目光扫过向西飞驰的云彩，像是在看一出穿越库尔德天空的出埃及记。他看起来更像一个向世界施加力量的生灵，而不是相反。原来，这样的一个人也会消失。
在所有的大地上，人们正在四面八方地涌来和死去。

《不对称》由三个看似相互独立的部分组成，探讨了激发并持续影响人际关系的诸多不对称：性别、年龄、权力、才华、财富、声明、地域、种族、宗教……与正义。
第一部分名为“愚蠢”，以第三人称讲述了一位二十出头的美国助理编辑爱丽丝与比她年长四十五岁的著名作家埃兹拉·布雷泽的“爱情”故事。
第二部分名为“疯狂”，以第一人称回忆了伊拉克裔美国经济学家阿马尔的生平。他此行飞往伦敦，是为了转机去库尔德斯坦，寻找失联的哥哥，却意外地被移民官员扣留，在希思罗机场的一间拘留室里度过了2008年的最后一个周末。
第三部分是布莱泽的访谈，我们将从中领会整本书最核心的秘密，角色之间的关系也将袒露出前所未有的含义——“一场坠入兔子洞的未知之旅。翻过全书的最后一页，读者会忍不住回到开头，反复体会哈利迪是怎样一次又一次地颠覆整个故事的。”（《华盛顿邮报》)
“哈利迪几乎同时写下了一部匿名的纪实小说，一部思想小说和一部关于政治参与的元小说。”（《纽约时报书评》）同时，《不对称》也是一个人蒙着面纱的肖像——一个决心超越她的出身、她的特权、她的天真的人。
“在她的笔下，‘不对称’不只存在于野心与成就之间、年轻女性与年长男性之间，更存在于西方与其他地区，以及国家与个人之间，由此提出了关于想象力和共情能力的局限性的问题：我们能否跨越性别、种族、国籍和权力的界限来理解彼此；一个人愿意为理解素不相识的人付出多少努力，以及可以在多大程度上做到和做不到这一点。”（《纽约客》）
2018年，《不对称》英文版的出版被媒体形容为一场“文学事件”，风靡一时，有心的读者会发现，它的知名很大程度上还是因为metoo运动的热潮，以及知名老作家和女文青之间的八卦。然而，从阅读中我们很容易便能意识到：书中人与人的关系远非简单的权力关系可以概括，而是息息相关、休戚与共；自传性也并非噱头，而是以整个现实世界与这部小说互文，从而拓宽了叙事的景深；而且，莉萨·哈利迪也志不在此——
“你在写这个吗，我们的事？”
“没有。”
“那你在写什么？”
“其他的人。”
……
无论如何，《不对称》都迫使我们成为一个更好的读者，一个更积极的观察者。

“这座大宅壮美无限，仁慈无边。”
……
皮拉内西住在大宅里。也许他一直都在那里。
他日复一日地在笔记本上详细记录大宅里的奇迹：无数大厅组成的迷宫，形态各异的雕像，楼梯下方汹涌的潮水，上层大厅里的浮云。星期二和星期五，他会去见那个人；别的时候，他会带上食物去供奉死者。但是大部分时候，他都是孤身一人。
地板上开始出现用粉笔写下的留言。大宅里来了新人。是什么人？想来干什么？他们是朋友吗？抑或如那个人所说，他们会带来毁灭和疯狂？
失落的记录必须被找到，埋藏的秘密有待发掘。皮拉内西原本熟知的世界变得既陌生又危险。

Martha Friel just turned forty. Once, she worked at Vogue and planned to write a novel. Now, she creates internet content. She used to live in a pied-à-terre in Paris. Now she lives in a gated community in Oxford, the only person she knows without a PhD, a baby or both, in a house she hates but cannot bear to leave. But she must leave, now that her husband Patrick—the kind who cooks, throws her birthday parties, who loves her and has only ever wanted her to be happy—has just moved out.
Because there’s something wrong with Martha, and has been for a long time. When she was seventeen, a little bomb went off in her brain and she was never the same. But countless doctors, endless therapy, every kind of drug later, she still doesn’t know what’s wrong, why she spends days unable to get out of bed or alienates both strangers and her loved ones with casually cruel remarks.
And she has nowhere to go except her childhood home: a bohemian (dilapidated) townhouse in a romantic (rundown) part of London—to live with her mother, a minorly important sculptor (and major drinker) and her father, a famous poet (though unpublished) and try to survive without the devoted, potty-mouthed sister who made all the chaos bearable back then, and is now too busy or too fed up to deal with her.
But maybe, by starting over, Martha will get to write a better ending for herself—and she’ll find out that she’s not quite finished after all.

In these tales of loss and pleasure, lovers and family, a woman learns to conduct an affair, a child of divorce dances with her mother, and a woman with a terminal illness contemplates her exit. Filled with the sharp humor, emotional acuity, and joyful language Moore has become famous for, these nine glittering tales marked the introduction of an extravagantly gifted writer.
