Perestroika in Paris 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Jane Smiley Knopf 2020 - 12
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning and best-selling author: a captivating, brilliantly imaginative story of three extraordinary animals--and a young boy--whose lives intersect in Paris.
Paras, short for "Perestroika," is a spirited racehorse at a racetrack west of Paris. One afternoon at dusk, she finds the door of her stall open and--she's a curious filly--wanders all the way to the City of Light. She's dazzled and often mystified by the sights, sounds, and smells around her, but she isn't afraid.
Soon she meets an elegant dog, a German shorthaired pointer named Frida, who knows how to get by without attracting the attention of suspicious Parisians. Paras and Frida coexist for a time in the city's lush green spaces, nourished by Frida's strategic trips to the vegetable market. They keep company with two irrepressible ducks and an opinionated raven. But then Paras meets a human boy, Etienne, and discovers a new, otherworldly part of Paris: the ivy-walled house where the boy and his nearly-one-hundred-year-old great-grandmother live in seclusion.
As the cold weather and Christmas near, the unlikeliest of friendships bloom. But how long can a runaway horse stay undiscovered in Paris? How long can a boy keep her hidden and all to himself? Jane Smiley's beguiling new novel is itself an adventure that celebrates curiosity, ingenuity, and the desire of all creatures for true love and freedom.
Cardiff, by the Sea: Four Novellas of Suspense Goodreads
作者: Joyce Carol Oates Mysterious Press 2020 - 10
Joyce Carol Oates, the "grand mistress of ghoulishness" (
), showcases her mastery in four deeply disturbing novellas that will leave the reader both quaking and pining for more In the titular novella, an academic in Pennsylvania discovers a terrifying trauma from her past after inheriting a house in Cardiff, Maine from someone she has never heard of. Mia, the protagonist of "Miao Dao," is a pubescent girl overcome with loneliness, who befriends a feral cat that becomes her protector from the increasingly aggressive males that surround her.
A brilliant but shy college sophomore realizes that she is pregnant in "Phan-tomwise: 1972." Distraught, she allows a distinguished visiting professor to take her under his wing, though it quickly becomes evident that he is interested in more than an academic mentorship. Lastly, "The Surviving Child" is Stefan, who was spared when his mother, a famous poet, killed his sister and herself. Stefan's father remarries, but his young wife is haunted by dead poet's voice dancing in the wind, an inexplicably befouled well, and a compulsive draw to the same gar-age that took two lives.
In these psychologically daring, chillingly suspenseful pieces, Joyce Carol Oates writes about women facing threats past and present.

From beloved, award-winning poet Aimee Nezhukumatathil comes a debut work of nonfiction―a collection of essays about the natural world, and the way its inhabitants can teach, support, and inspire us.
As a child, Nezhukumatathil called many places home: the grounds of a Kansas mental institution, where her Filipina mother was a doctor; the open skies and tall mountains of Arizona, where she hiked with her Indian father; and the chillier climes of western New York and Ohio. But no matter where she was transplanted―no matter how awkward the fit or forbidding the landscape―she was able to turn to our world’s fierce and funny creatures for guidance.
“What the peacock can do,” she tells us, “is remind you of a home you will run away from and run back to all your life.” The axolotl teaches us to smile, even in the face of unkindness; the touch-me-not plant shows us how to shake off unwanted advances; the narwhal demonstrates how to survive in hostile environments. Even in the strange and the unlovely, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty and kinship. For it is this way with wonder: it requires that we are curious enough to look past the distractions in order to fully appreciate the world’s gifts.
Warm, lyrical, and gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Nakamura, World of Wonders is a book of sustenance and joy.

作者: Vivien Chien St. Martin's Press 2018 - 3
Welcome to the Ho-Lee Noodle House, where the Chinese food is to die for. . .The last place Lana Lee thought she would ever end up is back at her family’s restaurant. But after a brutal break-up and a dramatic workplace walk-out, she figures that helping wait tables is her best option for putting her life back together. Even if that means having to put up with her mother, who is dead-set on finding her a husband. Lana’s love life soon becomes yesterday’s news once the restaurant’s property manager, Mr. Feng, turns up dead―after a delivery of shrimp dumplings from Ho-Lee. But how could this have happened when everyone on staff knew about Mr. Feng’s severe, life-threatening shellfish allergy? Now, with the whole restaurant under suspicion for murder and the local media in a feeding frenzy―to say nothing of the gorgeous police detective who keeps turning up for take-out―it’s up to Lana to find out who is behind Feng’s killer order. . . before her own number is up.“Vivien Chien serves up a delicious mystery with a side order of soy sauce and sass. A tasty start to a new mystery series!” ―Kylie Logan, bestselling author of Gone with the Twins"Deathby Dumpling is a fun and sassy debut with unique flavor, local flair, and heart.” ―Amanda Flower, Agatha Award--winning author of Lethal Licorice

Both an exploration of character and a reflection on the meaning of history, "Memoirs of Hadrian" has received international acclaim since its first publication in France in 1951. In it, Marguerite Yourcenar reimagines the Emperor Hadrian's arduous boyhood, his triumphs and reversals, and finally, as emperor, his gradual reordering of a war-torn world, writing with the imaginative insight of a great writer of the twentieth century while crafting a prose style as elegant and precise as those of the Latin stylists of Hadrian's own era.

Is This Anything? 豆瓣
作者: Jerry Seinfeld Simon & Schuster 2020 - 10
The first book in twenty-five years from Jerry Seinfeld features his best work across five decades in comedy.
Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub “Catch a Rising Star” as a twenty-one-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. “Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders,” Seinfeld writes. “So I have everything I thought was worth saving from forty-five years of hacking away at this for all I was worth.”
For this book, Jerry Seinfeld has selected his favorite material, organized decade by decade. In page after hilarious page, one brilliantly crafted observation after another, readers will witness the evolution of one of the great comedians of our time and gain new insights into the thrilling but unforgiving art of writing stand-up comedy.

Lucy Knisley loves food. The daughter of a chef and a gourmet, this talented young cartoonist comes by her obsession honestly. In her forthright, thoughtful, and funny memoir, Lucy traces key episodes in her life thus far, framed by what she was eating at the time and lessons learned about food, cooking, and life. Each chapter is bookended with an illustrated recipe - many of them treasured family dishes, and a few of them Lucy's original inventions. A welcome read for anyone who ever felt more passion for a sandwich than is strictly speaking proper, Relish is a book for our time: it invites the reader to celebrate food as a connection to our bodies and a connection to the earth, rather than an enemy, a compulsion, or a consumer product.

生活与命运 豆瓣
Жизнь и Судьба
9.7 (10 个评分) 作者: [俄罗斯] 瓦西里·格罗斯曼 译者: 力冈 理想国丨四川人民出版社 2020 - 2
1960年,瓦西里•格罗斯曼(Васи́лий Гро́ссман,1905—1964)完成长篇历史小说《生活与命运》。苏联当局负责意识形态的苏斯洛夫称此书“比帕斯捷尔纳克的《日瓦戈医生》更加危险”,要“过二三百年才可能出版”。1980年,该书在被封锁二十年后历经坎坷首 度出版,引起巨大轰动。
关于斯大林苏联社会生活的真实面貌,没有比《生活与命运》更为全面的描写:它是一整个时代的画像和心灵史,体制下复杂多面生活的一部百科全书,20世纪最黑暗的一段历史的深刻反思。
一如《战争与和平》,《生活与命运》围绕一个家族在时代变迁中的故事展开。格罗斯曼以托尔斯泰式的宏大视角和写实笔法,讲述了沙波什尼科夫一家在苏联卫国战争时期的经历,并通过家族成员各自的遭际串起上百位出场人物与一系列交叉延伸的历史事件。历史的创痛、现实的积弊,权力与战争双重碾压之下人性的艰难处境,都以栩栩如生的深刻细节纳入其中。
格罗斯曼是世界上用文字记录犹太灭绝营惨况的第一人,也是“二战后首位起而反抗苏联的作家”,其独一无二的经历和人道主义勇气,使本书具有足以令强权胆寒的震撼力。书中对战争真情实况的描写,对集中营的哀歌与沉思,对人生、政治和历史命运的哲思与探讨,对人性的极端邪恶与细微的善良之间斗争的刻画……至今读来依然具有深刻的感染力。
格罗斯曼女儿叶卡捷琳娜•科罗特卡娃唯一授权中文版。著名俄苏文学翻译家力冈经典译本,译者序言首次完整发布。独家收入罗伯特•钱德勒长文导读《为长眠者发声》。知名媒体人梁文道作序力荐:“这大概是我做读书节目,从广播电台到电视,到现在做视频十来年来,最想最想给我的观众们介绍的一本书。”英国著名历史学家、《耳语者》作者奥兰多•费吉斯倾情推荐:
“《生活与命运》比我知道的任何一本书更能让读者了解二战时期的苏联。但最重要的是,它迫使我们思考极权主义的本质(无论它在何地出现),以及人性善与恶之间更大的斗争。”

3. 著名俄苏文学翻译家力冈一人独译的经典译本,独家收入罗伯特•钱德勒长文导读《为长眠者发声》,知名媒体人梁文道作序力荐:“这大概是我做读书节目,从广播电台到电视,到现在做视频十来年来,最想最想给我的观众们介绍的一本书。”

5. 《生活与命运》通过沙波什尼科夫家族在卫国战争时期的遭际,再现了斯大林时代整个苏联社会国家的全景,它是一部百科全书,“读了这本书,你就知道苏联是怎么回事”。格罗斯曼是世界上用文字记录纳粹灭绝营惨况的第一人,也是二战后首位起而反抗苏联的作家,在本书中以非凡的人道主义勇气,描绘了权力与战争碾压之下一个黑暗时代的心灵史诗,“他所写皆是亲眼所见,足以惊心动魄”。

“20世纪俄罗斯文学的一部经典。”《纽约时报》
“正如所有真正伟大的艺术创作,《生活与命运》令人压抑沉痛,它毫不妥协地展示了人类所能造就的恶与他们在危难中成就的辉煌。一本伟大的书,只有一位俄罗斯人能完成的杰作。”《华尔街日报》
“分毫不让的现实主义和深具远见的道德张力,这部小说是现代俄罗斯文学的最高成就之一。”《纽约书评》
“格罗斯曼不是一个天生的文体家。但他所写皆是亲眼所见,足以惊心动魄。”《卫报》

4. “我渴望以自己的方式讲述故乡 的故事,一个更真实的被风刮过的故乡。”还原一个去猎奇化的、去标签化的真实藏地故乡
【内容简介】
《乌金的牙齿》是万玛才旦全新短篇小说集,包含了十三个故事。在日常即魔幻的藏地之上,穿行着色彩斑澜的各种人物,有嗜酒如命的酒鬼,恭敬虔诚的喇嘛,还有讳莫如深的屠夫与上师,执着于寻找自我身份的牧羊少年,站着瞌睡的少女……他们在执拗中生出孤独,在欲望里产生失落。无论是在传统与现代的边界摇摆,还是在真实与梦境中寻觅,万玛才旦总能用他独特的笔调,使他的人物故事在平常中幻化出奇异的光彩。
诚如马尔克斯在谈及拉美写作时所言 :“那些看上去魔幻的东西,实际上是拉美的现实特征,我们每前进一部,都会遇到对属于其他文化的读者来说似乎是神奇的事情,而对我们来讲则是每天的现实。”对于万玛才旦而言,他的写作环境也是一样——他绝非要以一种猎奇的视角向读者展示藏区的神秘与丰富;相反,他并不强调这些故事背景的特殊,他只写他所见所闻的日常景观——
《乌金的牙齿》中,“我”和乌金原是同班同学,是各怀心事的少年玩伴,但有一天乌金却被选中当了活佛…… 好像一切都没变,但一切却也都变了……
《塔洛》中留着小辫子的牧羊人塔洛要去城里办身份证,却在这番游历中经历了短暂而虚假的爱情、在人财两空之后,塔洛才恍然意识到,自己在这个办理身份证的过程中,也丢失了自己的身份 ……
《站着打瞌睡的女孩》中,一个可以站着打瞌睡的女孩,因“我”替她写了高考作文被秘书要挟而嫁给了她没有爱过的秘书。失去爱情的女孩,也慢慢失去了可以“站着打瞌睡”这本领,变成了一个普通的女孩……
《撞死了一只羊》中,身为货车司机的“我”,在出货的时候,一失神撞死了一只羊,于是我决定要找人来超度这只羊……
……
【名人推荐】
万玛才旦笔下的西藏日常而真实,又带有些许魔幻的色彩。对这片土地,他从来不刻意地渲染和煽情,他更喜欢用一种幽默的笔调写藏族人的生活,写他们的欢乐和忧愁。如果你想了解一个真实的西藏,他的小说,你非读不可。
——阎连科
万玛导演及他所带领的这波优秀的青年电影人,他们对电影的纯粹和付出,令人钦佩。
——王家卫
万玛才旦的小说,有着浑然天成和所有平实手法都掖藏不住的骨子里的华贵, 实在令所有不得不将汉语作为命运语言的写作者肃然起敬。
