No.4
Manhattan Beach
—— Jennifer Egan
The Pulitzer Prize winner"s new novel, seven years after A Visit From the Good Squad,marks a move away from the experimental—this is a straight historical novel, set mainly during World War II. The book"s heroine, Anna Kerrigan, is a character perfectly calibrated for Hollywood, with verve, vulnerability, and a tough-as-nails glamour that transitions from her job as the first female diver to work on war ships to her nights in gangster-filled night clubs.
普利策奖得主的新作。女主角是魅力十足的好莱坞演员，不同的工作经历，不同的人生故事又有哪些不一样的生命感悟?
No.3
Transit
—— Rachel Cusk
Cusk"s second novel in a planned trilogy goes minimal on plot, maximal on observation. The plot structure in the book is the renovation of the narrator"s London flat, and the spirit of transformation is mirrored in her conversations: With her contractors, her friends, her old flame. Through elegant meditations on contemporary life, Cusk"s depiction of her narrator is not so much portrait as a photo negative—mysterious, poetic and in contrast to her world.
通过生动的对话展开故事情节，描述不是像平面图片那般呆板，神秘的、诗意的、与现实完全相反的，书中的世界也将呈现给读者无尽的想象空间。
No.2

They pass the recording off as a rediscovered blues song—only to learn their lie may be accidentally based in reality. The hunt for the truth takes them on an unnerving journey through the past.
基于现实的谎言、寻找真相时的不安、人性的美与丑、梦想的近与远....一部好书总能让自己与心灵对话。
No.1
Sing, Unburied, Sing
—— Jesmyn Ward
Ward"s third book set in the fictional town of Bois Sauvage, based on her hometown of DeLisle, Miss., conjures the same raw emotion of her previous works, like the Hurricane Katrina novel Salvage the Bones. But this time, a sense of magical realism deepens the ghostly sense of the past reaching out to touch—or even strangle—the present. Ward"s novel is a true triple threat, expert in prose, human observation and social commentary.
读Ward的小说，要做好充分的心理准备。魔幻现实主义的虚构作品，出人意料的情节设置，两度荣获国际大奖的作品，也会给你带来不一样的惊喜。
