ABC孩子有决心成为作家的很少。有喜欢的，或可考虑购买支持。
作者之前办过zoom问答会。据我太太转述，作者说写了5年吧。
说他大学本来是STEM，上了一门creative writing的课决心成为作家。

ABOUT NIGHTS WHEN NOTHING HAPPENED
Named a Best Book of the Year by TIME, The Washington Post, and Harper’s
Bazaar
“A tender, spiky family saga about love in all its mysterious incarnations.
” —Lorrie Moore, author of A Gate at the Stairs and Birds of America
“Absolutely luminous… Weaves the transience of suburbia between the highs
and lows of a family saga. . . Shocks, awes, and delights.” —Bryan
Washington, author of Memorial
From the outside, the Chengs seem like so-called model immigrants. Once
Patty landed a tech job near Dallas, she and Liang grew secure enough to
have a second child, and to send for their first from his grandparents back
in China. Isn’t this what they sacrificed so much for? But then little
Annabel begins to sleepwalk at night, putting into motion a string of
misunderstandings that not only threaten to set their community against them
but force to the surface the secrets that have made them fear one another.
How can a man make peace with the terrors of his past? How can a child
regain trust in unconditional love? How can a family stop burying its
history and forge a way through it, to a more honest intimacy?
Nights When Nothing Happened is gripping storytelling immersed in the
crosscurrents that have reshaped the American landscape, from a prodigious
new literary talent. |
