內容簡介

內容簡介 義大利神祕作家斐蘭德以小說那不勒斯四部曲聞名於世，新作《大人的謊言生活》將改編為 Netflix 原創影集，描述主角喬凡娜歷經童年、少女到成人的蛻變歷程。喬凡娜分裂成兩半，在彼此厭惡又恐懼的那不勒斯中，尋找自己的投影。高處的那不勒斯戴著精緻的面具；深處的那不勒斯度縱欲且庸俗。她在兩者間尋找真理，但兩者都無法給她解答，也不讓她逃脫。------------青春騷動、性的探索、離巢焦慮。大人世界由謊言組成，小說世界由真相組成。最擅長描繪少女心的覆面作家，《那不勒斯四部曲》作者艾琳娜‧斐蘭德全新作品改編Netflix影集， 2023年1月大人謊言，全球公開喬凡娜十二歲，本來功課很好，本來非常聽話，但是她在偷聽父母對話時，竟聽見父親說她越來越像維多莉亞。她震驚不已――維多莉亞是父親的妹妹，是家族中的黑羊，是老相片中被塗掉的黑框。父親怎麼可以說她像她？於是她從乖孩子變成爆裂青春版的德米安，她不想接受此事，打算親自去見維多莉亞。只要看一眼就好，她想知道這個她「越來越像」的人長什麼樣。然而見面之後她卻發現維多莉亞和她想像不同，父母也不總是光明磊落――她目睹母親與父親好友的桌下調情；父親和另個女子的長年出軌。不說真話，好像才是真的長大。當謊言揭開，完美家庭的幻象便開始崩塌――「我已不再純真，我的童年結束了。」《那不勒斯四部曲》作者艾琳娜．斐蘭德被《紐約時報》譽為當代最偉大小說家之一，有多部作品影視化，《失去的女兒》（The Lost Daughter）更由演員兼導演瑪姬·葛倫霍改編，並於威尼斯影展得到最佳劇本。然而作者本人多年來堅持不露面，認為作家完成作品後，任務就已結束。她最擅長描寫青春少女，她們是一種特別的生物，脆弱卻充滿力量，美麗而充滿尖刺。這些女孩的青春期回憶就像月經，黏糊糊的，髒髒的，紅色的，帶有羞恥的；各種擔憂，各種小心翼翼，變為在肚腹底部騷動的性，以一種渾沌黏稠、令人討厭的方式使人深陷其中。召喚成長的回憶，由單純走向複雜的單向旅途，是她最擅長的寫作風格。本中文書介出自《大人的謊言生活》大塊文化出版股份有限公司出版“AN INCENDIARY PORTRAIT OF THE VOLCANIC CURRENTS OF SEX AND BETRAYAL.”―Mail on SundayTHE INTERNATIONAL No. 1 BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF MY BRILLIANT FRIENDA BBC2 Between The Covers Book Club PickBRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2021 – SHORTLISTED FOR FICTION BOOK OF THE YEARSoon to be a NETFLIX original series18M OF ELENA FERRANTE'S BOOKS SLOD WORLDWIDEGiovanna’s pretty face has changed: it’s turning into the face of an ugly, spiteful adolescent. But is she seeing things as they really are? Where must she look to find her true reflection and a life she can claim as her own?Giovanna’s search leads her to two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity.
