內容簡介

內容簡介 喬伊絲・卡蘿・歐茲（Joyce Carol Oates）全新力作！一部融合文學與心理懸疑的傑作，講述一名魅力十足又令人捉摸不定的教師在菁英寄宿學校失蹤後，所引發的一連串黑暗秘密。《紐約時報雜誌》：她無疑是「美國最偉大在世作家名單上的常客」。「詭異、震撼、挑釁，且寫得極其美麗，《狐狸》再一次證明歐茲是當今最偉大的作家之一。」——吉莉安・弗琳（Gillian Flynn）誰是法蘭西斯・福克斯（Francis Fox）？他是一名新來的英文教師，現身於風景如畫的朗霍恩學院（Langhorne Academy），這所菁英寄宿學校的學生、家長與教師無不為他著迷——然而，也有人開始質疑：福克斯究竟從哪來？他的背景為何如此撲朔迷離？直到有一天，兩名兄弟在當地自然保護區的池塘中發現福克斯的車半沉水中，附近樹林中還散落著一具無名屍體的部分遺骸。整個社區開始動搖——包括警探霍勒斯・茲溫德（Horace Zwender）與他的副手——大家開始問出那個令人不寒而慄的問題：「福克斯到底是誰？」《狐狸》（Fox） 是一場令人著迷、節奏奔騰的故事，關於犯罪與共謀、復仇與補償、受害者與掠食者之間的博弈。歐茲深入描繪人類心理中最陰暗的角落，同時拋出深刻的道德拷問：當邪惡現身，我們應該如何回應？ 法蘭西斯・福克斯是一個宛如派翠西亞・海史密斯筆下的湯姆・瑞普利（Tom Ripley）與納博科夫筆下的亨伯特・亨伯特（Humbert Humbert）般魅惑、危險的角色。他幾乎能操控所有人——直到他遇上了唯一無法欺騙的對手。A spellbinding novel of literary and psychological suspense about the dark secrets that surface after the shocking disappearance of a charismatic, mercurial teacher at an elite boarding school—by the legendary author “who is surely on any shortlist of America’s greatest living writers” (The New York Times Magazine)“Eerie, shocking, provoking, and beautifully written, Fox is yet further proof Oates is one of the greatest writers among us today.”—Gillian Flynn“I found it mesmerizing front to back.”—Michael ConnellyA MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK: The New York Times, Vulture, Esquire, AV Club, AARPWho is Francis Fox? A charming English teacher new to the idyllic Langhorne Academy, Fox beguiles many of his students, their parents, and his colleagues at the elite boarding school, while leaving others wondering where he came from and why his biography is so enigmatic. When two brothers discover Fox’s car half-submerged in a pond in a local nature preserve and parts of an unidentified body strewn about the nearby woods, the entire community, including Detective Horace Zwender and his deputy, begins to ask disturbing questions about Francis Fox and who he might really be.A hypnotic, galloping tale of crime and complicity, revenge and restitution, victim vs. predator, Joyce Carol Oates’s Fox illuminates the darkest corners of the human psyche while asking profound moral questions about justice and the response evil demands. A character as magnetically diabolical as Patricia Highsmith’s Tom Ripley and Vladimir Nabokov’s Humbert Humbert, Francis Fox enchants and manipulates nearly everyone around him, until at last he meets someone he can’t outfox. Written in Oates’s trademark intimate, sweeping style, and interweaving multiple points of view, Fox is a triumph of craftsmanship and artistry, a novel as profound as it is propulsive, as moving as it is full of mystery.
