The Vulnerables

內容簡介

內容簡介 努涅斯省思寫作本質新作探索時代生命課題當陌生人願意向彼此敞開心扉，即使是最微小的關懷也多少能緩解他人痛苦。美國國家圖書獎得主努涅斯新作場景設定在疫情初萌的紐約：朋友的朋友艾芮詩因疫情困在加州，年長女作家搬到艾芮詩的大公寓幫忙照看金剛鸚鵡尤力克，沒想到一名Z世代學生突然出現，宣稱他是尤力克的保姆。在與陌生事物磨合的歲月中，女作家漸漸克服寫作焦慮和染疫的恐懼。The New York Times–bestselling, National Book Award–winning author of The Friend and What Are You Going Through brings her singular voice to a story about modern life and connectionElegy plus comedy is the only way to express how we live in the world today, says a character in Sigrid Nunez’s ninth novel. The Vulnerables offers a meditation on our contemporary era, as a solitary female narrator asks what it means to be alive at this complex moment in history and considers how our present reality affects the way a person looks back on her past.Humor, to be sure, is a priceless refuge. Equally vital is connection with others, who here include an adrift member of Gen Z and a spirited parrot named Eureka. The Vulnerables reveals what happens when strangers are willing to open their hearts to each other and how far even small acts of caring can go to ease another’s distress. A search for understanding about some of the most critical matters of our time, Nunez’s new novel is also an inquiry into the nature and purpose of writing itself.
