內容簡介

內容簡介 《正常人》作者莎莉魯尼2024全球矚目新書慾望、絕望、與希望，一個人的內心能承載多少，不至崩潰？兩個截然不同的兄弟，交職一個關於悲傷、愛情和家庭的動人故事。父親的死亡，是他們新的交會點、也是彼此探尋生命可能的機會。An exquisitely moving story about grief, love, and family, from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney.Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common.Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties--successful, competent, and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father's death, he's medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women--his enduring first love, Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke.Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude--a period of desire, despair, and possibility; a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking.

各界推薦

各界推薦 The literary phenomenon of the decade. ― Guardian on NORMAL PEOPLEI love Sally Rooney. She has many imitators, but few equals. -- Zadie SmithI can't think of another writer who so perfectly captures the intensity and the pain of both friendship and romantic love. ― RedRooney has been called the voice of her generation (and she probably is), but her talents are greater than that. Her genius for capturing people with all their self-conceits and occasional virtues puts her in a fine tradition of sharp social observation stretching back to Jane Austen. ― The Times
