內容簡介

內容簡介 《正常人》作者莎莉魯尼2024全球矚目新書除了血緣，他們似乎毫無共通之處——彼得與伊凡·庫貝克兄弟，正處在喪父的悲痛時期。彼德是30多歲的都柏林律師，成功、自律，看似無懈可擊。但在父親過世後，他靠藥物入睡，並在兩段截然不同的關係中掙扎：一是他多年來放不下的初戀情人希薇亞，另一則是玩世不恭的大學生娜歐蜜。伊凡，22歲，是位專業西洋棋手，總認為自己孤僻、不擅社交，是哥哥的反面。正當他沉浸在喪父初期的幾週內，遇見了瑪格麗特——一位從動盪過去中走出來的年長女性，兩人的命運迅速交織，變得密不可分。對沉浸於喪父哀痛的兄弟和他們的愛人而言，這似乎是一段新的插曲——慾望、絕望與可能性交織的時刻，也是一個探索：一個人到底能承載多少生活的重量而不至崩潰？AN IRISH TIMES TOP 100 IRISH BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURYFrom the author of the multimillion-copy bestseller Normal People, an exquisitely moving story about grief, love and family.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.
