Half His Age

內容簡介

內容簡介 這是一部備受期待、集幽默、悲傷與驚悚於一身的小說，探討性、階級、慾望與權力——以及我們為了得到所想之物，會做出多麼（往往是錯誤的）極端努力。出自《我很高興我媽死了》作者、銷量突破三百萬冊的《星期日泰晤士報》暢銷作家珍妮特·麥庫迪（Jennette McCurdy）。「震撼、誠實且毫不留情。」——《星期日泰晤士報》風格副刊（Sunday Times Style） 「一場幽默、令人坐立難安的勝利之作。」——《衛報》（The Guardian） 「啟發思考、震撼且帶有黑色幽默。」——《獨立報》（Independent）瓦多（Waldo）飢腸轆轆。她渴求性愛、直言不諱、天真卻也睿智。她衝動、孤獨、憤怒且痛苦，滿腦子都是無止盡的渴望。而她最想要的東西？是她的創意寫作老師，科吉先生（Mr. Korgy）。科吉先生有家庭、孩子、房貸與帳單，還有死去的夢想、日漸衰老的外貌與隆起的肚腩。她不知道自己為何想要他。是因為他的激情嗎？他的閱歷？還是因為他懂得那些她未曾涉獵的書影作品？抑或他們真的是靈魂伴侶，用同樣的濾鏡在看待周遭的世界？又或者，僅僅是因為在無人察覺她的時候，他看見了她，這便已足夠。《他年紀的一半》（Half His Age，暫譯）展現了驚人的洞察力，既有刻薄的幽默又極具感染力。這是一部深刻的研究，描述一名渴望關注的十七歲少女如何無視所有阻礙，只為求得被看見、被渴望，以及被愛。The highly anticipated, funny, sad, thrilling novel about sex, class, desire, and power – and the (often misguided) lengths we’ll go to to get what we want, from Jennette McCurdy, the three-million copy, Sunday Times bestselling author of I'm Glad My Mom Died.'SHOCKING, HONEST AND UNSPARING' SUNDAY TIMES STYLE'A HILARIOUS AND UNCOMFORTABLE TRIUMPH' GUARDIAN'THOUGHT-PROVOKING, SHOCKING AND DARKLY COMIC' INDEPENDENTWaldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Hurting. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all? Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher.Mr Korgy, with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesn’t know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films that she doesn’t? Or are they actually kindred spirits, sharing the same filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it’s just enough that he sees her when no one else does.Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is an incisive study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles in her effort to be seen, to be desired and to be loved.
