內容簡介

橫跨神祕學與藝術史、「女性主義平反之作」!以傳奇偉特塔羅牌繪製者Pamela 'Pixie' Colman Smith為主角,敘述這位勇敢天真的年輕女性,一如「愚者」,在20世紀初的藝術巨浪中,憑藉才華、勇氣與決心,在通靈會、祕密、成功與毀滅之間掙扎與翻身,走出屬於自己的道路。

Whitbread Prize 與 Orange Prize 入圍作家 Jill Dawson 帶來一部氣勢恢宏的歷史小說,描繪出版人、插畫家與神秘學愛好者 Pamela「Pixie」Colman Smith 的傳奇人生。

「Pixie——我喜歡這名字。Pixie Pamela。很適合我:有時小得幾乎看不見,有時又能跳到天花板上,俯瞰所有人。」

二十世紀初,Pamela “Pixie” Colman Smith 是個充滿矛盾的年輕女子:勇敢卻天真,極具藝術天賦卻沒有正統學院訓練;迷戀神秘學,卻對周遭世界保持懷疑。

在摯愛的母親與性格複雜卻心地善良的父親相繼離世後,Pixie 被推入世紀末藝術圈那充滿權力與政治的世界。她努力讓自己的作品被看見,為自己開創一條屬於藝術家的道路。

故事橫跨 牙買加、德文郡、倫敦與布魯克林,從靈媒降神會到藝術沙龍,從秘密與挫敗到成功與毀滅。《Pixie》描寫一位女性藝術家在世界邊緣掙扎、堅持與創造的旅程。

在這部小說中,Jill Dawson 以鮮明生動的筆觸,重現真實歷史人物——藝術家、出版人,也是經典 Rider–Waite–Smith 塔羅牌插畫家的 Pamela “Pixie” Colman Smith,讓這位長久被忽視的重要創作者重新被世界看見。


From Whitbread Prize and Orange Prize-shortlisted author Jill Dawson comes a sweeping and vivid novel about publisher, illustrator and occultist Pamela 'Pixie' Colman Smith

"Pixie". I like it. "Pixie Pamela". It's a good name for me: sometimes tiny and invisible. Other times bouncing up to the ceiling to look down on everyone.

It's the turn of the twentieth century and Pamela 'Pixie' Colman Smith is a young woman of stark contradictions: plucky yet naïve, artistically gifted despite lacking classical training, fascinated by the esoteric but sceptical of the world around her.

After the deaths of her beloved mother and her troubled but well-intentioned father, Pixie finds herself in the complex, political world of fin-de-siècle art, trying to get her stunning work seen and to forge a name and a path for herself in life. Across Jamaica, Devon, London and Brooklyn, Pixie is a novel of epic proportions, a tale of the twists and turns, séances and secrets, successes and devastation, of one young woman's talent, grit and determination.

In Pixie, Whitbread and Orange Prize-shortlisted author Jill Dawson renders the real-life figure of Pamela 'Pixie' Colman Smith, artist, publisher and illustrator of the still-iconic Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck, in arrestingly vivid detail, breathing life into a story that is instantly knowable, but has, until now, eluded popular imagination.

各界推薦

Pixie is a captivating insight into the life of the most famous occult artist you've never heard of -- PAULA HAWKINS, author of The Girl on the Train

In Pixie, Jill Dawson has deftly conjured back into life a woman who is shrouded in mystery and the occult. For too long Pamela Coleman Smith has remained an anecdote to England's rich history of magic, when indeed, via her life and drawings for the Ryder-Waite-Smith tarot deck, she played a central role . . . I not only rejoiced in this book, but welcome it as an important work of feminist reclamation . . . Pixie is a story that needed to be told. She is in good hands, here, and a work of magic has been done. It's thrilling to live with this book -- MONIQUE ROFFEY, author of The Mermaid of Black Conch

About how difference and quirkiness should be celebrated. And how we should trust our instincts. And it's about how hard it is to be a woman artist -- GEORGINA MOORE, author of The Garnett Girls
