內容簡介

內容簡介 《紐約時報》暢銷冠軍暨2017年曼布克獎得主《林肯在中陰》(Lincoln in the Bardo)作者,也是短篇小說大師的喬治.桑德斯(George Saunders),聯袂插畫家兼時尚設計師Chelsea Cardinal共同創作的黑色圖文故事:不斷地追求征服自然,其惡果可是我們所能意料?這是狐狸八寫下的故事:「倫類在仄邊走來走去說:看!有狐狸。然後便丟下一點屎物給我們,很快地,我們吃了角糖爆咪花,幾篇冰乾,還有特新鮮沒臭味的梨兒。」我想:這裡一定是”美屎光場”。狐狸七附和:我想也似。狐狸八在牠們那群狐狸中是出了名的愛做白日夢,對牠不是嗤之以鼻就是翻白眼,直到牠發展了一項新的技能,事情才有所轉變。藉由躲在屋外的灌木叢中,聽著人類媽媽對孩子說的床邊故事,狐狸八學會了”倫類”(人類)的語言,更加深了牠對人的好奇心。但是一棟新的購物商場截斷了食物來源,狐狸八該如何解決這個”偉機”(危機),拯救牠的狐狸同胞們?這本由狐狸八的視角與口氣所寫成的圖文書,充滿幽默與同理心。不經意的錯別字與不符常規的文法,意外地發展出令人捧腹的效果,而結局又是那麼地讓人熱淚盈眶。這本小書,再次證明桑德斯是自馬克吐溫以來最幽默的短篇小說家。From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo, a darkly comic short story about the unintended consequences unleashed by our quest to tame the natural world—featuring gorgeous black-and-white illustrations by Chelsea Cardinal.Fox 8 has always been known as the daydreamer in his pack, the one his fellow foxes regard with a knowing snort and a roll of the eyes. That is, until he develops a unique skill: He teaches himself to speak “Yuman” by hiding in the bushes outside a house and listening to children’s bedtime stories. The power of language fuels his abundant curiosity about people—even after “danjer” arrives in the form of a new shopping mall that cuts off his food supply, sending Fox 8 on a harrowing quest to help save his pack.Told with his distinctive blend of humor and pathos, Fox 8 showcases the extraordinary imaginative talents of George Saunders, whom The New York Times called “the writer for our time.”
