书籍简介
《Shuggie Bain》讲述了年轻的舒吉·贝恩令人难忘的故事。20世纪80年代，舒吉·贝恩是一个甜美又孤独的男孩，他在苏格兰格拉斯哥的破旧公共住房里度过了他的童年。撒切尔的政策使丈夫和儿子失业，城市臭名昭著的泛滥也在酝酿之中。
舒吉的母亲艾格尼丝走在一条不受约束的道路上:她是舒吉的指路明灯，同时也是他和他的兄弟姐妹们的负担。她梦想着有一间有自己前门的房子，一边翻看着《Freemans》的目录，一边赊购一份小小的幸福，只要能点亮她灰暗的生活就行。艾格尼丝嫁给了一个花心的出租车司机丈夫，她以漂亮的外表保持着她的骄傲——她的蜂箱、化妆品和珠光宝气的假牙给人留下了格拉斯哥人伊丽莎白·泰勒的迷人形象。在表面之下，艾格尼丝在喝酒中找到了越来越多的慰藉，她把每周的大部分收益——全家人都得靠藏在手提包里的超强啤酒罐和倒在茶杯里的啤酒维生。埃斯的大一些的孩子找到了与母亲保持安全距离的方法，他们抛弃了舒吉去照顾她，因为她在酗酒和戒酒之间摇摆不定。与此同时，舒吉也在努力成为他渴望成为的正常男孩，但每个人都意识到他是“不正确的”，一个男孩有一个秘密，只有他能看到。艾格尼丝很支持她的儿子，但是她的毒瘾使她身边的每一个人都黯然失色——甚至是她心爱的舒吉。
《Shuggie Bain》讲述了一个令人心碎的关于毒瘾、性和爱情的故事，讲述了一个很少出现在小说中的工薪阶层家庭的史诗般的故事。本书收录了爱德华·路易斯、艾伦·霍林赫斯特、弗兰克·麦考特和汉亚·柳原的作品，这是一位才华横溢的小说家的出书，他有一个强大而重要的故事要讲述。
Shuggie Bain is the unforgettable story of young Hugh “Shuggie” Bain, a sweet and lonely boy who spends his 1980s childhood in run-down public housing in Glasgow, Scotland. Thatcher’s policies have put husbands and sons out of work, and the city’s notorious drugs epidemic is waiting in the wings.
Shuggie’s mother Agnes walks a wayward path: she is Shuggie’s guiding light but a burden for him and his siblings. She dreams of a house with its own front door while she flicks through the pages of the Freemans catalogue, ordering a little happiness on credit, anything to brighten up her grey life. Married to a philandering taxi-driver husband, Agnes keeps her pride by looking good—her beehive, make-up, and pearly-white false teeth offer a glamorous image of a Glaswegian Elizabeth Taylor. But under the surface, Agnes finds increasing solace in drink, and she drains away the lion’s share of each week’s benefits—all the family has to live on—on cans of extra-strong lager hidden in handbags and poured into tea mugs. Agnes’s older children find their own ways to get a safe distance from their mother, abandoning Shuggie to care for her as she swings between alcoholic binges and sobriety. Shuggie is meanwhile struggling to somehow become the normal boy he desperately longs to be, but everyone has realized that he is “no right,” a boy with a secret that all but him can see. Agnes is supportive of her son, but her addiction has the power to eclipse everyone close to her—even her beloved Shuggie.
A heartbreaking story of addiction, sexuality, and love, Shuggie Bain is an epic portrayal of a working-class family that is rarely seen in fiction. Recalling the work of Édouard Louis, Alan Hollinghurst, Frank McCourt, and Hanya Yanagihara, it is a blistering debut by a brilliant novelist who has a powerful and important story to tell.
