《我的至爱》对禁忌和社会规范进行了坚定的挖掘,充满了悲伤和痴迷。 卢卡斯·莱内维尔德 (Lucas Rijneveld) 轰动国际的小说《夜晚的不适》 (The Discomfort of Evening) 是一部非凡而令人毛骨悚然的续作,这部亵渎的小说以其散文的矛盾之美为动力,让读者紧紧抓住书页。
The electrifying new novel from the sensational bestselling winner of the International Booker Prize.
In the tempestuous summer of 2005, a local veterinarian becomes enraptured by a 14-year-old farmer's daughter - his 'favourite' - as he tends her father's cows. This deeply troubled soul is our narrator: a man who believes he offers the object of his love a tantalizing path out of the constrictions of her conservative rural life, a chance to escape to a world of fantasy. But the obsessive reliance he cultivates builds into a terrifying trap, with a crime and confession at the heart of it that threatens to rip their small community apart.
An unflinching excavation of taboos and social norms, My Heavenly Favourite is a torrent of grief and obsession. The remarkable and chilling successor to Lucas Rijneveld's international sensation, The Discomfort of Evening, this profane novel is powered by the paradoxical beauty of its prose, which holds the reader fast to the page.
