Emma Cline The Guest-客人

在小说的开始时,性工作者亚历克斯被她富有的男友西蒙赶出了位于长岛东端的豪宅。亚历克斯必须做出选择:她可以回到这座城市,在那里她没有朋友,没有公寓,还有一个充满威胁的男人紧随其后;或者她可以等待西蒙的愤怒平息,希望他能在六天后的劳动节派对上挽回她。

她选择了后者。她唯一的工具是一袋名牌服装、被止痛药迷惑的大脑和一部即将失效的手机。但接下来的故事完全是一部披着惊悚片外衣的阶级讽刺剧,逐渐引人入胜。因为亚历克斯年轻、漂亮、衣着考究,所以她遇到的特权人士都相信她也是他们中的一员。他们把她迎入他们的派对、乡村俱乐部、汽车和家里。但亚历克斯是一个过于被动的角色,根本谈不上复仇。而这本书也并不是对富人的严厉打击,而是向读者发出令人不安的提醒:他们是刀枪不入的。

作者:Emma Cline

简介:A young woman pretends to be someone she isn't in this stunning novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Girls.

Summer is coming to a close on the East End of Long Island, and Alex is no longer welcome.

A misstep at a dinner party, and the older man she's been staying with dismisses her with a ride to the train station and a ticket back to the city.

With few resources and a waterlogged phone, but gifted with an ability to navigate the desires of others, Alex stays on Long Island and drifts like a ghost through the hedged lanes, gated driveways, and sun-blasted dunes of a rarified world that is, at first, closed to her. Propelled by desperation and a mutable sense of morality, she spends the week leading up to Labor Day moving from one place to the next, a cipher leaving destruction in her wake.

Taut, propulsive, and impossible to look away from, Emma Cline's The Guest is a spellbinding literary achievement.
