English Summary/英文概要： Garth Greenwell’s debut novel is the exquisitely rendered story of a young American’s illicit romance in Bulgaria and the harrowing upbringing that first drove him abroad. In a dank bathroom stall in Sofia’s National Palace of Culture, our narrator first encounters Mitko, a 23-year-old male prostitute with a bad liver, a criminal bent, and an irresistibly carnal aura.

Two years later, he finds contentment in a new, more conventional relationship, only for Mitko to reappear, his unshakable presence both a tonic and a plague. Intoxicating and atmospheric, What Belongs to You is a stirring account of lust and loneliness abroad.

Awards/获奖情况： ‘With What Belongs to You American literature is richer by one masterpiece. The character Mitko is unforgettable, as all myths are. He reigns at the heart of this book, surrounded by the magic flames of desire.’ – Edmund White

‘In his spare, haunting novel, Garth Greenwell take sa well-known narrative – an American in Eastern Europe; his infatuation with a local huster – and finds new meaning in it. A poetic, searching and compassionate meditation on the slipperiness of desire, the impossibility of salvation, and the forces of shame, guilt, and yearning that often accompany love, all rendered in language as beautiful and vivid as poetry.’ – Hanya Yanagihara
