SHIFTING THROUGH NEUTRAL | |
| by BRIDGETT DAVIS | ||
| 页数： 定价： 上传日期： | ||
 封面暂缺 | 英文概要: | Set against a backdrop of the Detroit riots of the late Sixties, Motown’s move to L.A., and a car-obsessed culture, Bridgett Davis’ debut novel follows Rae Dodson as she grows up in the divided home of her troubled parents. Her beautiful mother longs for her older lover and first child down in New Orleans, and her father fails to make his own grab at happiness in order to be there for Rae. The almost claustrophobically close, yet sustaining relationship between Rae and her father JD is the novel’s through-line; but the tale returns again and again to the summer when Rae is nine and her mysterious sister Kimmie comes home to live with them, and a chance to make the family whole ends in tragedy. Bridgett Davis is an Associate Professor in the English Department of Baruch College in Manhattan, and the director of the film “Naked Acts”. |

THE INTELLIGENCER | ||||||||
| by Leslie Silbert | |||||||||
| 页数： 定价： 上传日期： | |||||||||
| 英文概要: | In sixteenth-century London, Marlowe embarks on his final intelligence assignment, hoping to find his missing muse, as well as the culprits behind a high-stakes smuggling scheme.
In present-day New York, grad student turned private eye Kate Morgan is called in on an urgent matter. One of her firm’s top clients, a London-based financier, has chanced upon a mysterious manuscript that had been buried for centuries—one that someone, somewhere is desperate to steal. What secret lurks in those yellowed, ciphered pages? And how, so many years later, could it drive someone to kill? As Kate sets off for England, she receives a second assignment. An enigmatic art dealer has made an eleven-million-dollar purchase from an Iranian intelligence officer. Is it a black-market antiquities deal, or something far more sinister? Like Marlowe, Kate moonlights as a spy—her P.I. firm doubles as an off-the-books U.S. intelligence unit—and she is soon caught like a pawn in a deadly international game. As The Intelligencer’s interlocking narratives race toward a stunning collision, and Kate closes in on the truth behind Marlowe’s sudden death, it becomes clear that she may have sealed a similar fate for herself. Propelling us from the shadows of the sixteenth-century underworld to the glitter of Queen Elizabeth’s court, from the dark corridors of a clandestine American op-center to the cliffs of Capri, The Intelligencer is at once a murder mystery, a tale of poetic inspiration, and a richly detailed foray into parallel worlds of espionage and political intrigue separated by centuries. Review From Intelligence Professionals “An artful and ingenious blend of Elizabethan history and twenty-first century espionage by a gifted and insightful observer of the age-old dark side of intelligence.” JACK DEVINE( former Acting Director for Operations at the CIA) |

VICTORINE | ||||||||
| by Catherine Texier | |||||||||
| 页数： 定价： 上传日期： | |||||||||
| 英文概要: | Female sexuality-the driving force of Texier’s abrasive earlier fiction (e.g., Love Me Tender, 1987; Panic Blood, 1990)-takes a much more romantic form here.
Billed as a mixture of fact and fiction and based on the little Texier knew about her eponymous great-grandmother, it’s the story of a grand amour and its bittersweet aftermath. The narrative juxtaposes a day in 1940 when the elderly Victorine, living in France under German occupation, goes to the beach with her middle-aged youngest son-with Victorine’s staggered memories of her youth, marriage, adultery, and repentance. The latter are revealed in gorgeously written extended flashbacks in which we observe, in the early pages, a young girl who is "good at pretending" growing up in provincial VendÉe, briefly encountering handsome teenaged Antoine Langelot, then entering an increasingly unhappy marriage to worldly-and rather officiously masculine-schoolteacher Armand Texier. Victorine bears Armand two children, but dreams of a different, more exotic life. And when Antoine reenters hers and importunes her to travel with him to employment opportunities in Indochina, she vacillates nervously, then, in 1899, leaves her family and joins him. Texier shapes Victorine’s Indochina adventure as a series of disillusionments: Antoine’s repeated business failures, his slow fall into an expatriate culture absorbed in the pursuit of luxury and the consolations of opium, the "message" implicit in a text she uses to study native languages ("The Tale of Kieu," a narrative poem about a woman who gave up everything to be with her lover), and Victorine’s own burgeoning guilt and unhappiness. The close comes with her sorrowful (though resolute) parting from Antoine and her return to VendÉe, and Armand. Echoes of both Madame Bovary and Kate Chopin’s The Awakening suffuse a nevertheless inventive and artfully composed delineation of a beguiling and complicated woman’s arduous journey toward self-understanding.
A subtly textured fourth novel: Texier’s best yet.
