RULES FOR WEREWOLVES
Book ID/图书代码： 08885015B81952
English Summary/英文概要： In the tradition of Colson Whitehead’s Zone One, a visionary debut novel about shelter, escape, family, violence, and dumpster-diving
It’s the story of a restless group of young squatters. They’ve run away from their families and their pasts, questing after knowledge of their most wild selves, roaming the half-empty suburbs of America, occupying the homes of the foreclosed or vacationing, never staying in one place long enough to attract attention, while shoplifting beer at the local Speedy Stop. They’re building a new society with new laws, and no one will stand in their way.
But utopias are hard work, and as Rules for Werewolves unfolds, these young revolutionaries discover that it’s much easier to break laws than to enforce them. Narrated in the shifting perspectives of the pack, Rules for Werewolves follows a community of drifters on the move, who seek a life in a wilderness that, by definition, has no room for them, and a freedom for which they may not be entirely prepared.
Kirk Lynn’s debut novel is a hilarious and deeply moving story of people trying—and failing—to create a new life. At once a fractured fairy tale and a haunting vision of American disaffection, Rules for Werewolves marks the arrival of a fierce new talent.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 继承了科尔森•怀特海德的Zone One中的传统，本书是一本充满着想象力的处女作小说作品，有关于庇护，逃亡，家庭，暴力以及垃圾搜寻。
这是一个有关于一群年轻的房屋擅入者们的故事，他们从各自的家庭和过去中逃亡出来，紧随并探寻着他们最原始和狂野的自我，流浪过了美国郊区的大半部分，借住在那些刚刚被抵押的房屋或是主人离开去度假的房屋中，他们绝不会在一个地方呆太久，因此不会引起任何人的注意，在当地的小超商里偷喝啤酒。他们正用全新的法律建立着一个全新的社会，谁也不能阻挡他们。
然而理想化总是一件实行起来很困难的事情，随着《狼人法则》逐渐展开，这些年轻的革命者们发现，打破规定远比建立和执行规定要简单的多。《狼人法则》在整个群体中不断着转换着叙述者，讲述了这个走在路上的游荡者群体，他们寻求一种野外的生活方式，并没有固定的房屋可以居住，但似乎这份自由也是他们尚未准备好接受的。
科克•林恩的首部小说是一部既令人捧腹大笑又同时极为感人的故事，讲述了人们尝试，失败，并再次创在新生活的故事。《狼人法则》或许是一个破碎的童话故事和美国民众对未来生活的不满预见，但它同时也象征着一名新起之秀的诞生和强势来袭。（DC）
