LAST WOMAN STANDING

Book ID/图书代码： 06814017C00088

English Summary/英文概要： Comedian Dana Diaz has tried and failed at “making it” in Los Angeles, where an incident she’d sooner forget with a well-known comedian destroyed a long-time writing partnership and sent her back home to Austin, Texas, to start all over again. Paying her dues onstage at a small-time comedy club, she finds a fan in Amanda, a former programmer for a popular app who was driven out of Silicon Valley by a supervisor’s advances. Over a fateful beer, the two bond over their experiences in boys-club professions and come up with a plan: each will find and punish the men who’ve made the other’s life a living hell.

For Dana, it’s just another joke. But Amanda soon puts the idea into practice, using her programming expertise to enact revenge on Dana’s nemesis—and nudging the reluctant Dana to return the favor. With the first thrill of vengeance, Dana begins to wake up to the evidence of abuse all around her—among coworkers at her day job, her fellow female comics, and in her own career—and the second time, she doesn’t need convincing.

Liberated by her rage, her comedy act takes off, and Dana finds herself nearing the success she’s always wanted. But as Amanda’s cathartic swapping game veers toward uncontrollable violence, Dana is pulled ever closer to a revelation about her own past she is desperate to avoid. Learning Amanda’s secrets, Dana wonders—is Amanda out to help her or destroy her? And what will Amanda do if Dana doesn’t hold up her end of a lethal bargain? In the end, Dana must decide whether the truth is worth dying—or killing—for.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 當影視圈的性迫害成為潛規則，
她們訂下約定，要讓她們的加害者付出代價。
達娜接受了艾曼達的提議，
交換彼此要報復的對象，為彼此報仇...
然而這場復仇遊戲卻越演越烈，遠超乎當初的想像，
最後，誰能全身而退？

達娜•迪亞茲是一個懷有抱負的脫口秀喜劇演員，她曾在洛杉磯演藝圈力求上游，卻因遭受性暴力事件而回到了家鄉德克薩斯州的奧斯丁，準備重新開始一切。在一家小型喜劇俱樂部的舞臺上，她遇到了一位女程式設計師，她因遭受性騷擾而被一個主管趕出了矽谷。在一場宿命的酒局中，這兩位女性因為類似的經歷並提出了一個共謀計畫：她們要找到並懲罰那些讓對方的生活變成地獄的人。

對達娜來說，這只是另一個玩笑。但艾曼達很快就把這個想法付諸實踐，利用她的程式設計專長對達娜的對手進行報復——並讓不情願的達娜來回報她。隨著第一次復仇的成功，達娜意識到她周圍有許多女性也有過受到性暴力的遭遇，而這一次，她不用孤軍奮戰。

她的憤怒解放了她的喜劇天賦，達娜發現自己的表演越來越成功，但是，隨著艾曼達宣洩式的交換遊戲轉向無法控制的暴力，達娜發現自己面臨揭露過去的危險，而這是她一直力求避免的。她開始挖掘艾曼達的秘密，艾曼達到底是想幫助她還是毀滅她？如果達娜沒有堅持她們之間的致命交易，艾曼達會怎麼做？最後，達娜必須決定真相是否值得以死亡或殺戮為代價。

Awards/获奖情况：对艾米•金特里的赞美:

“最令人期待的夏季惊悚片之一……”金特里的小说主要不是关于自我的版本，而是来自于一个名字和一个家庭的起源；相反，它将我们的注意力吸引到自我，这是由纯粹的生存所塑造的，以及对复仇的明确呼吁。”——纽约时报书评

“金特里的处女小说比吉莉安•弗林2012年消失的女孩更加的轰动。它如此扣人心弦，以至于你可能开始质疑你自己的家庭的过去。”——娱乐周刊

“初次登场的小说家金特里以清晰、引人注目的写作和精心策划的情节转折，呈现出流派的期望。”——柯斯在“消失的美好”上的评论

“A twisty and engrossing thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.”—Karin Slaughter, International Bestselling Author

“Last Woman Standing may be the first standout suspense novel of 2019. Female rage, stand-up comedy, Highsmith homage, and some surprises that got even me.”—Sarah Weinman, author of The Real Lolita

"A harrowing and razor-sharp thriller, Amy Gentry’s Last Woman Standing feels both ripped from the headlines and utterly timeless as it takes on gender and violence and the far limits of female rage. As the story twists and turns, you’ll feel breathless, troubled and helplessly propelled to its deeply satisfying final pages."—Megan Abbott, author of You Will Know Me

"Savage, brilliant, and pulse-poundingly gripping, Last Woman Standing will leave you stunned. Amy Gentry’s revenge thriller is an explosive answer to America’s long ignored culture of sexual violence, and she uses all the tools of modern life—technology, apps, entertainment, and social media—to create a world where victims become vigilantes and there’s nowhere to hide. Gentry’s gift for tapping into both the humanity and darkness of every character works its way into the reader’s subconscious, making us attempt to draw an impossible line between justice and vengeance. An absolute must-read for 2019."—Mindy Mejia, author of Everything You Want Me to Be and Leave No Trace

“I read Last Woman Standing over the course of one thrilling afternoon—it’s a heart-pounding look at the line between justice and vengeance, and what happens when someone leaps over that line. It’s also a thoughtful look at how women are perceived and treated in male-dominated industries and beyond, and the lasting effects of such treatment, shedding light on an important and pertinent topic in our culture.”—Rena Olsen, author of With You Always and The Girl Before
