WHO IS MARY SUE
Book ID/图书代码： 04560019C00043
English Summary/英文概要： In the language of fan fiction, a ‘Mary Sue’ is an idealised
and implausibly flawless character: a female archetype
that can infuriate audiences for its perceived narcissism.
Such is the setting for this brilliant debut by Sophie Collins.
In a series of verse and prose collages, Who Is Mary Sue?
exposes the presumptive politics behind writing and readership:
the notion that men invent while women reflect; that a man
writes of the world outside while a woman will turn to the interior.
A work of captivation and correction, it will resonate with anyone
concerned with identity, shame, gender, trauma, composition
and culture: everyone, in other words, who wishes to live openly
and think fearlessly in the modern world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 用小说的语言来说，“玛丽•苏”是一个理想化的、难以置信的完美无瑕的角色：一个会因自恋而激怒观众的女性原型。这就是索菲•柯林斯这部杰出处女作的背景。
在一系列的诗歌和散文拼贴中，谁是玛丽•苏揭露写作和读者背后的假定政治：男人发明而女人反映的观念；男人写的是外在的世界，而女人写的是内在的世界。这是一部充满魅力和纠错的作品，它会与任何关心身份、羞耻、性别、创伤、构成和文化的人产生共鸣:换句话说，每个人都希望在现代世界中开放地生活和无畏地思考。(WYL)
Awards/获奖情况：赞美谁是玛丽•苏?
“这是对持续压制女性声音的文化环境的一次紧急拷问……是一部极需的、令人震惊的女权主义抱怨作品。”——亚力克莎•温克，诗歌评论
“谁是玛丽•苏?，一篇令人吃惊的原创文章要求不同的阅读模式，鼓励避免标签和简单的结论读者会变得更有疑问，更投入到性别歧视的赌注中，有限的批评，更喜欢这本矫正和迷人的处女作。”——《卫报》
“2018年最具原创性的处女作是苏菲•柯林斯的《谁是玛丽•苏?》这是一部独特的女性主义想象作品，介于诗歌和散文之间。这是一个关于羞耻和厌恶的梦一般的故事，以令人不安的冷静讲述:

Praise for Who is Mary Sue?:
‘An urgent interrogation of the
cultural conditions that continue
to suppress women’s voices … a
much-needed work of stunning
feminist complaint.’ - Alexa
Wink, Poetry Review
‘Who Is Mary Sue? is a startlingly
original text that requests a
di erent mode of reading, one
that encourages avoiding labels
and easy conclusions. Readers
will emerge more interrogative,
more invested in the stakes of
sexist, limited criticism, a er
nishing this corrective and captivating
debut.’ - Guardian
‘ e most original debut of
2018 was Sophie Collins’s Who
Is Mary Sue?, a unique work of
feminist imagining that moves
between verse and prose. At its
heart is e Engine, a dream-like
narrative of shame and disgust,
told with disturbing coolness:
“I woke with cold lips and nose,
and the desire to bite down on
raw clay.’ - Sunday Times, Poetry
Books of the Year
