LESS THAN CHARMING
Book ID/图书代码： 12580019C00059
English Summary/英文概要： A novel, LESS THAN CHARMING tells the story of a world beyond a veil in which all of the characters writers have ever created are alive and living in their own society. As writers in the other—human—world constantly write new characters into existence, those characters emerge into this mirror world. A hierarchy evolves as every retelling of existing characters is layered onto the original, adding to and changing their personality, knowledge base, and sometimes their emotional stability. Prince Charming conspires to rule the society of characters, which includes every protagonist and foil you’ve ever found in a story or a book, and the prince is not as charming as you first imagine.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一部小说《不那么迷人》讲述的是一个面纱外的世界，在这个世界里，所有作家笔下的人物都活在他们自己的社会里。在另一个人的世界里，作家不断地创造新的人物，这些人物就出现在这个镜像世界里。随着每一次对现有人物的复述都是在原著的基础上进行的，增加和改变了他们的个性、知识基础，有时还有他们的情绪稳定性，等级制度也随之发展。白马王子密谋统治人物社会，包括你在故事或书中发现的每一个主角和陪衬，而王子并没有你想象的那么迷人。（WYL）

“丽贝卡•德玛雷斯特的《不那么迷人》是一部神奇的混搭作品:一半是童话，一半是神秘，一半是爱情故事。这部小说以令人惊讶的转折、生动的机智和令人难忘的人物带领我们踏上了一段充满活力的旅程。最重要的是，这是对艺术和讲故事传统的一种庆祝，是对那些每次我们重新讲述时都会激发想象力的古老故事的一种致敬。”——斯科特•纳德尔森，《我和你之间》的作者

"Rebecca Demarest’s "Less Than Charming" is a magical mash-up: part fairy tale, part mystery, part love story, the novel takes us on a dynamic ride with surprising turns, lively wit, and unforgettable characters. Above all, it’s a celebration of the art and tradition of storytelling, a winning tribute to those old tales that spark the imagination every time we tell them anew."--Scott Nadelson, author of Between You and Me & Saving Stanley
