THE WHOLE WORLD OVER: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 02330006B01155
English Summary/英文概要： In her second rich, subtle novel, Glass reveals how the past impinges on the present, and how small incidents of fate and chance determine the future. Greenie Duquette has a small bakery in Manhattan’s West Village that supplies pastries to restaurants, including that of her genial gay friend Walter. When Walter recommends Greenie to the governor of New Mexico, she seizes the chance to become the Southwesterner’s pastry chef and to take a break from her marriage to Alan Glazier, a psychiatrist with hidden issues. Taking their four-year-old son, George, with her, Greenie leaves for New Mexico, while figures from her and Alan’s pasts challenge their already strained marriage. Their lives intersect with those of such fully dimensional secondary characters as Fenno McLeod, the gay bookseller from Three Junes; Saga, a 30-something woman who lost her memory in an accident; and Saga’s Uncle Marsden, a Yale ecologist who takes care of her. While this work is less emotionally gripping than Three Junes, Glass brings the same assured narrative drive and engaging prose to this exploration of the quest for love and its tests – absence, doubt, infidelity, guilt and loss. 200,000 first printing; 12-city author tour.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在她第二部内容丰富，情节曲折的小说中，Glass揭示了过去如何影响现在，小的机遇和命运如何来决定未来。Greenie Duquette 在曼哈顿西部一个小城镇中经营一家小的面包店给一些饭店供应面点，其中一家就是自己的同性恋女友Walter。Walter 把她推荐给新墨西哥州的一个官员，Greenie有幸成为西南大饭店的面点厨师，她和丈夫Alan Glazier的关系出现了危机。带着四岁的儿子George，Greenie去了墨西哥州。自己地位的提升，还有丈夫过去的种种所为，使他们原本紧张的婚姻更加不稳定。她们的生活类似于小说《三个六月》的主人公Fenno McLeod, 他是一个同性恋的书商，Saga 在一次事故中失去记忆的人，Saga的叔叔Marsden ，一位耶鲁大学的生物学家。这本书不像《三个六月》那样感情丰富，它揭示了作者对爱情的探求，怀疑，内疚和失落。首印20万册。
