ISLE OF DOGS
Book ID/图书代码： 07861208B21970
English Summary/英文概要： Anytown, England, Jeremy Shepherd has reached post-ambition, giving up the trappings of his London life (flash job, flash cars, even flashier girlfriends) and moved back to his home town and his parents’ house. By day, he is a low-level civil servant, chained to his desk and content to idle away the hours filing and answering emails. There isn’t a lot to do in a small town, but the English are very resourceful and Jeremy quickly finds a hobby that delivers lots of fresh air and exercise. By night, he prowls local car parks to indulge in altogether more challenging pursuits - anonymous sex with strangers. This is no ordinary hobby - each encounter is tinged with a definite air of danger, as police stake out each site and the cloak of anonymity brings its own risks.As the scene’s night-time liaisons increasingly threaten the sensibilities of the local Daily Mail readers, things take a turn for the worse. Locals take a dislike to the illicit rendezvous and as the police step up surveillance, private pursuits risk becoming very public.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 杰里米"谢普"谢波德一直咋晚上出没于英格兰中部。洁白的牙齿和整齐的头发。配以正装。在一个袋子里，装有厨房用纸、一个以备补充能量的香蕉、一些避孕套和 一管润滑剂。他将车停靠在，超市停车场一角，以此可以避开监控镜头。谢波德又一个怪癖的嗜好，喜欢在大庭广众之下嗨咻，不仅如此他还喜欢看他人。也许你会觉得有些恶心。但笔者戴维斯正让读者透过这个故事的主人公的眼睛来看世界。就像《发条橙》中那位无恶不作的少年阿历克斯那样，在暴力中寻找人生的意义，我们的这位故事主角谢波德在公共性生活中，寻找一种可以达到的“安静的，学术上的，虔诚的忠诚度”的意义，这过程中一些“纯粹的”，“民主的”东西。自然而然地，田园般的诗歌生活必须结束，而你也知道这一切终将以失败收场。当然，他对性欲的沉迷是一种错误，这显然是西方世界的一种堕落和沉沦；而更多地有些像是一种病症。而当他不可避免地临近归宿时，你会感到一种痛彻的失落感，这便是本书作者的妙笔之处。(Sandy)
