THE GULF, MY SHOULDER…: NORTH WAS THE HORIZON

Book ID/图书代码： 12679309B33766

English Summary/英文概要： “The Gulf, my shoulder…North was the horizon” takes place in three countries from 1962-2071. It is a dark comedy of violence, redemption and heartbreak. In 2058, time travel is un-covered, and a voyage to the future is launched for which Bayard, a wizened intellectual, serves as analyst. Due to the incomprehensible data provided by the team, trips to the future are outlawed; however, journeys to the past are ok. For treason, Bayard, 85, is exiled from 2071 to 2004 where he must live in Mexico as a professor named Roland, 33. Roland does not recall his life as Bayard nor is he aware that his true self, a younger Bayard, is also walking the earth. In the 21st century, identities duplicate, leaving many individuals restless until they embrace or destroy their counterpart.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书的故事背景被设定在1962年至2071年间，整整横跨三个世纪。这是一部充满着暴力、救赎以及悲情色彩的黑色喜剧。故事发生于2058年，对于那时的社会而言，时空旅行仍然极具风险性。即便如此，却依然有人们勇于前往，而恰恰主角贝阿德，便担任了此行的技术分析员一职。由于探索队反馈的信息并不全面，是故最终对于未来世界的探险活动遭到了法律的明文禁止；而相反的，逆向返回过去时空的旅行却获得了批准。不幸的是，时值85岁的贝阿德因为叛国之罪而遭到流放，他被迫从2071年发配到2004年的过去，并以一名33岁教授的身份生活在墨西哥，而他在那个世界的化名被叫做罗兰。作为罗兰的贝阿德丧失了有关于之前的所有记忆，同时他也并未意识到，另一个年轻的自己，正和他身处于同一个时代。于是围绕这一重叠的身份，两个贝阿德之间就此展开了一段跌宕起伏的故事…(AW)
