HOLLYWOOD SAVAGE: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 06840010B36386
English Summary/英文概要： Drawing on her knowledge of the contrasting worlds of Hollywood and New York, Kristin McCloy has written a powerful exploration of the effect of fame and the failure of trust in a bi-coastal marriage.
Miles is a successful writer and teacher whose latest book is being made into a high profile movie in Hollywood. While in Hollywood writing the script, Miles begins to suffer from insecurities and enters a world of lies and half-truths. His journal entries record escalating fantasies that his glamorous New York wife, Maggie--a successful journalist who has stayed behind in the New York City to deal with her own commitments--is having an affair with Connor, one of Miles’s young students.
In California, loneliness and alienation take firm hold of Miles’s imagination. Trapped between his fantasy world, and the sun-buffed egocentric society he finds himself in, Miles wallows in his sense of betrayal. Meanwhile, a woman named Lucy gradually enters his life, along with her small son, Walter. Lucy seduces Miles’s imagination with her searching mind, lack of guile, and unselfconscious motherhood, and they move inexorably towards a passionate love-affair, a potent broth of guilt, infidelity, and loss.
With a mature cynicism and flair, Kristin creates profoundly memorable characters and relationships. She captures the flavor of New York City, and the exploitive brashness of Hollywood. Her writing is terse and powerful, alternately lyrical and understated.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 以她对好莱坞和纽约对比强烈的世界的认识为着眼点，克里斯汀•麦克洛伊创作了一次对两地婚姻信任失败和成名效果的探索。 迈尔斯是一个成功的作家和老师，他的最新著作正被演绎成一部好莱坞高制作电影。在好莱坞编写剧本的时候迈尔斯就开始有一种不安全感并进入一个充满谎言和真假参半的事实的世界。他的日记记录了不断升级的幻想：他那迷人的来自纽约的妻子，玛吉——一个成功的记者——一直留在纽约从事自己的事业——与康纳，迈尔斯的年轻学生之一有奸情。
在加州，孤独和疏离感密不透风地充斥着迈尔斯的想象空间。被困在幻想世界和不见阳光、自我为中心的社会中间，迈尔斯沉溺在背叛的感觉中。与此同时，一位名叫露西德女人和她的小儿子沃尔特逐渐走入他的生命。露西以其研究的思维、纯真和无私的母爱使得他们坠入了爱河，从而罪恶感、不忠和伤害接踵而来。
凭借成熟而又玩世不恭和才华，克里斯汀创造深刻难忘的人物及其关系。她捕捉了纽约独有的味道和好莱坞粗鲁莽撞的剥削。她的作品简洁有力，抒情和低调交织。(兼职翻译-JDM)
