THE HUSBAND’S DILEMMA

Book ID/图书代码: 03890004B05918

English Summary/英文概要: With the publication of her wonderful first novel, Places to Look for A Mother, Nicole Stansbury was hailed as "a terrific writer" (The Washington Post) and "a thoroughly American original" (Jayne Anne Phillips). Now, she delivers on the promise of her auspicious debut with The Husband’s Dilemma, a riveting story collection that reads like a fictional counterpart to Cathi Hanauer’s best-selling essay collection, The Bitch in the House. In the title story, a sex-starved husband takes desperate and dangerous measures in order to revive his wife’s dormant libido and gratify his own. In "A Woman Sweeping," an affluent housewife lets loose her repressed lust for a repulsive repairman. In "The Activist," a mother obsessed with child safety protests potentially harmful products by ceaselessly badgering corporations with letters of complaint. An ugly custody battle takes a loving father by surprise in "Hannah’s Announcement." In these and other stories, Stansbury portrays the feverish underside of domesticity with mordant humor and searing insight. A resounding confirmation of her exceptional literary talent, The Husband’s Dilemma is sure to delight Stansbury’s existing fans and earn her many new ones.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: Stansbury成功的推出了第一本小说“寻找母亲的地方”之后,就被誉为“了不起的作家”(华盛顿邮报点评),“纯正美国味”(飞利浦斯,安娜)。现在她不负众望,推出了第二本小说《老公的无奈》。这是一本精彩的小说集,读起来就象Cathi Hanauer的畅销随笔集《小屋中的贱妇》。本书是由一个个有趣的小故事构成,书名故事中,一位处于性饥渴的丈夫想尽一切办法要恢复他妻子的性冷淡来满足他的欲望。而在另一个故事中一位富庶的妇人向一名好色的屋顶修理工发泄了压抑了许久的情欲。在“积极分子”这一故事中,有位母亲整天担心小孩的安全,不停的骚扰那些生产有潜在危害的产品的公司,给他们写抗议信。在“汉那的声明”中,一场肮脏的夺子战让一位慈父措手不及。Stansbury透过这些小故事用尖刻的幽默和灼热的眼光描绘出了家庭生活中不为人知的混乱一面。《老公的无奈》进一步肯定了Stansbury独特的文学才能,定会取悦于现在的读者,当然也会吸引更多的人来看她的小说。
