THE GOSPEL OF ANARCHY

Book ID/图书代码： 04332810B37325

English Summary/英文概要： With wit, warmth, and remarkable insight, Taylor tracks the disillusionments and epiphanies of young punks living on the outskirts of Gainesville, FL. The home they share is a crumbling, one-story shack that contains their debauchery, affairs, theorizing, and eventual fiery transcendence. All of existence seems to pack itself within the walls of their hovel (except when it doesn’t) as Taylor explores the boundaries (if there are any) between religion and politics, faith and fanaticism, and what happens when those boundaries break down. Taylor also produces a cultural portrait of late-90s America, of our pre-millennial anxiety, of our vague sense that the world would soon change forever.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 泰勒运用他的智慧、热情以及惊人的洞察力追述了聚居在佛罗里达州金斯维尔城郊的一群小混混的幻灭。他们的家就是一间破旧不堪的棚屋，他们在里面荒淫无度、恣意妄为、不切实际，并最终在狂热中毁灭。随着泰勒探讨宗教与政治，信仰与狂热主义之间的界限，以及这些界限一旦破裂后所会产生的后果，一切生存的含义就包含在他们的棚屋里（当然也有例外）。与此同时，泰勒还对美国90年代后期出生的孩子、前年初期的忧患以及我们所持有的模糊概念—世界格局将要永远改变—进行了刻画和描述。(兼职翻译-XMM)

Awards/获奖情况：Among the malcontents in Taylor’s narrow debut novel (after collection Everything Here Is the Best Thing Ever) is David, a Gainesville, Fla., college dropout with a dead-end job. After destroying his computer, he chances upon a pair of dumpster divers who appear to have more going on than he does, and so he follows them to a rundown punk house called Fishgut and quickly adopts the lifestyle, growing a beard and engaging in a relentless bout of three-ways with a couple of punk girls. They go to church together (partly for the free food) and end up forming their own cult based on the inscrutable writings of an anarchist named Parker who has disappeared from Fishgut. The Fishgut inner circle grows smaller and crazier as the crew pushes their new religion with a popular zine, though the events don’t seem to build so much as pile up. Taylor can set a scene, but he takes his characters and their screwy subculture so seriously that you’d think he, himself, was a convert. With little attention paid to finding direction, the novel, like its characters, simply drifts.(Feb.)
"For those of us not mired in strange sub-sub-culture squalor, it can be a disconcerting read at times, but its looming questions and cracked worldview are sure to stick around in your consciousness, relentlessly stalking a ground they won’t give up anytime soon."--"Nylon" Magazine
