THE MORE I OWE YOU: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 07633010B38289
English Summary/英文概要： In 1951, at the age of forty, the beloved poet Elizabeth Bishop boarded a ship bound for South America. She planned to visit friends in Rio de Janeiro for two weeks; she stayed for seventeen years.
In his mesmerizing debut novel, THE MORE I OWE YOU, Michael Sledge creates an intimate portrait of the beloved poet Elizabeth Bishop—of her life in Brazil and her relationship with her lover, the dazzling, aristocratic Lota de Macedo Soares. Sledge artfully draws from Bishop’s lifelong correspondences and biography to imagine the poet’s intensely private world, revealing the literary genius who lived in conflict with herself both as a writer and as a woman.
A seemingly idyllic existence in Soares’s glass house in the jungle gives way to the truth of Bishop’s lifelong battle with alcoholism, as well as her eventual status as one of modernism’s most prominent writers. Though connected to many of the most famous cultural and political figures of the era, Soares too is haunted by her own demons. As their secrets unfold, the sensuous landscape of Rio de Janeiro and the political turmoil of 1950s Brazil envelop Bishop in a world she never expected to inhabit. THE MORE I OWE YOU is a vivid portrait of two brilliant women whose love for one another pushes them to accomplish enduring works of art.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1951年，敬爱的诗人伊丽莎白•毕晓普40岁时候登上了开往南美洲的船。她计划在两周内看望在里约热内卢的朋友，但她一待就待了17年。
在他令人着迷的处女作《我欠你越多》中，迈克尔•斯莱奇创造了一个心爱的诗人伊丽莎白•毕晓普形象——她在巴西的生活以及和她的情人贵族洛塔•德•马塞多•苏亚雷斯让人眼花缭乱的关系。斯莱奇巧妙地汲取主教一生的传记、书信来想象诗人鲜明的私人世界，揭示了这位文学天才作为作家以及作为一个女人的自我冲突。
苏亚雷斯在丛林中的玻璃房子如同田园诗般的存在也要让位于毕晓普终身与酗酒斗争的事实以及她作为现代最杰出的作家之一的最终地位。尽管与这个时代众多最有名的文化和政治的人物有关，但是苏亚雷斯也被她自己创造的魔鬼所困扰。随着他们的秘密一点点被揭开，里约热内卢感性的风景以及20世纪50年代西政治动荡的局势将毕晓普封锁在她从未希望留下来的地方。《我欠你越多》是对两个精彩的女人之间相互的爱的生动刻画，这种爱推动她们创作出不朽的艺术作品。(兼职翻译-JDM)
