LONG TIME, NO SEE
Book ID/图书代码: 03277011B44131
English Summary/英文概要: LONG TIME, NO SEE introduces us to the unforgettable world of Mister Psyche in the isolated coastal townland of Ballintra in the north-west of Ireland. Recent school-leaver, occasional worker, full-time companions and Malibu provider to Uncle Joe-Joe and his friend Blackbird, Psyche is a boy on the cusp of adulthood, undone by a recent traumatic event.
Hanging out with men some fifty-plus years his senior proves hazardous for Mister Psyche when the appearance of a bullet-hole in Uncle Joe-Joe’s window draws him into a series of (mis)adventures which unsettle and bemuse. Perhaps The Blackbird is losing it? Or perhaps The General has decided to act on a decades-old grudge? Whichever way, as the paranoia grabs a creeping hold on Uncle Joe-Joe, his fragile world threatens to collapse. And it is Mister Psyche who must digest this and acknowledge the new world taking shape in the old.
A novel about community, family, love and bonds across generations, LONG TIME, NO SEE is one of the most significant novels to come out of Ireland in this new century. An epic in miniature, peopled by a cast of innocents and broken misfits, its still, lyrical power casts a miraculous literary spell.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 《好久不见》向我们介绍了Mister Psyche在东北爱尔兰西部巴林特拉沿海孤岛上难忘的经历。近期刚刚辍学,兼职工人,全职看护和为Joe-Joe叔叔和朋友Blackbird养家,Psyche是一个处于童年边缘的孩子,因最近发生的事件受到创伤。
在与一些五十多岁的男人到处闲逛时,他的这些前辈们为Mister Psyche 证明了危险的存在,当一颗子弹把Joe-Joe叔叔的窗口打破了一个洞,并把他牵入了一场动乱和困惑的冒险中。也许 Blackbird正在迷失?又或许将军已经因数十年的怨恨决定采取行动?无论怎样,由于Joe-Joe叔叔的妄想,他的世界崩溃倒戈。Mister Psyche必须理解这一点,承认新的世界正在旧世界中形成。
这是一本关于社会,家庭,爱情和跨代契约的小说,《好久不见》是爱尔兰新世纪中最具代表性的小说之一。这是一个史诗的缩略图,由无辜者和脆弱的人组成,抒情的能力蒙上了神奇的魅力。(兼职翻译-PXD)
