THE END OF BOYS
Book ID/图书代码： 12312511B45362
English Summary/英文概要： Peter Hoffmeister was a nervous child who ran away repeatedly and bit his fingernails until they bled. Home-schooled until the age of fourteen, he had only to deal with his parents and siblings on a daily basis, yet even that sometimes proved too much for him. Over the years, he watched his mother disintegrate into her own form of mania, while his father—a scholar and doctor who had once played semi-pro baseball—was strict and pushed Peter particularly hard. He wanted only the best from his son but in the process taught Peter to expect only the worst from himself. In the midst of his chaotic home life, Peter began to hear a voice—an insistent, monotone that would periodically dictate his actions. When Peter finally entered public school he started to break free from his father’s control—only to fall sway to the voice more and more. His obsessive-compulsive behavior morphed into ruthless competition in sports and, ultimately, into lies, violence, and drugs.
The End of Boys follows Hoffmeister to the very brink of sanity and back, in a harrowing and heartbreaking account of the trauma of adolescence and the redemption available to us all, if only we choose to find it.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 彼得.霍夫梅斯特曾是一个焦躁不安的孩子，他多次离家出走，咬自己的指甲直到流血。
他在家里上学一直到14岁，每天只面对父母和兄弟姐妹，尽管这样他还是觉得不堪重负。
几年后，他亲眼看见自己的母亲精神分裂成狂躁症，作为学者和医生并且曾经打过半辈子棒球的父亲，时常严厉地责罚彼得。
他要自己的儿子成为最好的，但在接受教育的过程中，彼得认为自己是最差劲的。在其混乱的家庭生活的中，彼得开始听到一种声音，很单调却很坚持，定期记录着他的行为。
当彼得进入公立学校时，他开始挣脱父亲的控制，只是越来越摆向那个声音。
他的行为强迫症演变成体育活动中无情的竞争，最后演变成谎言，暴力和吸毒。
《男孩们的结局》跟随霍夫梅斯特来到理智与回归的边缘，用痛苦心碎的语言描述我们每个人都能接触到的青春期与救赎的创伤，如果我们去发现的话。(兼职翻译-PZ)
Awards/获奖情况：Praise for The End of Boys
"Bluntly compelling . . . Hoffmeister foregrounds his own experiences over introspection or critique, lending the work a rare weight and immediacy." ---The Portland Mercury
"In vivid prose, Peter Brown Hoffmeister depicts the relentlessly violent days and nights of a male adolescence. He writes about authorities’ failures to protect their young charges, and about the consequences of those failures. At the book’s best moments, Hoffmeister looks directly at his rage and tells us what he sees." ---Sarah Manguso, author of The Two Kinds of Decay
彼得.布朗.霍夫梅斯特用生动的诗歌描绘了一个少年日日夜夜永不停息的暴虐生活。他叙述了他没有能够保护那些年幼的需要照顾的人，以及这些失败导致的结果。在书中的高潮部分，霍夫梅斯特正视自己的愤怒，并告诉我们他看见了什么。“--- Sarah Manguso，《两种腐朽》的作者。
"Compelling from the first page, The End of Boys is a stark and gritty memoir of a tormented adolescence, where the demons of obsessive compulsive disorder, drugs, and violence are banished by the healing light of literature and faith. Both haunting and uplifting, The End of Boys is a touching and powerful account of a turbulent transition from youth to manhood." ---Jamie Maslin, author of Socialist Dreams and Beauty Queens and Iranian Rappers and Persian Porn
“从第一页起就激发起人们阅读的兴趣，《男孩们的结局》是一个饱受折磨的少年的荒凉粗糙的回忆录，强迫症，吸毒和暴力的心魔被文学和信仰治愈。久久萦绕于心头又振奋人心，《男孩们的结局》以感人的笔触描写了从少年成长为男人的混乱过度。”--- Jamie Maslin，《社会主义梦想》、《美女皇后》、《伊朗说唱歌手》和《波斯色情文学》的作者。
"The End of Boys is remarkable story, a testament to the spirit of young boys everywhere, to mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, to friends and the parents of friends, to teachers, cops, and counselors, to art and literature and the human desire to find a place in the world, to build a meaningful life out of shards and fragments. Peter Hoffimeister has written a terrific book about the human struggle to regain ourselves after great disillusion and desperation. This is a fine book, made of fine true words, each one tough, carefully chosen, and hard-won. I read The End of Boys in one sitting." ---Dorianne Laux, author of What We Carry, finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award

It will punch you in the face, in the best way possible." ---Miriam Gershow, author of The Local News
