THE DOOR
Book ID/图书代码： 00200011B49059
English Summary/英文概要： ‘Mass hysterical outbreaks rarely have identifiable inceptions, but the event I recall most vividly occurred on Sunday 16th September when a young child in butterfly pyjamas slaughtered her grandmother with a nail-gun to the neck...’ When Harris Lock travels to Taiwan to investigate the fallout of a fraud scandal, he has no reason to connect the case with a bizarre domestic atrocity back home. Or with the increasingly odd behaviour of his beloved step-son, Freddy. Human relationships are not Harris’ forte: Asperger’s Syndrome has seen to that, but he has a talent for spotting patterns. So when an unprecedented double epidemic of industrial sabotage and child violence starts sweeping the globe, he begins to form connections that force him to question the factual principles on which he has staked his life, his career, and – most devastatingly of all – his role as a father…
Part ghost story, part psychological thriller, The Door is a powerful, bleak, and viscerally disturbing portrait of apocalypse in embryo. It continues a run of astonishing novels from Liz Jensen that test our notions of genre and expand the boundaries of literary fiction.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 大规模的混乱歇斯底里般的爆发，人们却找不到任何原因。不过我所回忆的事件至今依旧清晰可见、历历在目。那是9月16号，星期六，一个身穿带有蝴蝶图案睡衣的小孩子用一把钉子枪击中其祖母的颈部，将其残忍杀害。 哈里斯.洛克前往台湾调查一场诈骗丑闻的前因后果，他觉得这场案件与一场怪异的家庭暴力事件并无关系，当然与他自己深爱的继子弗雷德日益表现出的古怪行为也毫无瓜葛。搞好人际关系并不是哈里斯的强项：亚斯伯格综合征（Asperger’s Syndrome）的影响虽然存在，但是他却有查清模式的天赋。因此，在一场史无前例的双重工业破坏活动和儿童暴力蔓延全球时，哈里斯开始将自己所质疑的原则与他所下的赌注—他的生命、事业以及自己作为父亲的身份—密切联系起来。
这既是一本鬼故事，也是一部心理惊悚小说。《门》用充满力量、荒凉的笔调描述了一个处在萌芽初期的大灾难。本书出自利兹.延森之手，其惊人的魅力再次颠覆了我们的文类理念，同时扩展了文学作品的范围。(兼职翻译-XMM)
