ANTONIA LIVELY BREAKS THE SILENCE: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 04332811B51188
English Summary/英文概要： Catherine Strayed is living a quiet, un-
remarkable life in a secluded college town following the mysterious death of her husband, a promising writer whose death may have been an accident, a suicide, or perhaps even a murder. When her former mentor (and onetime lover)—a powerful critic who singlehandedly destroyed her late husband’s chance for success—takes a teaching job at the college, Catherine’s world threatens to collapse. For with him has come his latest protégé, an exotic young woman named Antonia Lively. Antonia’s debut novel has become a literary sensation—but it is, in fact, an almost factual retelling of
a terrible crime that she relates without
any concern for the impact its publication will have on the lives of those involved.
As Antonia insinuates herself into Catherine’s life, mysterious and frightening things start to happen, because unbeknownst to Catherine, the younger woman intends to plunder her own dark, regrettable past—and the unsolved death of her husband—for her next literary triumph.
Provocative and cunning, Antonia Lively Breaks the Silence asserts that fiction is never truly fictional and asks, What does stealing another’s life do to your soul? Levinson spins a tale of surprises, peeling back one revelation only to find another in this tightly wrought, wickedly cynical look at the worlds of academia, publishing, and celebrity.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在丈夫离奇的去世后，凯瑟琳•斯崔德一直在一座僻静而隐蔽的大学城里过着安静而平凡的生活。她的丈夫原本是一名前途无量的作家，然而却突然间死亡了，至今不知他究竟是死于意外、自杀抑或是他杀。而当凯瑟琳的以前的导师（曾经的恋人）---一名颇具盛名的评论家又轻而易举地就摧毁了丈夫唯一的成功机会---在大学里担任教职人员，凯瑟琳感到自己的世界已然近乎坍塌。这次以，和曾经的导师一起出现的还有他刚收的一名门徒，一名名为安东尼娅•莱弗莉的年轻外国女子。安东尼娅的首部小说一经问世便引起了巨大的轰动和强烈的反响---然而众人有所不知的是，安东尼娅只不过是在复述一场可怕的犯罪经过，整本书中她都如实陈述，毫不顾忌这将会给事件的相关人带来怎样的影响。
就在安东尼娅悄无声息地渗透进凯瑟琳的生活后，神秘而可怕的事情开始一件件发生，由于凯瑟琳对此毫不知情，年轻的女作家打算再次窃取凯瑟琳黑暗且充满着懊悔的过去经历，以及她丈夫至今悬而未解的死亡之谜，以获得其在文学创作上的再一次成功。
《打破了沉寂的安东尼娅•莱弗莉》是一部发人深省同时构思精巧的作品，作者认为小说永远不会是真正意义上的虚构作品，同时他提出质疑：对于一名作家的良心而言，窃取他人的真实生活经历作为素材又意味着什么？赖维森为我们精心地编织了一个充满着未知的故事，每当他为我们揭开一个真相，而你小心翼翼、却又同时自负满怀的对学术界、出版界以及名流们嗤之以鼻时，你只会发现所谓的真相里面还包裹着另一个更为令人震惊真相。(DC)
