TRAPLINES

Book ID/图书代码： 12760098B2875

English Summary/英文概要： In crackling prose, Eden Robinson describes homes ruled by bullies, psychopaths and delinquents; families whose conflict resolution techniques range from grand theft to homicide; and kids who just can’t get a break. A young woman copes with her mother’s history as a serial killer. A boy, who slowly realizes that his cousin is deranged, feels torn between the need to eat and the desire to resist his tormentor. Struggling with ambivalent loyalties, a teenager faces the choice of leaving home or staying with abusive, alcoholic parents.

Told with icy clarity in the blackest of humours, Traplines offers an unsettling look at an urban landscape where the bizarre and twisted coexist naturally with the full and normal. A master of psychological suspense, Eden Robinson guides us through a world where the fast food, banged-up cars and grunge of modern adolescence barely camouflage the dark extremes of sex, fear and desire.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《險途》是一部不同凡響的小說，講述了家庭生活背後的危險故事。在充滿張力的文字中，Eden Robinson，描述了在暴力，心理變態，和有犯罪記錄的家庭情況下，從嚴重的偷竊到謀殺，家庭成員所要解決的這些“討債鬼”所帶來的麻煩衝突方法。用冷靜清晰的黑色幽默敘述，《險途》呈現出一種紛亂而又奇特的城市背景以及伴隨其中的枯燥和正常的扭曲的自然共存現象。(Sandy)
