LIFE IS ABOUT LOSING EVERYTHING
Book ID/图书代码： 06481012B53285
English Summary/英文概要： Covering a seven-year period, controversial critic, columnist, and poet Lynn Crosbie blends fiction with memoir and takes us on a heartbreaking journey through a very turbulent time in her life. Daring, disturbing, hilarious, and heartfelt all at once, Crosbie’s writing pushes boundaries and ultimately produces an unforgettable work of original literary quality.
Life is About Losing Everything speaks with manic yet grave authority about risking and losing everything, and then sorting through the remains to discover what is beautiful, what is trash, and what, ultimately, belongs. Crosbie explores the fantasy of an affair with Michael Jackson and cohabitation with Billy Joel. She contemplates 80s big-hair bands, critical theory and fine art, the battle against aging, addiction and depression and even delves into to what it’s like to make love to a zombie and a robot.
Writing in the tradition of Anne Sexton, Sloane Crosley and Miranda July. Crosbie’s style is tragically confessional, edgy and funny.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 饱受争议的评论家、专栏作家以及诗人林恩.克罗斯比耗时七年时间，将小说与回忆录结合起来，通过向我们讲述她曾经那段动荡不安的岁月，从而带领我们踏上一段心碎的旅程。克罗斯比的写作胆大、饶人心弦，同时又是欢闹滑稽、真诚深切，跨越创作界限，最终奉献出了一本具有原创文学质量、令人难以忘怀的佳作。《生活就是失去一切》带有狂热但却庄重的权威色彩，讲述了人生的冒险和失败。接者，作者开始整理所剩的部分，旨在分清美好和糟粕，以及人类的最终归宿。克罗斯比讲述了她曾幻想与迈克尔.杰克逊相爱的故事，以及与美国歌手比利;乔的同居生涯。她思考着80年代的乐队、批判理论和纯艺术、与衰老的战斗、毒瘾和抑郁症，甚至还深入探讨了与僵尸和机器人发生性关系将是何种情景。
克罗斯比的写作风格带有悲剧式的忏悔、尖刻以及乐趣，与安妮.塞斯顿、斯隆•克罗斯利以及米兰达.希里一脉相承。(XMM)
