FLINGS
Book ID/图书代码： 04332812B58068
English Summary/英文概要： The acclaimed author of Everything Here Is the Best Thing Ever and The Gospel of Anarchy makes his hardcover debut with a piercing collection of short fiction that illuminates our struggle to find love, comfort, and identity.
In a new suite of powerful and incisive stories, Justin Taylor captures the lives of men and women unmoored from their pasts and uncertain of their futures.
A man writes his girlfriend a Dear John letter, gets in his car, and just drives. A widowed insomniac is roused from malaise when an alligator appears in her backyard. A group of college friends try to stay close after graduation, but are drawn away from—and back toward—each other by the choices they make. A boy’s friendship with a pair of identical twins undergoes a strange and tragic evolution over the course of adolescence. A promising academic and her fiancée attempt to finish their dissertations, but struggle with writer’s block, a nasty secret, and their own expert knowledge of Freud.
From an East Village rooftop to a cabin in Tennessee, from the Florida suburbs to Hong Kong, Taylor covers a vast emotional and geographic landscape while ushering us into an abiding intimacy with his characters, Flings is a commanding work of fiction that captures the contemporary search for identity, connection, and a place to call home.

在这本新的强有力，尖锐的小说集中，贾斯汀•泰勒抓住了男人和女人脱离过去以及不确定未来的生活。
一个男人给女友写了一封绝交信，然后头也不回的驾车离开。当鳄鱼出现在她家后院时，失眠的寡妇从萎靡中惊醒。一个大学团体试图毕业后彼此离得近一点，但彼此因为自己做出的选择而被引诱离开或回来。一个男孩与一对同卵双胞胎的友谊在青春期的过程经历了奇特和悲惨的演变。一个有前途的学术家和她的未婚妻试图完成他们的学位论文，但要和文思枯竭，一个讨厌的秘密以及自己关于弗洛伊德的专业知识进行斗争。
从东村屋顶到田纳西州的一间小木屋，佛罗里达州的郊区到香港，泰勒涵盖了广阔的情感和地理景观，同时带领我们与他笔下的人物进入一个持久的亲密关系，《抛弃》是一部小说集，它抓住了当代对身份，联系和一个称之为家的地方的寻求。(LNL)
