ALL I HAVE IN THIS WORLD: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 00342513B65679
English Summary/英文概要： Two strangers meet on a windswept car lot in West Texas. Marcus is fleeing the disastrous fallout of chasing a lifelong dream; Maria is returning to the hometown she fled years ago, to make amends. They begin to argue over the car that they both desperately want—a low-slung sky-blue twenty-year-old Buick Electra.
The car, too, has seen its share of mistakes and failures. Every dent and seam has witnessed pivotal moments in the lives of others, from the boy who assembled it at the Cleveland factory to all the owners who were to follow: a God-fearing man who sells it when he sees a sexy girl sprawled across it; a doctor who can’t dissociate it from his son’s fate; and a rancher’s wife who’d much rather live without it for all the history it carries.
Marcus and Maria, after knowing each other for less than an hour, decide to buy the old car together. And as this surprising novel follows the rocky paths of the Electra and its owners—both past and present—these two lost souls form an unexpected alliance.
All I Have in This World is a tender novel about our desire to reconcile past mistakes, and the ways we must learn to forgive others, and perhaps even ourselves, if we are ever to move on.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 两名陌生人在西得克萨斯州的汽车交易市场上相遇了。马科斯正逃离追逐梦想后的可怕后遗症；玛利亚则在逃离多年后重新踏上了回家的归途，试图对过去进行一些补救。一辆低底盘天蓝色且拥有20年历史的老旧别克伊莱克拉吸引了两人的注意，极度渴望这两老车的两人就此开始了激烈的争论。
这辆车本身同样代表了其自身的一次次错误与失败。每一个凹痕、每一条裂缝都见证了无数人的某一个关键时刻，从在克利夫兰工厂里装配它的男孩到它的历任主人：看到性感女郎横躺在车上便将车卖掉的凶恶男子；无法将车与儿子的命运分割开来的医生；不愿拥有一辆历史如此久远的车子的农场主妻子。
马科斯与玛利亚在认识了不到一小时的短暂时间里，决定一同购买这辆颇具历史的汽车。随着这辆老旧的电蓝小车踏上了崎岖的山路，并走入了其历任拥有者---不论是过去还是当下---的内心深处，两颗迷失的心灵慢慢紧密的靠在了一起。
《我所拥有的世界》是一部充满柔情的小说作品，我们渴望去纠正或弥补过去曾犯下的错误，但倘若我们真心想要走出过去，踏上未来，那么我们就必须学会原谅他人，有时候甚至必须学会原谅我们自己。（DC）
Awards/获奖情况：“这是一部有关于迷失和重新发现、有关于最珍贵的礼物，即“不同人心中同样的柔软之地以及被拯救”的动人小说，全书妙趣横生。。。。。。大爱本书。” —安东尼娅•尼尔森，作家，著有《束缚》
““车样熔炉”可能是迈克尔•帕克迄今为止最优秀的小说作品所渴望表达的主题。正如《我所拥有的世界》里所要表现的一样，在汽车的前座与后座中，我们在想象着爱的同时审视着毁灭。帕克再一次为我们展示了其在地理和情感上的巨大延展性，在这部层次丰富却又不乏微妙细节的故事中，我们感受到心碎与愧意的折磨，我们中的绝大多数人都仿若书中所描述的生物：寻求着赎罪与补偿的机会。因此，我们进入书中，继续前行在各自的道路之上。” —马克•理查德，作家，著有《2号祈祷者的房屋》
