LAKE LIFE
Book ID/图书代码： 02330014B73531
English Summary/英文概要： Debut novel by the author of the acclaimed story collection, THE HEAVEN OF ANIMALS. An ornithologist, a physicist, a pharmaceuticals rep, a painter, an elementary school teacher, and a man who can’t hold down a job: these are the Starlings. Brought together for a last week at the family lake house now for sale, three couples witness a tragedy and soon question that which they’ve long called happiness. CLASS, ORDER, FAMILY is an unflinching look at marriages both open and closed, work in the 21st century, and the not-so-nuclear American family.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这部小说处女座来自广受好评的故事集《动物们的天堂》的作者。一位鸟类学家，一位物理学家，一位医药代表，一位画家，一个小学老师，还有一个找不到工作的人。上周，三对夫妇在他们即将出售的湖畔之家相聚了一周，他们目睹了一场悲剧，并很快对他们一直以来所称的幸福提出了质疑。阶级、秩序和家庭是对开放式和封闭式婚姻的坚定态度，在21世纪和不那么核心的美国家庭中发挥作用。（XMM）
Awards/获奖情况：Starred reviews and chosen as book of the week/month/of the year so far, including this from the review in The New York Times:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/07/books/review/david-james-poissant-lake-life.html
“If your household’s summer vacation was canceled this year, console and distract yourself with “Lake Life,” […] There’s a lot of bad behavior here, perhaps because Poissant is so good at writing it. His prose throughout is sure-footed and intelligent. Wincing scenes are leavened with moments of grace and mournful nostalgia. Poissant also leaves room for absorbing discussions of art, the socioeconomics of vacation property development, and religion.”
A starred Booklist review, a starred PW review, and now the ravest of rave reviews from the Atlanta Journal Constitution for David James Poissant’s summer novel, LAKE LIFE.
“LAKE LIFE establishes Poissant as one of the South’s best new writers working today. It is a dazzling work that is so confidently crafted, so keenly perceptive and so deeply compassionate, it’s hard to believe it was written by someone this early in his career.” – Atlanta Journal Constitution
