5.Fates and Furies BY LAUREN GROFF
《命運(yùn)和暴怒》，作者：羅倫·格羅夫

???Recommendation 推薦詞

The book's first half concocts the blessed life of Lancelot "Lotto" Satterwhite, the adored son of a wealthy family who has great ambitions to be an actor. His wife, Mathilde, so long impoverished and alone, willingly takes on the chore of encouraging Lancelot.
作者在前半部分編造了男主的幸福生活，他是一個(gè)富裕家庭的可愛兒子，想要當(dāng)一個(gè)演員。他的妻子瑪?shù)贍栠_(dá)長期被貧窮和孤獨(dú)折磨，心甘情愿地?fù)?dān)負(fù)起鼓勵(lì)這個(gè)自戀年輕人的苦差事。

And halfway through, Groff turns from "Fates" to "Furies." Here's a woman as determined as Antigone, as ferocious as Medea.
行 文過半，格羅夫從"命運(yùn)"寫到"暴怒"，在真實(shí)中兩人有著不可調(diào)和的矛盾。最后，這名女性成了一位像安提戈涅一樣決絕、像美狄亞一樣殘忍的人

7.A Little Life BY Hanya Yanagihara
《小生活》，作者：漢雅·柳原

???Recommendation 推薦詞

Hanya Yanagihara's novel, which was a finalist for the National Book Award in fiction, illuminates human suffering pushed to its limits, drawn in extraordinary, eloquent detail.
漢雅·柳原這部小說是國家圖書獎(jiǎng)小說類的入圍作品，她通過非凡的、意味深長的細(xì)節(jié)，闡釋了人類的極致苦難。

The narrative quickly concentrates on Jude, an orphan with a mysterious past. Jude's desire to maintain a veneer of control, despite being haunted by sexual and psychological abuse, creates the book's major drama.
小說的主人公裘德是一個(gè)有著神秘過去的孤兒，盡管裘德深陷性虐待和心理虐待之中，但他努力掩飾這一切——這構(gòu)成了本書的主要沖突。

???Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)

Through her decade-by-decade examination of these people's lives, Yanagihara draws a deeply realized character study that inspires as much as devastates.
通過對(duì)數(shù)十載生活的考察與審視，漢雅·柳原所深刻呈現(xiàn)的人物角色令人鼓舞又讓人絕望。

8.Negroland：A memoir BY MARGO JEFFERSON
《黑人之地：一部回憶錄》，作者：馬戈·杰弗遜

???Recommendation 推薦詞

Margo Jefferson was an African American girl from a good family that had money, connections and expectations of excellence.
作者馬戈·杰斐遜是一位非裔美國女孩，來自一個(gè)有錢、有人脈、追求卓越的好家庭。

She was (mostly) protected from the sting of racism and its pernicious hacking away at self-esteem, opportunity and hope. But her armor was thin, and over the years she has nursed her discomfort with being a child of privilege.
她大部分時(shí)候都免受種族主義的刺痛和對(duì)于自尊、機(jī)遇、希望的險(xiǎn)惡攻擊。但她的盔甲依然薄弱，多年來，她一直試圖平復(fù)自己作為一個(gè)特權(quán)階級(jí)的小孩在白人上流社會(huì)中的不安。

???Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)

"Negroland" is not about raw racism or caricatured villains. It is about subtleties and nuances, presumptions and slights that chip away at one's humanity and take a mental toll.
《黑人之地》無關(guān)原始的種族主義或被諷刺攻擊的惡棍，它描述了那些微妙而細(xì)致的假想和輕蔑，他們削弱了人性，造成了心理的傷害。

《純度》，作者：喬納森·弗蘭岑

Its leader is an Internet activist whose back story in East Germany reads like a cerebral thriller.
該網(wǎng)站的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)是個(gè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)活動(dòng)家，他在東德的經(jīng)歷讀來就像一部驚悚小說。

???Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)

Franzen writes with perfectly balanced fluency. From its tossed-off observations to its thoughtful reflections on nuclear weapons and the moral compromises of journalism, this novel offers a constantly provocative series of insights.
《純度》的寫作完美、平衡而流暢。弗蘭岑對(duì)于核武器和新聞業(yè)的道德妥協(xié)進(jìn)行了深入的觀察和思考，為我們提供了一系列頗具挑戰(zhàn)性的觀點(diǎn)。

10.Welcome to Braggsville BY T.GERONIMO JOHNSON
《歡迎來到布朗斯維爾》，作者：T. 杰羅尼莫·約翰遜

???Recommendation 推薦詞

D'aron Little May Davenport, a polite white teen from Braggsville, Ga., arrives at University of California at Berkeley as if he's a Southern-fried Candide.
阿隆是個(gè)有禮貌的白人青年，來自佐治亞州布朗斯維爾，來到加州大學(xué)伯克利分校讀書，貌似是個(gè)南方老實(shí)人。

The whole novel turns on a moment in one of his history classes . A too clever, incredibly offensive, potentially disastrous plan is born: D'aron and three friends travel back to Braggsville and stage a mock lynching, "a performative intervention."
整個(gè)小說由一節(jié)歷史課展開。一項(xiàng)聰明至極、充滿冒犯的災(zāi)難性計(jì)劃誕生了：阿隆和三個(gè)朋友回到布朗斯維爾，導(dǎo)演了一場虛擬私刑。

???Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)

Johnson is a master at stripping away our persistent myths and exposing the subterfuge and displacement necessary to keep pretending that a culture built on kidnapping, rape and torture was the apotheosis of gentility and honor.
作者約翰遜善于去除我們固執(zhí)的繆見、揭露人們的詭計(jì)和錯(cuò)位，這種錯(cuò)位假裝把建立在綁架、強(qiáng)奸和酷刑之上的文化當(dāng)做教養(yǎng)和榮譽(yù)典范。
