See How Small
《看看有多小》
Author: Scott Blackwood
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company
One late autumn evening in a Texas town, two strangers walk into an ice cream shop shortly before closing time. They bind up the three teenage girls who are working the counter, set fire to the shop, and disappear. SEE HOW SMALL tells the stories of the survivors -- family, witnesses, and suspects -- who must endure in the wake of atrocity. Justice remains elusive in their world, human connection tenuous.
Hovering above the aftermath of their deaths are the three girls. They watch over the town and make occasional visitations, trying to connect with and prod to life those they left behind. "See how small a thing it is that keeps us apart," they say. A master of compression and lyrical precision, Scott Blackwood has surpassed himself with this haunting, beautiful, and enormously powerful new novel.
深秋夜晚的德州小镇,两个陌生人走进一家即将打烊的冰淇淋店,绑架了三个收银员少女之后,纵火烧店,最后离开。这本书讲的是——死难者家属、目击者以及嫌疑人的故事,他们必须忍受暴行,而在他们的世界,人情冷漠、正义无存。死后在天空飘着,三个少女看着这座小镇,想要和沉浸在无尽伤痛中的亲友们联系,但这件“小事“却让他们永远分开,天人永隔。
这是一本令人难忘、好看且强大的小说。
