From the acclaimed filmmaker, artist, and bestselling author of no one belongs here more than you, comes a spectacular debut novel that is so heartbreaking, so dirty, so tender, so funny, so Miranda July. Readers will be astonished.
Here is Cheryl, a tightly-wound, vulnerable woman who lives alone, with a perpetual lump in her throat. She is haunted by a baby boy she met when she was six, who sometimes recurs as other people’s babies. Cheryl is also obsessed with Phillip, a philandering board member at the women’s self-defense nonprofit where she works. She believes they’ve been making love for many lifetimes, though they have yet to consummate in this one.
When Cheryl’s bosses ask if their twenty-one-year-old daughter, Clee, can move into her house for a little while, Cheryl’s eccentrically ordered world explodes. And yet it is Clee—the selfish, cruel blond bombshell—who bullies Cheryl into reality and, unexpectedly, provides her the love of a lifetime.
Tender, gripping, slyly hilarious, infused with raging sexual obsession and fierce maternal love, Miranda July’s first novel confirms her as a spectacularly original, iconic, and important voice today, and a writer for all time. The First Bad Man is dazzling, disorienting, and unforgettable.

評分 評分绚丽的心理小说 ◎ 东渔 《第一个坏人》故事并不复杂,谢丽尔怀疑自己患有癔球症,好似属于神经症人格,他喜欢同事菲利普,却无法亲近。老板夫妇拜托谢丽尔照顾他们的女儿柯丽,两人相处的时间里发生了一系列摩擦,最终她们互相理解,好自为之。小说的费解在于心理活动太过于跳...
瑣碎到令人發指,主題曖昧,人物情節莫名其妙,從頭到腳都像劣質奶油蛋糕一樣。可能是太喜歡作者遣詞造句的姿態,於是這些都被原諒瞭。
评分怪誕的故事,真切的孤獨,佩服Miranda July在描寫女性性心理和幻想上的大膽無懼,對小說的前半部分印象一般,但好戲在後麵,是閱讀經曆裏為數不多redeem itself, 讓人在堅持讀完後不覺後悔而感rewarding的一本書。
评分Miranda July
评分女神最好的作品,但估計這書在內地不大幅刪減的話就絕對齣版不瞭。
评分好看極瞭,開頭有點悶,擱置瞭快兩年,中後部開始精彩。太精彩瞭
