A Nix can take many forms. In Norwegian folklore, it is a spirit who sometimes appears as a white horse that steals children away. In Nathan Hill’s remarkable first novel, a Nix is anything you love that one day disappears, taking with it a piece of your heart.
It’s 2011, and Samuel Andresen-Anderson—college professor, stalled writer—has a Nix of his own: his mother, Faye. He hasn’t seen her in decades, not since she abandoned the family when he was a boy. Now she’s re-appeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the internet, and inflames a politically divided country. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart. Which version of his mother is true? Two facts are certain: she’s facing some serious charges, and she needs Samuel’s help.
To save her, Samuel will have to embark on his own journey, uncovering long-buried secrets about the woman he thought he knew, secrets that stretch across generations and have their origin all the way back in Norway, home of the mysterious Nix. As he does so, Samuel will confront not only Faye’s losses but also his own lost love, and will relearn everything he thought he knew about his mother, and himself.
From the suburban Midwest to New York City to the 1968 riots that rocked Chicago and beyond, The Nix explores—with sharp humor and a fierce tenderness—the resilience of love and home, even in times of radical change.
NATHAN HILL's short fiction has appeared in many literary journals, including The Iowa Review, AGNI, The Gettysburg Review, and Fiction, which awarded him its annual Fiction Prize. A native Iowan, he lives with his wife in Naples, Florida.
4.7 很是幽默 就连结尾部分我都笑出两次来,也很能break it down的说故事方式,虽说600多页 也是一周下来下班后回来看再加个周末能解决的好读的故事。我一般给分都是0.5一个区别 但是这回真的就差那么点点就可以给5分啦 还是不错的
评分就是一个天道好轮回的故事。
评分感觉就像是在看又一部Franzen的美式伟大小说,一本书里有十个故事,完全不担心篇幅每个故事都从头说起,涉及了社会历史现代方方面面,有爱情有亲情,看到最后是觉得很精彩只不过有点忘了为什么要绕这么一大圈了。
评分阅读体验超级流畅。想一口气读完,又舍不得读完。朗读者太重要了。会捧着书重读。
评分从头到第9章 Revolution 都很吸引人。可惜最后一章秒变议论文,前面设了太多分主题要在最后一章给个说法,只好借助人物内心剖白了。
1.魅魔 摘自:第二部分 故国鬼魅——第五节 母亲向萨缪尔讲述魅魔(Nix)的故事。她父亲的另一个鬼故事。最吓人的一个。她说,魅魔是一种水妖,它会沿着海岸线飞行,寻找孩童,尤其是喜欢冒险、单独出行的孩子。要是魅魔找到了,就会以一匹大白马的形态现身。没有鞍辔,但很驯顺...
评分“盲人摸象的故事里,通常被忽略的一点是,每个人的描述都正确无误。费伊无法理解,或许永远也不可能理解的是,在许多虚假自我的背后,并没有隐着一个真实的自我......那就是盲人摸象的关键所在:重点不在于他们是盲人,而是他们停止得太快,因此永远也不可能知道还有更大的真相需要把...
评分小的时候,我们总以为自己很特别,等时间推着年轮慢慢往前走,我们认识了世界,认识了社会,明白自己不过是芸芸众生里的一员,像大海里的一滴水,以自己的方式助推潮起潮落,也像沙漠里的一粒沙,在自己的角落里露宿餐风。 经年累月,一滴水也许被浪花挥洒成照片里绝美的风景,...
