"I'm Thinking of Ending Things is one of the best debut novels I've ever read. Iain Reid has crafted a tight, ferocious little book, with a persistent tenor of suspense that tightens and mounts toward its visionary, harrowing final pages" (Scott Heim, award-winning author of Mysterious Skin and We Disappear).
You will be scared. But you won’t know why…
I’m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It’s always there. Always.
Jake once said, “Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought.”
And here’s what I’m thinking: I don’t want to be here.
In this smart, suspenseful, and intense literary thriller, debut novelist Iain Reid explores the depths of the human psyche, questioning consciousness, free will, the value of relationships, fear, and the limitations of solitude. Reminiscent of Jose Saramago’s early work, Michel Faber’s cult classic Under the Skin, and Lionel Shriver’s We Need to Talk about Kevin, I’m Thinking of Ending Things is an edgy, haunting debut. Tense, gripping, and atmospheric, this novel pulls you in from the very first page…and never lets you go.
伊恩·裏德(IAIN REID )加拿大天纔作傢、先鋒編劇,1981年生於渥太華。
伊恩•裏德曾為加拿大廣播公司創作劇本,亦有作品散見於《紐約客》《環球郵報》等報刊。著有非虛構作品《一隻鳥的選擇》《運氣的真相》。其中《運氣的真相》為《環球郵報》2013年年度好書。
《我想結束這一切》是伊恩的首部長篇小說,該書一改他之前輕鬆幽默、淡然暖心的風格,挑戰人們舒適極限,將有關自我歸屬、個體與群體的哲學探討融入黑色幻想中,講述瞭一個分裂、扭麯、極具哥特風的個人悲劇。
文|轻禅 前几年,有本书特别火,这本书就是《24个比利》,在这本书里,比利分裂为24种人格,最终成为杀人犯。如果这只是一本小说,也许并不稀奇,但这不只是一本小说,而是根据现实真实人物所改编,这也就意味着,人格分裂是存在的,它的危害性不可估量。 人格由人的思维决定,...
評分未读试读书评。 人格分裂向来是影视和小说家们热爱的题材,有足够的想象空间,够猎奇,够惊悚。前有著名的《24个比利》,这次,是加拿大小说家伊恩·里德的小说《我想结束这一切》。 加拿大天才小说家的首部长篇小说,分裂扭曲哥特风,小说可谓噱头十足,于是一向热爱心理悬...
評分 評分 評分氛圍營造的很好,“我”的心理描寫讓人毛骨悚然,不要深究故事性,自我質疑睏惑分裂已經足夠吸引人瞭
评分3.75/5 Unpredictable and increasingly bizarre, Iain Reid's literary debut defies, distorts and warps the reality as we know it, determined to take the reader on a wild ride. Evocative of Ishiguro's Pale View of Hill, the plot is so smartly constructed but its smartness might've tempered with the delivery of the final reveal which seemed confusing.

评分還行 一個人在車裏看這個書的時候嚇得夠嗆。。。。需要再讀一遍纔能懂 但是我不準備再讀本書瞭 嚇人!
评分挺好讀也挺絮叨的。前半部分很嚇人,有兩個恐怖的點,讀到第一個時還想“啊好俗套的都市傳說”,第二個就真的嚇齣瞭雞皮疙瘩,遺憾的是這兩個點並未得到解答,就隻是個莫名其妙的噱頭而已。故事最後的轉摺挺突然,那幾頁密密麻麻的“What are you waiting for?”營造瞭很強的錯亂氛圍。最終的謎底不算是個好的處理,有點失望,但讀完再重頭看,又覺得挺難過,原來這是一個關於孤獨的故事。挺適閤拍成電影的。等考夫曼的成片。
