Words are important to Gretel, always have been. As a child, she lived on a canal boat with her mother, and together they invented a language that was just their own. She hasn’t seen her mother since the age of sixteen, though – almost a lifetime ago – and those memories have faded. Now Gretel works as a lexicographer, updating dictionary entries, which suits her solitary nature.
A phone call from the hospital interrupts Gretel’s isolation and throws up questions from long ago. She begins to remember the private vocabulary of her childhood. She remembers other things, too: the wild years spent on the river; the strange, lonely boy who came to stay on the boat one winter; and the creature in the water – a canal thief? – swimming upstream, getting ever closer. In the end there will be nothing for Gretel to do but go back.
Daisy Johnson’s debut novel turns classical myth on its head and takes readers to a modern-day England unfamiliar to most. As daring as it is moving, Everything Under is a story of family and identity, of fate, language, love and belonging that leaves you unsettled and unstrung.
Daisy Johnson was born in 1990. Her debut short story collection, Fen, was published in 2016. She is the winner of the Harper's Bazaar Short Story Prize, the A.M. Heath Prize and the Edge Hill Short Story Prize. She currently lives in Oxford by the river.
没看下去,受不了这种新概念写法,像在梦游一样,完全不是我的菜。哪天可能再试一次。
评分I am so lucky to have found this book. It’s unsettling but in a fascinating way. Wondering how the author came up with such an extraordinary story in the first place.
评分很欣赏她讲故事的掌控力 平行叙述的同时把握每条线的并行节奏 把悬念逐步推进并使其形成完美和声。一种倾诉般的口吻讲着不可信的故事。遗憾的是当你猜到真相之后故事的吸引力就断崖式下跌 如果能不以悬疑抓住读者而更强调心理侧写我想会更好。隐约有珍妮特·温特森的影子。是很有前途的90后作家了。建议是不要看本书条目下的任何评论 基本一看就被关键字剧透。
