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.
作者的天賦讓人嫉妒得想要把牆撓穿,民間故事、神話悲劇、繁復的象徵以詭異且帶著不安之美的書寫交織在一起。但作為début小說,作者想要在有限的體量裏實現太多 - 母女關係、記憶、恐懼、語言的重塑 - 一度使敘事失控,角色籠罩在一種“manufactured otherness”之下
評分很欣賞她講故事的掌控力 平行敘述的同時把握每條綫的並行節奏 把懸念逐步推進並使其形成完美和聲。一種傾訴般的口吻講著不可信的故事。遺憾的是當你猜到真相之後故事的吸引力就斷崖式下跌 如果能不以懸疑抓住讀者而更強調心理側寫我想會更好。隱約有珍妮特·溫特森的影子。是很有前途的90後作傢瞭。建議是不要看本書條目下的任何評論 基本一看就被關鍵字劇透。
評分3.5
