From the author of “Cat Person”—“the short story that launched a thousand theories” (The Guardian)—comes Kristen Roupenian's highly anticipated debut, a compulsively readable collection of short stories that explore the complex—and often darkly funny—connections between gender, sex, and power across genres.
You Know You Want This brilliantly explores the ways in which women are horrifying as much as it captures the horrors that are done to them. Among its pages are a couple who becomes obsessed with their friend hearing them have sex, then seeing them have sex…until they can’t have sex without him; a ten-year-old whose birthday party takes a sinister turn when she wishes for “something mean”; a woman who finds a book of spells half hidden at the library and summons her heart’s desire: a nameless, naked man; and a self-proclaimed “biter” who dreams of sneaking up behind and sinking her teeth into a green-eyed, long-haired, pink-cheeked coworker.
Spanning a range of genres and topics—from the mundane to the murderous and supernatural—these are stories about sex and punishment, guilt and anger, the pleasure and terror of inflicting and experiencing pain. These stories fascinate and repel, revolt and arouse, scare and delight in equal measure. And, as a collection, they point a finger at you, daring you to feel uncomfortable—or worse, understood—as if to say, “You want this, right? You know you want this.”
Kristen Roupenian graduated from Barnard College and holds a PhD in English from Harvard, as well as an MFA from the Helen Zell Writers’ Program at the University of Michigan. She is the author of the short story, “Cat Person,” which was published in The New Yorker and selected by Sheila Heti for The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2018. She is currently at work on a novel.
有幾篇還是很authentic的,但基本達不到cat person的水準。精準有餘,巧妙不足。巧妙又恰巧對當下泛文化有細節豐富地捕捉,於是誕生cat person熱潮。但不排除它的完成本身也充滿互聯網時代的巧閤。
評分19#13 風格獨特的女性視角小說集,推薦每個鋼鐵直男閱讀。
評分幾篇戛然而止的收尾非常雷濛卡佛 心理活動碎碎念描寫到位
評分Stories like Cat person are more authentic and rich with details, I personally like these better than those noir grown-up tales. Kirsten is really good at describing the female desires and showing the messy, nasty, ugly and even dangerous sides of women. This would definitely help to break the stereotypes of "women".
評分的確有Angela Carter 的感覺
