英文简介:
Chosen as a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by Oprah’s Book Club, Elle, Reader’s Digest, The Rumpus, Kirkus Reviews, The Millions, Lit Hub, and more “Fans of The Underground Railroad, The Water Dancer, and Let Us Descend will devour this lyrical and surreal saga.
” –Oprah Daily From a writer of singular voice and vision, a mesmerizing epic that reimagines the past to explore the true nature of freedom In this ingenious, sweeping novel, Phillip B.
Williams introduces us to an enigmatic woman named Saint, a fearsome conjuror who, in the 1830s, annihilates plantations all over Arkansas to rescue the people enslaved there.
She brings those she has freed to a haven of her own creation: a town just north of St.
Louis, magically concealed from outsiders, named Ours.
It is in this miraculous place that Saint’s grand experiment–a truly secluded community where her people may flourish–takes root.
But although Saint does her best to protect the inhabitants of Ours, over time, her conjuring and memories begin to betray her, leaving the town vulnerable to intrusions by newcomers with powers of their own.
As the cracks in Saint’s creation are exposed, some begin to wonder whether the community’s safety might be yet another form of bondage.
Set over the course of four decades and steeped in a rich tradition of American literature informed by Black surrealism, mythology, and spirituality, Ours is a stunning exploration of the possibilities and limitations of love and freedom by a writer of capacious vision and talent.
中文简介:
被奥普拉读书俱乐部、Elle、读者文摘、The Rumpus、Kirkus Reviews、The Millions、Lit Hub 等评选为 2024 年最受期待的书籍抒情而超现实的传奇。
” ——《奥普拉日报》 出自一位有着独特声音和视野的作家之手,一部令人着迷的史诗,重新想象过去,探索自由的真正本质。
在这部巧妙、内容广泛的小说中,菲利普·B·威廉姆斯向我们介绍了一位名叫圣的神秘女人,她是一位可怕的魔术师他在 1830 年代摧毁了阿肯色州各地的种植园以拯救那里的奴隶。
她将自己释放到自己创造的天堂的人:圣路易斯以北的一个小镇,神奇地掩盖了局外人,名叫我们。
正是在这个神奇的地方,圣特的宏伟实验——一个真正与世隔绝的社区,她的人民可以在这里繁衍生息——扎根。
然而,尽管圣人尽了最大努力保护我们的居民,但随着时间的推移,她的咒语和记忆开始背叛她,使小镇容易受到拥有自己力量的新来者的入侵。
随着圣徒创造中的裂缝暴露,有些人开始怀疑社区的安全是否可能是束缚的另一种形式。
我们的作品以四十年的历程为背景,深深植根于黑人超现实主义、神话和灵性的美国文学丰富传统,是一位视野广阔、才华横溢的作家对爱和自由的可能性和局限性的令人惊叹的探索。
