英文简介:
A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK: THE LA TIMES, THE GUARDIAN, AND MORE! * Award-winning writer Kevin Barry’s first novel set in America, a savagely funny and achingly romantic tale of young lovers on the lam in 1890s Montana.
“A wedding of Cormac McCarthy with Flann O’Brien; a western but also the most Irish of novels; a tragedy written as farce .
.
.
inspiring joy with every incident, every concept, every sentence.
“– The Guardian October 1891.
A hard winter approaches across the Rocky Mountains.
The city of Butte, Montana is rich on copper mines and rampant with vice and debauchery among a hard-living crowd of immigrant Irish workers.
Here we find Tom Rourke, a young poet and ballad-maker of the town, but also a doper, a drinker, and a fearsome degenerate.
Just as he feels his life is heading nowhere fast, Polly Gillespie arrives in town as the new bride of the extremely devout mine captain Long Anthony Harrington.
A thunderbolt love affair takes spark between Tom and Polly and they strike out west on a stolen horse, moving through the badlands of Montana and Idaho, and briefly an idyll of wild romance perfects itself.
But a posse of deranged Cornish gunmen are soon in hot pursuit and closing in fast.
With everything to lose and the safety and anonymity of San Francisco still a distant speck on their horizon, the choices they make will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
In this love story for the ages–lyrical, profane and propulsive–Kevin Barry has once again demonstrated himself to be a master stylist, an unrivalled humourist, and a true poet of the human heart.
中文简介:
最受期待的书:《洛杉矶时报》、《卫报》等等! * 屡获殊荣的作家凯文·巴里 (Kevin Barry) 的第一部以美国为背景的小说,讲述了 1890 年代蒙大拿州流亡的年轻恋人的野蛮有趣而又令人心痛的浪漫故事。
“科马克·麦卡锡与弗兰·奥布莱恩的婚礼;一部西部小说,但也是最具爱尔兰特色的一部小说;一部写成闹剧的悲剧……每一个事件、每一个概念、每句话都激发欢乐。
”——《卫报》1891 年 10 月。
落基山脉的严冬即将来临。
蒙大拿州巴特市拥有丰富的铜矿,生活艰苦的爱尔兰移民工人群体中恶习和放荡猖獗。
在这里,我们找到了汤姆·洛克(Tom Rourke),他是镇上的一位年轻诗人和民谣制作人,但同时也是一个吸毒者、酗酒者和可怕的堕落者。
就在波莉·吉莱斯皮感觉自己的生活毫无进展时,她作为极其虔诚的矿长朗·安东尼·哈林顿的新新娘来到了小镇。
汤姆和波莉之间的闪电般的爱情火花擦出了火花,他们骑着偷来的马向西出发,穿过蒙大拿州和爱达荷州的荒地,一段短暂的狂野浪漫的田园诗就此完美。
但一群疯狂的康沃尔枪手很快就紧追不舍,并迅速逼近。
由于失去了一切,旧金山的安全和匿名仍然是他们地平线上的一个遥远的斑点,他们所做的选择将困扰他们的余生。
在这个抒情、亵渎和推进的爱情故事中,凯文·巴里再次证明了自己是一位造型大师、一位无与伦比的幽默家和一位真正的人心诗人。
