Greta Gerwig could film this novel, but so could Quentin Tarantino.
” –Dwight Garner, The New York Times The Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries brings us Birnam Wood, a gripping thriller of high drama and kaleidoscopic insight into what drives us to survive.
Birnam Wood is on the move .
.
.
A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass on New Zealand’s South Island, cutting off the town of Thorndike and leaving a sizable farm abandoned.
The disaster presents an opportunity for Birnam Wood, an undeclared, unregulated, sometimes-criminal, sometimes-philanthropic guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice.
For years, the group has struggled to break even.
To occupy the farm at Thorndike would mean a shot at solvency at last.
But the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine also has an interest in the place: he has snatched it up to build his end-times bunker, or so he tells Birnam’s founder, Mira, when he catches her on the property.
He’s intrigued by Mira, and by Birnam Wood; although they’re poles apart politically, it seems Lemoine and the group might have enemies in common.
But can Birnam trust him? And, as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust one another? A gripping psychological thriller from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries, Eleanor Catton’s Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its drama, Austenian in its wit, and, like both influences, fascinated by what makes us who we are.
A brilliantly constructed study of intentions, actions, and consequences, it is a mesmerizing, unflinching consideration of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.
中文简介:
国际畅销书和全国独立畅销书 “Birnam Wood 非常棒。
作为一个多层次的、角色驱动的惊悚片,它已经尽善尽美了。
Ruth Rendell 会喜欢它的。
一部质感精美的作品——真是一种享受。
” ——史蒂芬金“一代代人的心声……一个老练的翻页者……伯南伍德几乎让我高兴地笑了起来。
整件事都噼啪作响……格蕾塔葛韦格可以拍这部小说,但昆汀塔伦蒂诺也可以” ——德怀特·加纳,纽约时报 布克奖得主、著名作家伯纳姆·伍德 (Birnam Wood) 为我们带来了一部引人入胜的惊悚小说,讲述了精彩的剧情和千变万化的洞察力,揭示了是什么驱使我们生存。
Birnam Wood 正在行动。
. .山体滑坡关闭了新西兰南岛的 Korowai 山口,切断了 Thorndike 镇,并留下一个相当大的农场被遗弃。
这场灾难为 Birnam Wood 提供了一个机会,Birnam Wood 是一个未申报、不受监管、时而犯罪、时而慈善的游击园艺集体,在没人注意的地方种植庄稼。
多年来,该集团一直在努力实现收支平衡。
占领 Thorndike 的农场将意味着最终有偿付能力的机会。
但神秘的美国亿万富翁罗伯特勒莫因也对这个地方感兴趣:他已经抢走了它来建造他的末日地堡,或者当他在 Birnam 的创始人 Mira 那里看到她时,他是这样告诉她的。
他对 Mira 和 Birnam Wood 很感兴趣;尽管他们在政治上截然不同,但 Lemoine 和该组织似乎有共同的敌人。
但是 Birnam 能信任他吗?而且,随着他们的理想和意识形态受到考验,他们能否相互信任?埃莉诺·卡顿 (Eleanor Catton) 的《伯纳姆·伍德》(Birnam Wood) 是布克奖获奖作家《发光体》(The Luminaries) 的扣人心弦的心理惊悚片,它的戏剧是莎士比亚的戏剧,是奥斯汀式的机智,并且像这两种影响一样,着迷于是什么造就了我们。
这是对意图、行动和后果的出色研究,是对人类确保自身生存的冲动的迷人而坚定的思考。
