英文简介:
From an award-winning writer whose work Roxane Gay calls “utterly unique and remarkable” comes a surreal novel about a woman in Silicon Valley who must decide how much she’s willing to give up for success–for fans of My Year of Rest and Relaxation and Her Body and Other Parties.
A year into her dream job at a cutthroat Silicon Valley start-up, Cassie finds herself trapped in a corporate nightmare.
Between the long hours, toxic bosses, and unethical projects, she also struggles to reconcile the glittering promise of a city where obscene wealth lives alongside abject poverty and suffering.
Ivy League grads complain about the snack selection from a conference room with a view of unhoused people bathing in the bay.
Start-up burnouts leap into the paths of commuter trains, and men literally set themselves on fire in the streets.
Though isolated, Cassie is never alone.
From her earliest memory, a miniature black hole has been her constant companion.
It feeds on her depression and anxiety, growing or shrinking in relation to her distress.
The black hole watches, but it also waits.
Its relentless pull draws Cassie ever closer as the world around her unravels.
When she ends up unexpectedly pregnant at the same time her CEO’s demands cross into illegal territory, Cassie must decide whether the tempting fruits of Silicon Valley are really worth it.
Sharp but vulnerable, unsettling yet darkly comic, Ripeportrays one millennial woman’s journey through our late-capitalist hellscape and offers a brilliantly incisive look at the absurdities of modern life.
中文简介:
获奖作家罗克珊·盖伊（Roxane Gay）称其作品“完全独特且非凡”，这是一部超现实小说，讲述了一位硅谷女性必须决定自己愿意为成功放弃多少——献给《我的休息和放松之年》的粉丝们。
以及她的身体和其他各方。
在一家残酷的硅谷初创公司工作一年后，卡西发现自己陷入了一场企业噩梦。
在漫长的工作时间、有毒的老板和不道德的项目之间，她还努力调和这座城市闪闪发光的承诺，那里的财富与赤贫和苦难并存。
常春藤盟校毕业生抱怨会议室里的零食选择，因为会议室里可以看到无家可归的人在海湾里洗澡。
初创企业的倦怠蔓延到通勤列车的路径上，人们甚至在街上自焚。
尽管与世隔绝，卡西并不孤单。
从她最早的记忆开始，一个微型黑洞就一直陪伴着她。
它以她的抑郁和焦虑为食，随着她的痛苦而增加或减少。
黑洞在观察，但也在等待。
随着卡西周围的世界逐渐瓦解，它的无情拉力将她拉得越来越近。
当她意外怀孕的同时，她的首席执行官的要求却进入了非法领域，卡西必须决定硅谷诱人的果实是否真的值得。
《成熟》尖锐但脆弱，令人不安但又带有黑色喜剧色彩，描绘了一位千禧一代女性穿越晚期资本主义地狱景观的旅程，并对现代生活的荒谬提供了极其敏锐的观察。
