內容簡介

內容簡介 文思枯竭的中年作家，卻在一個充滿執念的寵物店店員身上尋找靈感； 一個懷孕的女子發現自己越來越愛以奴役她的幫傭為樂； 將妹妹救出精神療養機構的羅珊，發現她們其實一樣脆弱； 7篇故事，7種生命的樣態，平凡卻時而離奇，看似日常卻隱藏著科幻的末世感，Rebecca Miller細心堆疊出一個個場景和對白，如電影運鏡般流暢的語句，點出人與人之間既強烈、同時也具毀滅性的親密，有時影響著我們的人生，也賦予讀者更多想像與反思。 A middle-aged novelist devoid of inspiration alights on material in the form of an obsessive pet-shop worker from Cincinnati. A pregnant mother of two finds herself increasingly in thrall to her help, Nat. For Joad, the discovery of a haunting type-written document in an old desk in need of restoration is overwhelming. And when Roxanne rescues her sister from an institution, she comes to realise how vulnerable they both are. Each of the seven stories in Total is a full world, painted with vivid strokes. From the comforting mundanities of motherhood to a technologically infected near future that mirrors our present with dark prescience, each life captured in this collection is unforgettable. Deftly navigating the fault lines of relationships - new, established or remembered - Total is a powerful collection of brilliantly imaginative stories, and eloquent proof of Rebecca Miller’s writing prowess.
