Creation Lake

內容簡介

內容簡介 【2024布克獎入圍名單】「莎迪·史密斯」，一位34歲美國臥底特工，擁有無情的戰術、大膽的意見和清新的美貌，被神秘雇主派往法國一個偏遠角落，她的任務是潛入一個生態環保激進團體，誘使他們採取暴力行動，進而挑唆法國政府進行鎮壓。布魯諾是這個團體的精神導師，他認為擺脫現代生活困擾的道路不是反叛，而是回歸古老的過去。正當莎迪自信滿滿，以為自己的魅力和高明手腕已成功掌控這個團體，卻在不知不覺中被布魯諾深深吸引，他巧妙的反歷史觀、語調中隱隱的哀嘆和他悲劇性的過往，反過來誘惑著莎迪。Sadie Smith--a sardonic, strikingly sexy, 30-something American undercover agent of questionable morals--is sent by her mysterious but powerful employers to a remote corner of France. Her instructions are to infiltrate a commune of radical eco-activists and coax them into violent action, provoking the French state to crush them and their dangerous ideas for good. At first Sadie finds Bruno’s idealism laughable--he lives in a Neanderthal cave and believes the path to enlightenment is a return to primitivism--but over time she falls for his narrative. His ingenious counter-histories, his artful laments, his own devastating story become impossible to turn away from.Beneath this parodic spy novel about a woman caught in the crossfire between the past and the future lies a profound treatise on human history. Written in short, vaulting sections, Creation Lake is Rachel Kushner’s finest achievement yet as a novelist--a work of high art, high comedy, keen insights and irresistible pleasure.

各界推薦

各界推薦 “A profound and irresistible page-turner about a spy-for-hire who infiltrates a commune of eco-activists in rural France. The prose is thrilling, the ideas electrifying.” —The Booker Prize 2024 judges on Creation Lake“An immersive novel about an agent provocateur embedded within a group of environmental activists in south-western France, and slowly becoming mesmerized by the group elder’s theories about Neanderthals. It’s seductive, entrancing, and quite off the wall.” —Mick Herron, The Guardian"An undercover agent embeds with radical French environmentalists in this scintillating story of activism and espionage from Kushner...Most of the narrative is dedicated to the activists’ philosophizing and Sadie’s gimlet-eyed observations, which Kushner magically weaves together...Readers will be captivated." —Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
