內容簡介

內容簡介 《假若比爾街能說話》電影官方小說《月光下的藍色男孩》導演巴瑞·賈金斯最新作品，重現詹姆斯‧鮑德溫美國灰暗的世代最動人的愛情故事透過19歲少女Tish的角度，闡述一段糾葛又痛心的愛情故事。Tish懷孕了，她的未婚夫Fonny是一位年輕的雕刻家。兩人準備結婚的相關事宜時，Fonny卻因為被誣控強姦而入獄等待審判。Tish為了未婚夫的清白與孩子的未來，她必須反抗社會的誤解與壓迫以證明Fonny的無辜。過程中，Tish 的家人對她的接納與支持，反觀 Fonny 家人對這件事的不諒解，讓親情成為書中的核心主題之一。而這對年輕的愛侶也面臨複雜的情感折磨─情感、絕望和希望，一段喚起無限憂傷的愛情故事，激情和悲傷交織糾纏。作者鮑德溫創造了兩個活生生的角色，深刻地刻劃出根深蒂固的美國精神。A stunning love story about a young Black woman whose life is torn apart when her lover is wrongly accused of a crime—”a moving, painful story, so vividly human and so obviously based on reality that it strikes us as timeless” (The New York Times Book Review). • Also a major motion picture from Barry Jenkins.“One of the best books Baldwin has ever written—perhaps the best of all.” —The Philadelphia InquirerTold through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin’s story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions—affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche."
