WELL

Book ID/图书代码： 12563004B00611

English Summary/英文概要： Well marks the astonishing debut of an author with a singular and unflinching voice and vision. Set primarily among the working class of a Seattle suburb called Federal Way, this highly original novel extols the lives of a large cast of characters lost in various modes of darkness and despair. Whether desperately alone or struggling to come together, they grapple with dark compulsions and heartrending afflictions. What binds them is the Well -- that dark, barren Wasteland of the heart and mind -- as if trapped at the bottom of a well, they search for relief, for a vehicle into the light they know is up and outside. They search in sex, drugs, and violence, and in visions of apocalypse and creation, dreams of angels and killers and local sports championships. Compact, finely wrought, and powerfully charged, Well ultimately rises toward the light in a finale that echoes with the exhilarating human capacity for hope. The result is a mesmerizing tour de force that will establish Matthew McIntosh as a bold and progressive new voice of American fiction.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一部很有创意的小说。作品描写了生活在美国城郊的各种人物：拳击手，酒店招待，资料录入员，渔民，母亲，异国风味的舞蹈者，未来低级舞台的明星，枪手和快要死的人。这些人或是在孤独中绝望，或是尽力凑到一块，寻求某种缓解和超脱。他们乞怜于性，毒品，暴力，启示录和创造的幻想，以及有关天使，杀手和体育运动冠军的美梦。但小说的结尾仍给人留下了希望。
