《投降》Submission

作者：Michel Houellebecq

No other French novelist knows how to stir trouble quite like Michel Houellebecq. This account of France under Muslim rule is set in 2022. It came out on the day of the Charlie Hebdo attack and has been called scaremongering. Its fans say it speaks to France's deepest secret fears.

没有哪个法国小说家比Michael Houellebecq更会挑事儿。他假想法国在2022年被穆斯林占领。这发生在《查理周刊》事件后，被指为兜售恐慌。其支持者则认为其道出法国最深处的恐惧。

《小生活》A Little Life

作者：Hanya Yanagihara

On the surface a story about four university graduates trying to make it in New York, at heart Hanya Yanagihara's second novel is a fairy-tale about child abuse, pitting good against evil, love against viciousness, hope against hopelessness.

表面上是四个大学毕业生在纽约谋生活的故事，实质上是作者关于儿童虐待的童话：正对邪，爱对恶，希望对无望。

《亲历者回忆伟大奥克的衰落》An Account of the Decline of the Great Auk, According to One Who Saw It

作者：Jessie Greengrass

Restraint and a formal writing style, by a philosophy graduate from Cambridge University, give a tone of melancholy to this spectacularly accomplished, chilly debut collection of short stories about thwarted lives and opportunities missed. The strongest are also the most ordinary.
