The Bee Stingepub,mobi,azw3格式电子书下载，作者：Paul Murray-读书派

Irresistibly funny, wise and thought-provoking, The Bee Sting is a tour de force about family, fortune, and the struggle to be a good person when the world is falling apart . . .

The Barnes family is in trouble. Dickie's once-lucrative car business is going under - but rather than face the music, he's spending his days in the woods, building an apocalypse-proof bunker with a renegade handyman. His wife Imelda is selling off her jewellery on eBay while their teenage daughter Cass, formerly top of her class, seems determined to binge-drink her way to her final exams. And twelve-year-old PJ is putting the final touches to his grand plan to run away from home.

Where did it all go wrong? A patch of ice on the tarmac, a casual favour to a charming stranger, a bee caught beneath a bridal veil - can a single moment of bad luck change the direction of a life? And if the story has already been written - is there still time to find a happy ending?

家庭的悲剧已经被描写过多，但这本书依然是悲剧的新层次。作者呈现了非常真实微妙的人与人之间的隔阂，以及表面平静之下的风暴。没有政局动荡、战争难民，他人即地狱的同时，自我也画地为牢，有毒的友情、嫉妒、自私、胆怯、欺骗、只想抓住浮木而不管那是谁。以第一章为现实时间线起点，到午夜森林大概是一年左右，而时间在一家四口的轮替视角中向前的同时，也拼凑完整了往事。受害者也是加害者，作者可以把悲剧写成如此绝境又无辜的局面，也是厉害。

太好看了我打十颗星！每次读到PJ的部分就忍不住流泪，眼睁睁看着最纯真懵懂的孩子被原生家庭一点点改变，年纪大了真得看不了这种……实在是佩服作者，四个人四个视角仿佛作者是亲身经历过每一个女人男人少女男孩的青春期厌世、中年危机、存在主义危机、原生家庭暴力一样。语言和句子充满灵气，好多时候看着看着就感慨英语竟然是能写成这样。第三人称到第二人称的叙事转换和三幕编排的结构也非常吸引人。一方面感觉非常适合视觉化影视化，不过另一方面影视化无法带来人称改变和结构变幻的新奇快感。期待有一天能有编剧尝试改编吧。ps.唯一的小遗憾是个人不太喜欢结局的安排（但也许有人会非常喜欢），不过因为阅读体验非常好就还是满分

第一部分中规中矩地平铺直叙，写作方式也符合角色特点。第二部分每一章变得更短，节奏变快更加紧张，到了第三部分的“剧本”有种跟着运镜跑的感觉。塞了很多话题和冲突但一点都不拥挤，反而合情合理。最后戛然而止很适合放到大银幕上，接着roll credits （非常喜欢第一部分Imelda章节的最后一句，像是在读鬼故事，起了鸡皮疙瘩）2024第一本读完的书，非常带劲。
