working in a retirement home in Tokyo

and thus we come to doubt our own

本书是奥康纳最负盛名的短篇小说集，于作家去世后一年出版，被誉为奥康纳的“天鹅绝唱”，共收录十个经典名篇，作家卓绝的短篇小说技艺及其信仰、创作上的核心理念在本书中得到了集中体现。人世间那些遮蔽现实的幻影假象，南方日常下那一对对悲哀又偏执，傲慢又愚昧，惊悚又暴虐的母子、父子、父女、祖孙、夫妻——这些企图让自己的声音穿透他人灵魂洞穴的人，以拯救他人为由，为自己的畸残找补的人——在作者的毒眼烛照下体无完肤，莫不以精神或生命的瞬间崩塌、残酷毁灭告终。奥康纳冷静残酷的强烈风格在将这些关乎种族信仰、人性道德上的优越感祛魅的过程中达到顶峰。 所收《格林利夫》《天启》《上升的一切必将汇合》曾获得欧•亨利短篇小说奖。
