《我和世界之間》，作者：塔-那西斯·科茨
►►►Recommendation 推薦詞
It is a riveting meditation on the state of race in America that has arrived at a tumultuous moment in America's history of racial strife.
在美國種族沖突出現(xiàn)前所未有的激烈動(dòng)蕩的時(shí)刻，《我和世界之間》關(guān)于美國種族問題的闡釋是發(fā)人深省的。
What it does better than any other recent book is relentlessly drive home the point that "racism is a visceral experience..."To be black in the ghetto of Coates's youth "was to be naked before the elements of the world, before all the guns, fists, knives, crack, rape, and disease."
相較于其他新書，它更加殘酷地指出："種族主義是一種發(fā)自內(nèi)心的體驗(yàn)……"作為一名貧民窟的黑人，科茨的青春"在全世界面前變得赤裸裸，在槍支、拳頭、刀、爆炸、強(qiáng)奸和疾病面前手無寸鐵，毫無反擊之力"。

►►►Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)
Joby Warrick shows in painful but compulsively readable detail how a series of mishaps and mistakes by the U.S. and Jordanian governments gave this unschooled hoodlum his start as a terrorist superstar and set the Middle East on a path of sectarian violence that has proved hard to contain.
作者用充滿痛苦但又引人入勝的筆觸，揭示了美國政府和約旦政府所犯下的一系列災(zāi)難性錯(cuò)誤，把一名天生的流氓造就為恐怖主義巨星，并使后來的中東陷于難以控制的宗派暴力事件當(dāng)中。
3.The Book of Aron BY JIM SHEPARD
《阿倫的書》，作者：吉姆·謝巴德
►►►Recommendation 推薦詞
In the summer of 1942, German soldiers expelled almost 200 starving children from an orphanage in the Warsaw Ghetto and packed them into rail cars bound for Treblinka.
1942年夏，華沙猶太孤兒院里將近200位饑餓的兒童被德國士兵驅(qū)逐，裝進(jìn)了開往特雷布林卡集中營的火車上。

►►►Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)
Aron relays his world just as he experiencesthat his town slides into hell. Although relentless in its portrayal of systematic evil, "The Book of Aron" is nonetheless a story of such candor about the complexity of heroism that it challenges us to greater courage.
書中阿倫轉(zhuǎn)述的故事就仿佛是他的親身經(jīng)歷，他所在的小鎮(zhèn)陷入地獄。雖然《阿倫的書》對(duì)制度性罪惡的刻畫冷酷無情，但它也是一個(gè)講述英雄主義復(fù)雜性的坦率故事，賦予我們更多勇氣。
4.Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush BY JON MEACHAM
《命運(yùn)與權(quán)力：喬治·W·H·布什的美國奧德賽》，作者：喬恩·米查姆
►►►Recommendation 推薦詞
Jon Meacham's new biography of George H.W. Bush accomplishes a neat trick.
喬恩·米查姆的老布什傳是一個(gè)巧妙的設(shè)計(jì)。
In Meacham's telling, Bush indeed lacked an ideological vision, was as overmatched in domestic policy as he was masterful on the global stage, benefited from his family's influence, and remains overshadowed "by the myth of his predecessor and the drama of his sons' political lives."
在米查姆的講述中，布什確實(shí)缺乏一種意識(shí)形態(tài)視野，他對(duì)國內(nèi)政策的掌控能力遠(yuǎn)遜于對(duì)國際事務(wù)的處理能力，他得益于來自家庭的影響，卻至今仍活在前任的神話以及兒子戲劇性政治生涯的陰影之中。
►►►Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)
What Meacham so skillfully adds to this understanding — through extraordinary detail, deft writing and, thanks to his access to Bush's diaries, an inner monologue of key moments in Bush's presidency.
米查姆的細(xì)節(jié)描寫卓越，寫作方法巧妙，又有幸接觸到了老布什日記，由此很好地把握了他在任期內(nèi)關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻的內(nèi)心活動(dòng)。
5.Fates and Furies BY LAUREN GROFF
《命運(yùn)和暴怒》，作者：羅倫·格羅夫
►►►Recommendation 推薦詞
The book's first half concocts the blessed life of Lancelot "Lotto" Satterwhite, the adored son of a wealthy family who has great ambitions to be an actor. His wife, Mathilde, so long impoverished and alone, willingly takes on the chore of encouraging Lancelot.
作者在前半部分編造了男主的幸福生活，他是一個(gè)富裕家庭的可愛兒子，想要當(dāng)一個(gè)演員。他的妻子瑪?shù)贍栠_(dá)長期被貧窮和孤獨(dú)折磨，心甘情愿地?fù)?dān)負(fù)起鼓勵(lì)這個(gè)自戀年輕人的苦差事。
And halfway through, Groff turns from "Fates" to "Furies." Here's a woman as determined as Antigone, as ferocious as Medea.
行文過半，格羅夫從"命運(yùn)"寫到"暴怒"，在真實(shí)中兩人有著不可調(diào)和的矛盾。最后，這名女性成了一位像安提戈涅一樣決絕、像美狄亞一樣殘忍的人
►►►Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)
'Fates and Furies' review: A masterful tale of marriage and secrets.
這是一部關(guān)于婚姻和秘密的史詩巨著。

Welcome to the brave new world of criminal technology, where robbers have been replaced by hackers and victims include all of us on the Web.
歡迎來到犯罪技術(shù)的美麗新世界，在這里，劫匪已被黑客替代，包括我們?cè)趦?nèi)的所有上網(wǎng)者都是受害人。
Goodman, a former beat cop who founded the Future Crimes Institute, wrote his book to shed light on the latest in criminal and terrorist tradecraft and to kick off a discussion. He presents myriad cybercrime examples.
前警察、未來犯罪研究所創(chuàng)立者古德曼通過這本書揭示了最新的犯罪行為和恐怖主義間諜情報(bào)技術(shù)，并進(jìn)行了討論，他向我們展示了無數(shù)令人匪夷所思的網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪的例子。
►►►Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)
Exploring the real-world effects — and the political ones — of our technological insecurity.
這是一本探索網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)所帶來的不安感在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中和政治圈里真實(shí)呈現(xiàn)的佳作。
7.A Little Life BY Hanya Yanagihara
《小生活》，作者：漢雅·柳原
►►►Recommendation 推薦詞
Hanya Yanagihara's novel, which was a finalist for the National Book Award in fiction, illuminates human suffering pushed to its limits, drawn in extraordinary, eloquent detail.
漢雅·柳原這部小說是國家圖書獎(jiǎng)小說類的入圍作品，她通過非凡的、意味深長的細(xì)節(jié)，闡釋了人類的極致苦難。
The narrative quickly concentrates on Jude, an orphan with a mysterious past. Jude's desire to maintain a veneer of control, despite being haunted by sexual and psychological abuse, creates the book's major drama.
小說的主人公裘德是一個(gè)有著神秘過去的孤兒，盡管裘德深陷性虐待和心理虐待之中，但他努力掩飾這一切——這構(gòu)成了本書的主要沖突。
►►►Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)
Through her decade-by-decade examination of these people's lives, Yanagihara draws a deeply realized character study that inspires as much as devastates.
通過對(duì)數(shù)十載生活的考察與審視，漢雅·柳原所深刻呈現(xiàn)的人物角色令人鼓舞又讓人絕望。
8.Negroland：A memoir BY MARGO JEFFERSON
《黑人之地：一部回憶錄》，作者：馬戈·杰弗遜
►►►Recommendation 推薦詞
Margo Jefferson was an African American girl from a good family that had money, connections and expectations of excellence.
作者馬戈·杰斐遜是一位非裔美國女孩，來自一個(gè)有錢、有人脈、追求卓越的好家庭。
She was (mostly) protected from the sting of racism and its pernicious hacking away at self-esteem, opportunity and hope. But her armor was thin, and over the years she has nursed her discomfort with being a child of privilege.
她大部分時(shí)候都免受種族主義的刺痛和對(duì)于自尊、機(jī)遇、希望的險(xiǎn)惡攻擊。但她的盔甲依然薄弱，多年來，她一直試圖平復(fù)自己作為一個(gè)特權(quán)階級(jí)的小孩在白人上流社會(huì)中的不安。
►►►Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)
"Negroland" is not about raw racism or caricatured villains. It is about subtleties and nuances, presumptions and slights that chip away at one's humanity and take a mental toll.
《黑人之地》無關(guān)原始的種族主義或被諷刺攻擊的惡棍，它描述了那些微妙而細(xì)致的假想和輕蔑，他們削弱了人性，造成了心理的傷害。
9.Purity BY JONATHAN FRANZEN
《純度》，作者：喬納森·弗蘭岑
►►►Recommendation 推薦詞
The book traces the unlikely rise of a poor, fatherless child named Pip. At least partially to escape her mother's neediness, Pip accepts an internship with a rogue Web site in the jungles of Bolivia that exposes the nasty secrets of corporations and nations.
本書描繪窮苦喪父的皮普希望渺茫的成長過程。為了能多少逃脫母親的窮困潦倒，皮普接受了一份位于玻利維亞叢林中的流氓網(wǎng)站的短期實(shí)習(xí)，這個(gè)網(wǎng)站暴露了公司和國家的骯臟秘密。
Its leader is an Internet activist whose back story in East Germany reads like a cerebral thriller.
該網(wǎng)站的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)是個(gè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)活動(dòng)家，他在東德的經(jīng)歷讀來就像一部驚悚小說。
►►►Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)
Franzen writes with perfectly balanced fluency. From its tossed-off observations to its thoughtful reflections on nuclear weapons and the moral compromises of journalism, this novel offers a constantly provocative series of insights.
《純度》的寫作完美、平衡而流暢。弗蘭岑對(duì)于核武器和新聞業(yè)的道德妥協(xié)進(jìn)行了深入的觀察和思考，為我們提供了一系列頗具挑戰(zhàn)性的觀點(diǎn)。
10.Welcome to Braggsville BY T.GERONIMO JOHNSON
《歡迎來到布朗斯維爾》，作者：T. 杰羅尼莫·約翰遜
►►►Recommendation 推薦詞
D'aron Little May Davenport, a polite white teen from Braggsville, Ga., arrives at University of California at Berkeley as if he's a Southern-fried Candide.

The whole novel turns on a moment in one of his history classes . A too clever, incredibly offensive, potentially disastrous plan is born: D'aron and three friends travel back to Braggsville and stage a mock lynching, "a performative intervention."
整個(gè)小說由一節(jié)歷史課展開。一項(xiàng)聰明至極、充滿冒犯的災(zāi)難性計(jì)劃誕生了：阿隆和三個(gè)朋友回到布朗斯維爾，導(dǎo)演了一場虛擬私刑。
►►►Review 點(diǎn)評(píng)
Johnson is a master at stripping away our persistent myths and exposing the subterfuge and displacement necessary to keep pretending that a culture built on kidnapping, rape and torture was the apotheosis of gentility and honor.
作者約翰遜善于去除我們固執(zhí)的繆見、揭露人們的詭計(jì)和錯(cuò)位，這種錯(cuò)位假裝把建立在綁架、強(qiáng)奸和酷刑之上的文化當(dāng)做教養(yǎng)和榮譽(yù)典范。
