读过 The Lincoln Highway 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
这本实际上没有 A Gentleman in Moscow那么讨我喜欢…….中间感觉有点冗长和凌乱，可能是用孩子的口吻讲这个故事的原因?最后这个结局，还蛮意外的，甚至需要一个trigger warning………以及其实对主要角色印象不是那么深刻，但是 Ulysses这个角色、以及相关的希腊神话references写得真好啊
The Lincoln Highway [Book] Douban Goodreads
The bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility and master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction returns with a stylish and propulsive novel set in 1950s America
In June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the work farm where he has just served a year for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett's intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother and head west where they can start their lives anew. But after the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm had hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car. Together, they hatch an altogether different plan for Emmett's future.
Spanning just ten days and told from multiple points of view, Towles's third novel will satisfy fans of his multi-layered literary styling while providing them an array of new and richly imagined settings, characters, and themes.
