6点27分的朗读者
吉兰·维尼奥勒是钢铁怪兽“碎霸500”砸书机的仆人,每天过着从书籍化浆厂到家两点一线的生活,乏味而孤单。早晨6点27分,吉兰准时搭上去工厂的快铁列车,他总是挑一张靠门边的橘红色折叠座位坐下,然后小心翼翼地从皮包里拿出一个文件夹,又从文件夹里拿出一张夹在吸墨纸之间的书页,这页书是他头一天从怪兽的牙齿下偷偷保存下来的。吉兰把书页端放在垫板上,清了清嗓子开始大声朗读起来。不论是快铁中每天过着乏味生活的上班族,还是养老院中的老人们,都渴望从一两页断简残编的朗读声中,短暂地进入不一样的生活。有一天,吉兰在列车箱中捡到了一个U盘,其中装满了一个陌生女孩的文字,他的人生轨迹渐渐发生改变。The Rise and Fall of the Gallivanters
In Portland in 1983, girls are disappearing. Noah, a teen punk with a dark past, becomes obsessed with finding out where they've gone —and he's convinced their disappearance has something to do with the creepy German owners of a local brewery, the PfefferBrau Haus. Noah worries about the missing girls as a way of avoiding the fact that something's seriously wrong with his best friend, Evan. Could it be the same dark force that's pulling them all down? When the PfefferBrau Haus opens its doors for a battle of the bands, Noah pulls his band, the Gallivanters, back together in order to get to the bottom of the mystery. But there's a new addition to the band: an enigmatic David Bowie look-alike named Ziggy. And secrets other than where the bodies are buried will be revealed. From Edgar-nominated author M. J. Beaufrand, this is a story that gets to the heart of grief and loss while also being hilarious, fast paced, and heartbreaking.
