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.欧·亨利短篇小说选(经典译林)
全书收录了欧·亨利最负盛名的四十二篇短篇小说,多以20世纪初的纽约为背景,集中展现了世纪之交的时代风貌。作者敏锐地将社会热点问题剥离出来,以优雅和精炼的语言加以艺术再现。小说主人公多是小职员、警察、流浪汉和贫穷艺术家之类的小人物,但同时又是恩爱的夫妻、守信的友人、舍己为人的平民英雄等。小说构思精致机巧,情节张弛有度,结局往往出人意料,整体风格乐观诙谐,行文间充满机智。
