【普立茲獎大師路易絲．愛德利屈：二十年磨一劍，幻化而成的魔幻生命圖譜】「巨蟒之吻，或許標記了智慧，或許預示了憂傷，又或者，它僅僅是極致生命經驗中那份荒謬的出口。」當代美國文學靈魂人物、普立茲獎與美國國家圖書獎雙料得主－Louise Erdrich，帶著她醞釀二十載的短篇小說集 Python's Kiss 震撼回歸。這不只是一本書，這是一场長達二十年的文字朝聖，收錄了她筆下最具想像力、最溫柔也最殘酷的人間百態。在這些故事裡，平凡與超現實只有一線之隔：【荒誕的執著】：一名少女決定將餘生託付給一顆石頭，尋求永恆的沉默。【數位的報復】：一名女子潛入企業私有的「來世」，只為向死去的父親發起復仇。【生命的震撼】：部落報紙編輯從兒子口中聽聞了一個超越她生命認知的神秘故事。【孤獨的共鳴】：從尋求安定的移民農民，到面對民謠歌手小偷的男人，愛德利屈寫盡了平凡人的不凡時刻。本書不僅收錄了大師級的文字，更特別邀請作者的女兒、藝術家 Aza Erdrich Abe 為故事親自操刀插畫。母女間的創意對話，為文字注入了視覺上的啟示與深度，讓這部作品成為值得珍藏的藝術品。From Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich, a captivating collection of short stories It was as though I was chosen--marked out by the python's kiss for wisdom or maybe sorrow.
