Children of the New World introduces readers to lost characters in a near-future of social media software implants, manufacturers of memories, dangerously immersive virtual reality games, and frighteningly intuitive androids. Some of these characters live in a superficially utopian future of instant connection and mutual understanding that belies an unbridgeable distance, while others inhabit a post-collapse landscape made primitive by disaster, which they must work to rebuild as we once did millennia ago.In “The Cartographers,” the main character works for a company that creates and sells virtual memories, while attempting to maintain a real-world relationship sabotaged by his addiction to his own creations. In “Saying Goodbye to Yang,” the robotic older brother of an adopted Chinese child malfunctions, and only in his absence does the family realize how real a son he has become.Children of the New World grapples with our unease with the modern world and how our ever-growing dependenc

即將改編同名電影，凱特布蘭琪領銜主演。以輕巧卻精準，直指核心卻不顯尖刻的筆觸，描繪筆下各形各色的生命樣貌。這是柏林以生命經歷寫就的故事，更是屬於當代美國的故事。"Stories from a lost American classic "in the same arena as Alice Munro" (Lydia Davis) "In the field of short fiction, Lucia Berlin is one of America's best kept secrets. That's it. Flat out. No mitigating conditions." --Paul Metcalf A Manual for Cleaning Women compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin. With her trademark blend of humor and melancholy, Berlin crafts miracles from the everyday--uncovering moments of grace in the cafeterias and Laundromats of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Northern California upper classes, and from the perspective of a cleaning woman alone in a hotel dining room in Mexico City. The women of Berlin's stories are lost, but they are also strong, clever, and extraordinarily real. They are hitchhikers, hard workers, bad Christians. With the wit of Lorrie Moore and the grit of Raymond Carver, they navigate a world of jockeys, doctors, and
