We Are the Light by Matthew Quick

生活中充满了守护天使。

卢卡斯-古德加姆生活在宾夕法尼亚州的马杰斯特,一个被最近的一场悲剧搞得四分五裂的古朴郊区。Majestic的每个人都把卢卡斯看作是英雄–每个人,也就是除了卢卡斯自己。卢卡斯坚持认为他的亡妻达西每晚都会以天使的形式来看他,他把时间花在给他以前的荣格分析家卡尔写信上。只有当社区排斥的18岁年轻人伊莱开始在卢卡斯的后院露营时,一个不太可能的联盟才得以形成,两人开始了治愈邻居的旅程,最重要的是,治愈他们自己。

本书是是一部关于悲伤的流沙和爱的日常奇迹的令人难忘的小说。卢卡斯-古德加姆幽默而富有灵魂的故事为有毒的男子气概提供了解药,并颂扬了艺术的治愈力量。在这个翻开最后一页后还会陪伴你很久的故事中,Quick提醒我们,守护天使就在我们身边–有时以我们最不期望的形式出现。

LIFE IS FULL OF GUARDIAN ANGELS.

Lucas Goodgame lives in Majestic, Pennsylvania, a quaint suburb that has been torn apart by a recent tragedy. Everyone in Majestic sees Lucas as a hero—everyone, that is, except Lucas himself. Insisting that his deceased wife, Darcy, visits him every night in the form of an angel, Lucas spends his time writing letters to his former Jungian analyst, Karl. It is only when Eli, an eighteen-year-old young man whom the community has ostracized, begins camping out in Lucas’s backyard that an unlikely alliance takes shape and the two embark on a journey to heal their neighbors and, most important, themselves.

From Matthew Quick, the New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings PlaybookWe Are the Light is an unforgettable novel about the quicksand of grief and the daily miracle of love. The humorous, soul-baring story of Lucas Goodgame offers an antidote to toxic masculinity and celebrates the healing power of art. In this tale that will stay with you long after the final page is turned, Quick reminds us that guardian angels are all around us—sometimes in the forms we least expect.
