Liar, Dreamer, Thief by Maria Dong

卡特里娜-金可能破产了,是家里的害群之马,而且有点神经质,但她不是一个跟踪者。她对她的同事库尔特的痴迷,只是许多应对机制中的一个,就像她不断的形状和数字仪式,或者每当她感到焦虑或压力时,她最喜欢的儿童书籍的场景就会渗入她的视野。

但当卡特里娜发现库尔特发来的一条神秘信息,暗示他知道她被监视时,她对正常生活的脆弱坚持崩溃了。在强迫症的驱使下,她举行了她所拥有的最强大的仪式来夺回控制权–午夜访问卡亚托加大桥,并及时赶到,目睹了库尔特的自杀。在他跳楼之前,他向她提出了一个毁灭性的指责:他的死都是她的错。

惊恐之余,Katrina梳理了她在过去三年中收集的关于Kurt的线索,但每一次发现都会发现一个令人恐惧的事实:在她观察他的每一刻,他都在观察她。而她以为自己已经抛开的过去呢?它比她想象中的更紧密地跟随她。

本书是一部扣人心弦的翻书之作,也是对心理健康的敏感探索,是对生活中所有复杂情况的亲密描述,以及揭开人们最严密的秘密所固有的危险。

Katrina Kim may be broke, the black sheep of her family, and slightly unhinged, but she isn’t a stalker. Her obsession with her co-worker, Kurt, is just one of many coping mechanisms—like her constant shape and number rituals, or the way scenes from her favorite children’s book bleed into her vision whenever she feels anxious or stressed.

But when Katrina finds a cryptic message from Kurt that implies he’s aware of her surveillance, her tenuous hold on a normal life crumbles. Driven by compulsion, she enacts the most powerful ritual she has to reclaim control—a midnight visit to the Cayatoga Bridge—and arrives just in time to witness Kurt’s suicide. Before he jumps, he slams her with a devastating accusation: his death is all her fault.

Horrified, Katrina combs through the clues she’s collected about Kurt over the last three years, but each revelation uncovers a menacing truth: for every moment she was watching him, he was watching her. And the past she thought she’d left behind? It’s been following her more closely than she ever could have imagined.

A gripping page-turner, as well as a sensitive exploration of mental health, Liar, Dreamer, Thief is an intimate portrayal of life in all its complexities—and the dangers inherent in unveiling people’s most closely guarded secrets.
