Brushwood Media NetworkFiction Pop-Up: June | Pop-Up with Candice L DavisIt’s another fabulous Fiction Pop-Up with writing coach, Candice L. Davis.
We discuss books set in the American South dealing with difficult themes in richly layered prose, as well as a tale of artists who met in ‘90s London + reconnect during the COVID lockdown.
The books have it all - compelling characters, powerful storytelling and an unexpected coincidence that irked the reviewers. Most odd.
Look for more Fiction Pop-Ups – they’re roughly every other month.

Só se estraga uma estante75. Liderança, imigração latina e slaaaayÀ revelia da Ana, o Tomé adicionou à estante o livro ‘On Leadership’ (2024), de Tony Blair, onde o ex-primeiro-ministro partilha as suas lições de liderança. Daqui retiram-se inevitáveis analogias com as reflexões que todos estaremos a fazer no rescaldo da eleição americana.
Da parte da Ana, vem a recomendação de ‘Dominicana’ (2019), de Angie Cruz, livro de ficção que relata uma experiência de imigração de uma mulher latina para Nova Iorque, nos anos 60, onde se confronta com várias dificuldades.

｜今天聊的故事｜
麥田出版《如果擁有妳的臉》
作者：車熺垣Frances Cha
書籍介紹：https://www.books.com.tw/products/0010968375?sloc=main
.
────────────────
在看這部小說之前，我還沒看《不夠善良的我們》。重聽這一集的音檔，看著這本書，我卻想起了這齣劇，「如果擁有妳的臉」會不會是簡慶芬看著張怡靜所發出的另一個探問？
如果擁有妳的臉，我可以擁有不一樣的人生嗎？小說裡的女人提出了這樣的謎題，為了解謎，為了脫離她們原來的世界，她們不惜付出代價。有人失去了聲音（訴說自己），有人失去了面貌（表現自己）。
透過這個閱讀的歷程，我卻慢慢看見了她們真實的面貌，那也許是在每一次跌倒受傷之後，漸漸清晰的長相。
─────────────────────
▍#032給我一個故事的時間
▍換一張臉，就能換一個比較美麗的人生嗎？──《如果擁有妳的臉》
在她們意識到「失去」之前，「失去」已經啃噬掉她們一部分的人生。
亞拉失去了聲音。每次她站在又吵又擠的地方，都會看著正在說話的人，想到他們投注了多少生命在自己的聲音當中，但那只佔了她生命的一小部分。
秀津失去了父母。為了脫離這個悲哀的人生，她無所不用其極想變美，就算負債百萬，她也要找到名醫，替自己整型。
居莉失去了自己。因為深信換一張臉就能換一個比較好的人生，她忍受手術的疼痛，把自己整得像明星一樣美。
美帆失去了憧憬。她認為有上千萬人口的韓國就是個玻璃魚缸，總有人自覺高人一等。她假裝自己快樂，卻不知道快樂到底是什麼。
她們聚在一起，有時觸碰彼此的傷疤，有時成為彼此唯一的依靠，在破落的街區，四個女人用不可思議的方式成為彼此療癒的力量……
▍在這一集你可以聽到：
✷ 《時代》雜誌、《BBC》、《君子》雜誌都按讚的小說
✷ 迷妹的每晚睡前儀式
✷ 變美之前，先寫好遺書
✷ 弄頭髮的時候你想聊天嗎？
✷ 把臉換掉，就可以換掉平庸的人生？
✷ 高級俱樂部公關小姐，是本世紀最佳女兒？
✷ 女人內建的基因，婆婆天生痛恨她們的媳婦？
✷ 延伸閱讀：金息《女人與她們進化的天敵》
