A black man's stark, visceral experience of racism.

2.Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS BY JOBY WARRICK
《黑旗——伊斯兰国的崛起》,作者:乔比·沃瑞克
&9658;&9658;&9658;Review 点评
Joby Warrick shows in painful but compulsively readable detail how a series of mishaps and mistakes by the U.S. and Jordanian governments gave this unschooled hoodlum his start as a terrorist superstar and set the Middle East on a path of sectarian violence that has proved hard to contain.
作者用充满痛苦但又引人入胜的笔触,揭示了美国政府和约旦政府所犯下的一系列灾难性错误,把一名天生的流氓造就为恐怖主义巨星,并使后来的中东陷于难以控制的宗派暴力事件当中。
3.The Book of Aron BY JIM SHEPARD
《阿伦的书》,作者:吉姆·谢巴德
&9658;&9658;&9658;Review 点评
Aron relays his world just as he experiencesthat his town slides into hell. Although relentless in its portrayal of systematic evil, "The Book of Aron" is nonetheless a story of such candor about the complexity of heroism that it challenges us to greater courage.
书中阿伦转述的故事就仿佛是他的亲身经历,他所在的小镇陷入地狱。虽然《阿伦的书》对制度性罪恶的刻画冷酷无情,但它也是一个讲述英雄主义复杂性的坦率故事,赋予我们更多勇气。

《命运与权力:乔治·W·H·布什的美国奥德赛》,作者:乔恩·米查姆

What Meacham so skillfully adds to this understanding — through extraordinary detail, deft writing and, thanks to his access to Bush's diaries, an inner monologue of key moments in Bush's presidency.
米查姆的细节描写卓越,写作方法巧妙,又有幸接触到了老布什日记,由此很好地把握了他在任期内关键时刻的内心活动。

Exploring the real-world effects — and the political ones — of our technological insecurity.

7.A Little Life BY Hanya Yanagihara
《小生活》,作者:汉雅·柳原
&9658;&9658;&9658;Review 点评
Through her decade-by-decade examination of these people's lives, Yanagihara draws a deeply realized character study that inspires as much as devastates.

8.Negroland:A memoir BY MARGO JEFFERSON
《黑人之地:一部回忆录》,作者:马戈·杰弗逊
&9658;&9658;&9658;Review 点评
"Negroland" is not about raw racism or caricatured villains. It is about subtleties and nuances, presumptions and slights that chip away at one's humanity and take a mental toll.
《黑人之地》无关原始的种族主义或被讽刺攻击的恶棍,它描述了那些微妙而细致的假想和轻蔑,他们削弱了人性,造成了心理的伤害。
9.Purity BY JONATHAN FRANZEN
《纯度》,作者:乔纳森·弗兰岑
&9658;&9658;&9658;Review 点评
Franzen writes with perfectly balanced fluency. From its tossed-off observations to its thoughtful reflections on nuclear weapons and the moral compromises of journalism, this novel offers a constantly provocative series of insights.
《纯度》的写作完美、平衡而流畅。弗兰岑对于核武器和新闻业的道德妥协进行了深入的观察和思考,为我们提供了一系列颇具挑战性的观点。
10.Welcome to Braggsville BY T.GERONIMO JOHNSON
《欢迎来到布朗斯维尔》,作者:T. 杰罗尼莫·约翰逊
&9658;&9658;&9658;Review 点评
Johnson is a master at stripping away our persistent myths and exposing the subterfuge and displacement necessary to keep pretending that a culture built on kidnapping, rape and torture was the apotheosis of gentility and honor.
作者约翰逊善于去除我们固执的缪见、揭露人们的诡计和错位,这种错位假装把建立在绑架、强奸和酷刑之上的文化当做教养和荣誉典范。
