A Nix can take many forms. In Norwegian folklore, it is a spirit who sometimes appears as a white horse that steals children away. In Nathan Hill’s remarkable first novel, a Nix is anything you love that one day disappears, taking with it a piece of your heart.
It’s 2011, and Samuel Andresen-Anderson—college professor, stalled writer—has a Nix of his own: his mother, Faye. He hasn’t seen her in decades, not since she abandoned the family when he was a boy. Now she’s re-appeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the internet, and inflames a politically divided country. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart. Which version of his mother is true? Two facts are certain: she’s facing some serious charges, and she needs Samuel’s help.
To save her, Samuel will have to embark on his own journey, uncovering long-buried secrets about the woman he thought he knew, secrets that stretch across generations and have their origin all the way back in Norway, home of the mysterious Nix. As he does so, Samuel will confront not only Faye’s losses but also his own lost love, and will relearn everything he thought he knew about his mother, and himself.
From the suburban Midwest to New York City to the 1968 riots that rocked Chicago and beyond, The Nix explores—with sharp humor and a fierce tenderness—the resilience of love and home, even in times of radical change.
具体描述
读后感
NIX，在德国神话中，它是一种水中精灵，也谓之——水妖。在内森·希尔讲述的《水妖》的故事中，它不再是那个半人半鱼的的形象，而是一个来自于寒冷的挪威最北端极圈内那个小渔村中的古老神话，是一种会化身为白马的魅魔，它赢得了孩子们的爱，带着孩子们奔驰、飞舞，然后坠落。...
评分摘自《水妖》第三部分：敌人、障碍、谜题、陷阱 开车前往养老院的路上，佩里温克尔打来了电话。 “嘿，哥们儿，”他的出版商说，声音充满回音，“只是想问问情况。” “你听上去很遥远。你在哪儿？” “纽约。我的办公室。我开免提了。大楼底下有一群抗议者， 他们在尖叫乱喊。...
评分小的时候，我们总以为自己很特别，等时间推着年轮慢慢往前走，我们认识了世界，认识了社会，明白自己不过是芸芸众生里的一员，像大海里的一滴水，以自己的方式助推潮起潮落，也像沙漠里的一粒沙，在自己的角落里露宿餐风。 经年累月，一滴水也许被浪花挥洒成照片里绝美的风景，...
评分“盲人摸象的故事里,通常被忽略的一点是,每个人的描述都正确无误。费伊无法理解，或许永远也不可能理解的是,在许多虚假自我的背后,并没有隐着一个真实的自我......那就是盲人摸象的关键所在:重点不在于他们是盲人,而是他们停止得太快,因此永远也不可能知道还有更大的真相需要把...

用户评价
断断续续分了好几次读完。 前半段好琐碎好漫长。后面突然就超级精彩！
评分从头到第9章 Revolution 都很吸引人。可惜最后一章秒变议论文，前面设了太多分主题要在最后一章给个说法，只好借助人物内心剖白了。
评分All changes, real changes, will make you afraid at first.
评分从去年读到今年，终于把它读完了。关于亲情的部分真是看得我泪流满面，你最爱的人却伤你最深，很多话无法说出口，只能forgive forgive forgive。这个主题也是，关于右派文化，关于消费时代，关于idealism and protests，切合时事得让人倒吸一口冷气。最后一章烂尾是最大的遗憾。#1
评分感觉就像是在看又一部Franzen的美式伟大小说，一本书里有十个故事，完全不担心篇幅每个故事都从头说起，涉及了社会历史现代方方面面，有爱情有亲情，看到最后是觉得很精彩只不过有点忘了为什么要绕这么一大圈了。
