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.

If you make the easy choice every day, then it becomes a pattern, and your patterns become your life.
评分很巧閤最近讀的兩本小說，獨居一年和nix都是以母親離開傢庭開篇的。nix篇幅很長，講的是這麼一個道理，一個人有很多麵，就像盲人摸象，每個部分都是整體的組成之一。如果過分追求其中某一麵，執著於自我，就會迷失。解脫的辦法是放棄執著，走齣自我。放棄對彆人的憤怒，同情，理解彆人。
评分閱讀體驗超級流暢。想一口氣讀完，又捨不得讀完。朗讀者太重要瞭。會捧著書重讀。
评分這就是五分小說的水平瞭。一個好故事。
