NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE

The relationship between mother and daughter, in all its thorniness and intricacy, is at the heart of Elizabeth Strout’s new novel.

In the 1980s, Lucy, an aspiring writer, ends up spending nine weeks in hospital when she develops complications following what was supposed to be a routine operation. During this time, she is visited by the mother she hasn’t seen for many years and this short visit – five days out of both their lives – becomes the episode around which the rest of the story hangs.

My Name Is Lucy Barton encompasses Lucy’s marriage and her path to becoming a writer, but it is in the intimacy of these five days, with Lucy’s mother taking catnaps in the chair beside her bed, that we come to understand the nature of the bond between them ...

(Excerpt from theguardian.com)

 “A short novel about love, particularly the complicated love between mothers and daughters, but also simpler, more sudden bonds . . . It evokes these connections in a style so spare, so pure and so profound the book almost seems to be a kind of scripture or sutra, if a very down-to-earth and unpretentious one.”—Marion Winik, Newsday

這是李碧華小姐在博客上的一個徵文比賽作品結集。意念源於她一次在日本看到一些掌中書的內容，短柬書寫對母親的愛或懷念，言簡意賅但情意濃厚。

把不敢、不忍、不好竟思、從沒想過、難以開口向母親說的話，寫出來。一切要“及時”。用字純樸，發自真心。

小思、王安憶、陸川、陳果、小克、陳顧方、田沁鑫、侯小強、李碧華等擔任評審、分別在香港及中國大陸出版，版稅捐助中國的孤兒院，讓失去母愛的小孩受惠。

Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations

A New York Times Bestseller

A field guide to the twenty-first century, written by one of its most celebrated observers

We all sense it―something big is going on. You feel it in your workplace. You feel it when you talk to your kids. You can’t miss it when you read the newspapers or watch the news. Our lives are being transformed in so many realms all at once―and it is dizzying.

In Thank You for Being Late, a work unlike anything he has attempted before, Thomas L. Friedman exposes the tectonic movements that are reshaping the world today and explains how to get the most out of them and cushion their worst impacts. You will never look at the world the same way again after you read this book: how you understand the news, the work you do, the education your kids need, the investments your employer has to make, and the moral and geopolitical choices our country has to navigate will all be refashioned by Friedman’s original analysis...

Thank You for Being Late is a work of contemporary history that serves as a field manual for how to write and think about this era of accelerations. It’s also an argument for “being late”―for pausing to appreciate this amazing historical epoch we’re passing through and to reflect on its possibilities and dangers. To amplify this point, Friedman revisits his Minnesota hometown in his moving concluding chapters; there, he explores how communities can create a “topsoil of trust” to anchor their increasingly diverse and digital populations.

With his trademark vitality, wit, and optimism, Friedman shows that we can overcome the multiple stresses of an age of accelerations―if we slow down, if we dare to be late and use the time to reimagine work, politics, and community. Thank You for Being Late is Friedman’s most ambitious book―and an essential guide to the present and the future.

責任與判斷 (Responsibility and Judgment)

漢娜.鄂蘭 (Hannah Arendt)

本書集結鄂蘭生前最後十年未出版的文章與演講稿，她在其中針對道德哲學提出幾個問題，尤其是關於「惡的本質」與「道德抉擇」。

沒有人比鄂蘭更了解二十世紀的政治危機可以從道德崩潰的角度視之。勢如瓦解，顯而易見。鄂蘭看到那具爭議性、挑戰性以及困難的核心，不是由於人的無知或邪惡，未能辨識道德的「真相」，而是由於道德的「真相」竟不足以作為標準，去對人已經可能做到的事情下判斷。鄂蘭允許自己提出的唯一的概括結論，反諷地指向一種大幅變革的無所不括，即西方思想傳統原本引以為神聖之事全盤改變了。道德思想的傳統斷了，不只由於政治觀念，也由於二十世紀的政治事實，傳統斷裂，再也無法復原。

鄂蘭既非虛無主義者，也非道學家；而是思想家，追隨其思考的指引。然而要跟上她，卻是讀者的艱鉅任務——主要並不是對於讀者的智力或知識的挑戰，而是對思考能力的挑戰。她提出的並非理論的解決，而是豐富的刺激，刺激你自己去思考。她覺得托克維爾（Alexis de Tocqueville）的洞見無比深刻，亦即，危機時刻或在真正的轉戾點，「過往無法給未來帶來啟示，人心徘徊在晦暗之中。」她認為在這種時刻（此時對她正是），心靈的晦暗就是最清明的指示，指示我們需要重新思考人類責任的意義，以及人類判斷的力量。
