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.

评分一次愉快的阅读体验
评分首推Ari Fliakos的有声书 每一个角色都有自己独特的声线。politics family love friendship business gay/lesbian child abuse畅销书的元素一应俱全 作者想用各个角色反映大时代下小人物的复杂内心 然而联系却很松散 比如Pwnage跟Laura Potsdam的部分纵然诙谐也极具现实意义但跟主题的联系脆弱不堪一击 Faye的人格跟盲人摸象的关系也很牵强。说烂尾的盆友们给作者一个自我剖白的机会也没什么错吧。出版时间对应美国大选时机简直不要更精准！！
