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.

读后感
你最爱的事情会无情伤害你。因为你对最爱的事情不坦诚。你不坦诚的那方面不断的增加黑天鹅事件的几率知道有一天爆发。如果继续走一条看似简单的路只能让你一次又一次的割裂。 全书从60-70%进入高潮。可能是文化差异和自我知识的单薄，发生在1968年的历史事件毫无铺垫。倒是家庭...
评分 评分刚刚开始看，作者描写的很贴合实际。比如萨缪尔父母因生活琐碎的对吵，萨缪尔对暗恋的心理活动和表现，都很传神。还有一段描写美国高速公路出口处的汽车加塞，都很活灵活现。 是一本了解美国当今社会生活的书，通过阅读，你可以了解到如今美国社会的一些玩法。比如让公司破产后...

评分If you make the easy choice every day, then it becomes a pattern, and your patterns become your life.
评分读完后又去看了三段Nathan Hill签书巡回的座谈访问，The Nix花了他用三年时间写，六年时间做research，他说Pwnage其实是跟自己研究生毕业后去纽约的一段生活相关。当初拿着自己的作品（还没开始写The Nix) 到处碰壁， 因为纽约本来作家就满地开花。在Queens跟11个老爷们儿挤着住。有一次因为搬家，临时把家当包括电脑，还有装满作品备份的硬盘都锁在车后备箱， 结果发现下班回来后都被盗。 一时心灰意冷开始打魔兽(是真的， 魔兽！） 颓废了好一整子。 后来就理所当然写了这么个人物。 加之自己正职是大学大一大二写作课老师， 难免现实中会遇到像Laura的那种学生。 Faye呢，取材于他妈，但他跟他妈本身关系很好并没谁抛弃谁。
评分既想下一盘大棋，又不愿放弃精雕细琢，看上去是一只大火鸡结果只是一盘鸡肋。美帝畅销书真是浪费读者生命。
评分4.7 很是幽默 就连结尾部分我都笑出两次来，也很能break it down的说故事方式，虽说600多页 也是一周下来下班后回来看再加个周末能解决的好读的故事。我一般给分都是0.5一个区别 但是这回真的就差那么点点就可以给5分啦 还是不错的
