伊恩·里德（IAIN REID ）加拿大天才作家、先锋编剧，1981年生于渥太华。

伊恩•里德曾为加拿大广播公司创作剧本，亦有作品散见于《纽约客》《环球邮报》等报刊。著有非虚构作品《一只鸟的选择》《运气的真相》。其中《运气的真相》为《环球邮报》2013年年度好书。

《我想结束这一切》是伊恩的首部长篇小说，该书一改他之前轻松幽默、淡然暖心的风格，挑战人们舒适极限，将有关自我归属、个体与群体的哲学探讨融入黑色幻想中，讲述了一个分裂、扭曲、极具哥特风的个人悲剧。

"I'm Thinking of Ending Things is one of the best debut novels I've ever read. Iain Reid has crafted a tight, ferocious little book, with a persistent tenor of suspense that tightens and mounts toward its visionary, harrowing final pages" (Scott Heim, award-winning author of Mysterious Skin and We Disappear).

You will be scared. But you won’t know why…

I’m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It’s always there. Always.

Jake once said, “Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought.”

And here’s what I’m thinking: I don’t want to be here.

In this smart, suspenseful, and intense literary thriller, debut novelist Iain Reid explores the depths of the human psyche, questioning consciousness, free will, the value of relationships, fear, and the limitations of solitude. Reminiscent of Jose Saramago’s early work, Michel Faber’s cult classic Under the Skin, and Lionel Shriver’s We Need to Talk about Kevin, I’m Thinking of Ending Things is an edgy, haunting debut. Tense, gripping, and atmospheric, this novel pulls you in from the very first page…and never lets you go.
