伊恩·裏德（IAIN REID ）加拿大天纔作傢、先鋒編劇，1981年生於渥太華。

伊恩•裏德曾為加拿大廣播公司創作劇本，亦有作品散見於《紐約客》《環球郵報》等報刊。著有非虛構作品《一隻鳥的選擇》《運氣的真相》。其中《運氣的真相》為《環球郵報》2013年年度好書。

《我想結束這一切》是伊恩的首部長篇小說，該書一改他之前輕鬆幽默、淡然暖心的風格，挑戰人們舒適極限，將有關自我歸屬、個體與群體的哲學探討融入黑色幻想中，講述瞭一個分裂、扭麯、極具哥特風的個人悲劇。

"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.
