WHAT'S

WRONG WITH

AMERICA

受夠她那無情又惡毒的老公馬文，艾瑪．歐哈拉罕索性從後腦門一槍斃了他，接著把馬文埋在夫妻倆位於加州市郊的住家花園內。當她擺脫了舊生活的枷鎖後，自此艾瑪的日常陷入一片混亂之中。然而隔壁那位好管閒事又固執的警察，以及一封來自女兒的信件，關係疏遠的她，此刻正在印度姊妹康復中心陶冶自己的「自我覺醒」；更糟的是，陰魂不散的馬文化成了幽靈，持續對她騷擾糾纏不清。作者藉由日記的形式，描寫艾瑪內心自白，剖析美國當代文化，闡述當前種種看似熟悉，卻又怪異扭曲的美國。

Tired of living with Marvin, her unloving and mean-spirited husband, Emma O'Hallahan shoots him in the back of his head and buries him in the garden of their California suburban home. From then on her daily routine is thrown into turmoil as she abandons the strictures of her old life. But a nosy neighbor, a persistent cop, a letter from her estranged daughter (who cultivates inner awareness at the Indian Sisters Healing Center), and the hungry ghost of Marvin himself combine to drive her to another act of rebellion...and another. What's Wrong with America is Emma's confession: a diary that ranges over contemporary culture, illuminating a landscape that is strangely skewed and all too familiar.

Witty and disturbing, stylish and intelligent, Scott Bradfield's second novel dissects and reconfigures American in a totally original way.
