Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk is a devastating portrait of our time, a searing and powerful novel that cements Ben Fountain's reputation as one of the finest writers of his generation.

A ferocious firefight with Iraqi insurgents at "the battle of Al-Ansakar Canal"—three minutes and forty-three seconds of intense warfare caught on tape by an embedded Fox News crew—has transformed the eight surviving men of Bravo Squad into America's most sought-after heroes. For the past two weeks, the Bush administration has sent them on a media-intensive nationwide Victory Tour to reinvigorate public support for the war. Now, on this chilly and rainy Thanksgiving, the Bravos are guests of America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys, slated to be part of the halftime show alongside the superstar pop group Destiny's Child.

Among the Bravos is the Silver Star–winning hero of Al-Ansakar Canal, Specialist William Lynn, a nineteen-year-old Texas native. Amid clamoring patriots sporting flag pins on their lapels and Support Our Troops bumper stickers on their cars, the Bravos are thrust into the company of the Cowboys' hard-nosed businessman/owner and his coterie of wealthy colleagues; a luscious born-again Cowboys cheerleader; a veteran Hollywood producer; and supersized pro players eager for a vicarious taste of war. Among these faces Billy sees those of his family—his worried sisters and broken father—and Shroom, the philosophical sergeant who opened Billy's mind and died in his arms at Al-Ansakar.

Over the course of this day, Billy will begin to understand difficult truths about himself, his country, his struggling family, and his brothers-in-arms—soldiers both dead and alive. In the final few hours before returning to Iraq, Billy will drink and brawl, yearn for home and mourn those missing, face a heart-wrenching decision, and discover pure love and a bitter wisdom far beyond his years.

刚刚结束的美国总统大选,在中国的围观人群中,也引发了一场知识和思想的辩论。一个国家、社会、民众的最细微、最典型的表现,在文学作品中往往能体现得淋漓尽致。文学作品没有政论文章那么快速,但文学作品以幽微的曲折,达到的深度却是一时的政论文章所达不到的。 通过阅读...

“世上没有完美的事物,唯有这样一些透明得让你忘记自己的时刻,能拥有这样的一瞬,便是天赐的幸福。”这么一句看似不起眼的话,夹杂在比利千头万绪的心潮起伏里,却拥有狠狠击中我的力道,甚至可以视之为这部《漫长的中场休息》之微型总结。这样的一瞬就是比利最孤独的魂游天...

电影《比利·林恩的中场战事》一经确定由李安执导后就备受关注,这也是李安继《少年派的奇幻漂流》之后的最新作品,何况还有《贫民窟的百万富翁》编剧西蒙·博福伊加持,当然,最引人注目的还是超乎想象的革新技术,所谓“Immersive Digital”(沉浸式数字化)——3D,4K,每秒...
