Rate this book
这是一个存在双生人的世界,他们身体里有两个灵魂,共享一个身体。单魂人不允许双魂人的存在,认为他们会危害社会。所以,在双生人很小的时候,他们会通过治疗“解决”掉一个灵魂,这样他们就会被社会接受,过上正常的生活。但是,被“解决”掉的灵魂就没有生存的权利了吗?灵魂的抹杀就不是谋杀了吗?不,谁也没有权利决定一个灵魂的归宿。这是一个为生存、为自由抗争的冒险故事。美国销量过百万的科幻小说,一人双魂的奇妙世界一个强烈渴望认可的新颖故事;技艺娴熟,描述栩栩如生。——LissaPrice令人震惊的du家故事重新定义了人类的含义。——LaurenDestefano献给我的母亲与父亲,感谢他们教给我关于生活的一切。——凯特·张序言艾迪和我出生在同一个躯体中,在我们俩张大嘴巴喘第一口气之前,我们的灵魂意识就像魔鬼的手指般纠缠在一起。早年间在一起的时光也是我们最快乐的时光。后来,人们就有了各种担忧——父母的嘴角绷得紧紧的,幼儿园老师常常对我们皱起眉头,所有的人在自以为我们听不见的时候都会悄声互相询问:她们怎么还没有解决?解决。我们试图用五岁的嘴去说这个词,用我们的舌头品尝它的味道。Ji-e-jue我们知道它是什么意思。多少知道一点。它意味着我们当中的一个要拥有完全的掌控力。它意味着另一个要渐渐消失。现在,我知道它的意思远比这些要多得多。可五岁的艾迪和我那时还很天真,很没心没肺。天真的表象如同一层清漆,在我们上一年级之前开始逐渐剥落。我们那位头发花白的教学顾问是第一个动手刮漆的人。“你们知道,亲爱的,解决这件事并不可怕,”她说这话的时候我们俩正盯着她那涂满口红的薄嘴唇,“可能就像现在一样,不过,每个人最终都会有那一下的。衰退的那个,不管是你们俩当中的谁,只不过就是……睡了。”她绝口不提她认为谁会活下来,但事实上,她也不必说。到了一年级的时候,每个人都认为艾迪与生俱来占了上风。她能够在我想向右去的时候把我们俩移到左边,在我想吃东西的时候拒绝张嘴,在我歇斯底里想说是的时候哭喊着不。这一切她只需稍稍努力都能做到。随着时间流逝,我变得越来越弱,而她却日益掌控了一切。但偶尔,我也能为自己挤出一条路来——真的。当妈妈问我们今天过得怎么样时,我鼓足全身的力气告诉她我的想法。玩藏猫猫的时候,我把我们俩藏在篱笆后面而不是跑回家里的地下室。八岁那年,给爸爸端咖啡的时候,我让我们俩猛地来了个大动作。那烫伤在我俩的手上留下了疤痕。我的力气越削弱,我越是要疯狂地挣扎,想要挺下去,用任何我能想到的方式恣意胡作非为,竭力想让自己相信,我不会消失。艾迪为此恨透了我。可我无法克制自己。我记得曾经拥有过的自由——当然,从来不是完整的自由,可我依然记得曾经的时光。那时,我还能向妈妈要一杯水,或者,在我们摔倒时向她要一个拥抱。撒手吧,伊娃。每次我们争斗的时候艾迪总会这样大叫。得了,滚开。这样过了很久,直到有一天,我觉得,我是该撒手了。六岁时我们见到了我俩的第一位专科医生。专科医生们比教学顾问更粗鲁专断,他们做点小测试,问点小问题,然后就要收取一笔不小的费用。等弟弟们到了需要“解决”的年龄时,艾迪和我已经经历了两位临床医生和四种类型的药物治疗,而这一切都是为了试图做自然法则本该做的事:

Kat Zhang spent most of her childhood tramping through a world weaved from her favorite stories and games. When she and her best friend weren't riding magic horses or talking to trees, they were writing adaptations of plays for their stuffed animals (what would The Wizard of Oz have been like if the Cowardly Lion were replaced by a Loquacious Lamb?). This may or may not explain many of Kat's quirks today.

By the age of twelve, Kat had started her first novel and begun plans for her life as a Real Live Author (she was rather more confident at twelve than she is even now). Said plans didn't come into fruition until seven years later, when her agent sold her Young Adult trilogy, The Hybrid Chronicles, to HarperCollins. The series, about a parallel universe where everyone is born with two souls, concluded in 2014.

Her two upcoming Middle Grade novels will be released in 2017 and 2018 with Simon & Schuster. The first, The Emperor's Riddle, is about hidden treasure, lost aunts, and China. The second, The Memory of Forgotten Things, is about parallel universes (again), solar eclipses, and misfit children.

Kat is represented by Emmanuelle Morgen of Stonesong. She also contributes to Pub(lishing) Crawl, a site for aspiring writers to talk about books, storytelling craft, and the publishing process.
