The Bird's Nest pdf 雪莉·杰克逊
Immersed in a life of quiet monotony, Elizabeth, a demure twenty-three-year-old, finds herself ensnared in the humdrum routine of a lackluster museum job. She resides with her neurotic aunt and subsists on the inheritance left by her deceased mother. Yet, as migraines and backaches assail her, Elizabeth's aunt seeks medical help, embarking on a journey that leads them from doctors to psychiatrists. However, in the chilling style that is unmistakably Jackson's, a chilling revelation unfolds—Elizabeth is not just a singular entity but a fragmented amalgamation of four distinct and self-destructive personalities.
Shirley Jackson's third novel, "The Bird's Nest," delves into the unsettling terrain that defines her as a master of horror. It unearths tormented heroines, intricate familial enigmas, and a disconcerting glimpse into the labyrinthine depths of the human psyche.
