商品簡介
Now in a beautiful new edition. A landmark collaboration between two award-winning talents—a modern fable for adults that touches on privilege, compassion, and the power of community, told with George Saunders’s trademark humor and pathos, and enchantingly illustrated by Lane Smith.
The village of Frip has always been plagued by gappers - bright orange, multi-eyed parasites that prevent the town goats from producing milk. The gappers used to be everyone’s problem, until one day they get a little smarter and decide to focus their attention on a single house, where a girl named Capable lives with her widowed father. Fortunately, she’s pretty clever.
When misfortune falls to one person, will the others rally to help her, or will they look the other way and force her to bear the suffering alone?
“We all live in this book’s world of Frip—and are connected to others in that world, no matter their nature, so we’re prompted to remember by a talented writer.”—Robert Coles
