珍•汉夫•科尔利兹的《情节》是一部心理悬疑小说,讲述了一个好到无人可以偷走,但却被作者本人偷来呈现给读者的故事。
雅各布•芬奇•邦纳曾经是一位前途无量的年轻小说家,出版第一本书时他也是受人尊敬的。如今,他在一个三等艺术硕士项目中任教,努力维持着仅存的自尊;他已经多年没有动笔写过----更不用说出版——任何像样的作品。当他最傲慢的学生埃文•帕克告诉他不需要自己的帮助,因为其正在创作的书的‘情节’是一气呵成,而雅克布则把这个吹嘘当作典型的业余者自恋。但后来……他听到了这个情节。
雅克布想到了自己事业的下坡路,并为埃文•帕克第一本小说的出版做好了准备,但这个出版却始终没有到来。当他发现他以前的学生已经去世,大概没有完成这本书,雅克布做了任何一个有自尊心的作家都会做的事情——因为这样一个故事绝对需要被人所知。
短短几年,埃文•帕克的所有预言都实现了,但雅克布却成为了享受这些红利的作者。他很有钱,很有名,受到了赞誉,全世界都在读他的书。就在他辉煌的新生活达到顶峰时,一封电子邮件闯入,上面写道:你是个小偷。
当雅克布努力调查着背后的对手,并向他的读者和出版商隐瞒真相时,他也开始尝试去了解更多关于他已故的学生,而他发现的东西让他惊讶又害怕。埃文•帕克是谁,他又是如何想到要写一部“有把握”的小说的?剧情背后的真实故事是什么,又是谁偷了谁的东西?

媒体评论
"As a longtime fan of Korelitz’s novels (including ‘You Should Have Known,’ which was made into HBO’s ‘The Undoing’), I will say that I think ‘The Plot’ is her gutsiest, most consequential book yet." – Elisabeth Egan, New York Times
“The plot of ‘The Plot’ is so ingenious that it should be assigned as required reading in the very MFA programs it pinions, both as a model of superior narrative construction and as a warning of the grim realities of the literary life to naive wannabe writers.” – Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post
“‘The Plot’ is wickedly funny and chillingly grim, and like the novel Evan hoped to create, it deserves to garner all the brass rings.” – Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal
“The Plot is one of the best novels I’ve ever read about writers and writing. It’s also insanely readable and the suspense quotient is through the roof. It’s remarkable.” – Stephen King
"The Plot is so well-crafted and compelling it’s nearly impossible to put down. Clever and chilling, this page-turner grabs you from the first chapter and doesn’t let you go until its startling, breath-taking conclusion." ― Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, New York Times bestselling authors of The Wife Between Us
“Deep character development, an impressively thick tapestry of intertwining story lines, and a candid glimpse into the publishing business make this a page-turner of the highest order. Korelitz deserves acclaim for her own perfect plot.” ―Publishers Weekly (STARRED Review)
"From its first pages, Jean Hanff Korelitz’s The Plot ensnares you in a rich tangle of literary vanities, treachery and fraud. Psychologically acute and breathtakingly suspenseful, you’ll find yourself rushing towards a finale both astonishing and utterly earned." - Megan Abbott, Edgar Award-winning author of Give Me Your Hand
“[A] propulsive tale of deceit and betrayal” – O Magazine
“[A] wickedly clever tale of stolen genius.” – LitHub
“[A] satisfyingly twisty thriller… Gripping and thoroughly unsettling: This one will be flying off the shelves.” – Kirkus
"Jean Hanff Korelitz’s riveting novel is a story within a story that is a Rubik’s Cube of twists. Jake Finch Bonner is living a life he never expected. Instead of fame and fortune, this once-promising young author is teaching MFA seminars at an obscure university and barely making ends meet. Then abrasive, self-important Evan Parker arrives in Jake’s class with a one-of-a-kind plot that he’s confident will rocket him into the kind of success and stardom enjoyed by few in the literary world. And once Jake hears that story, he knows Evan is right, and Jake’s jealousy and self-pity are palpable. But Evan Parker doesn’t publish that book—Jake Bonner does. And someone knows whose plot he stole. Korelitz’s psychological thriller keeps the reader guessing even when the answers seem clear, and when the final piece clicks into place, what you see is the last thing you’d expect." — Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review
“Korelitz, author of the smash-hit You Should Have Known (2014), effortlessly deconstructs the campus novel and, much like Michael Chabon in Wonder Boys (1995), acerbically mocks the publishing industry. Fearless Korelitz presents a wry and unusual joyride of a thriller full of gasp-inducing twists as it explores copyright, ownership, and the questionable morals of writers.” – Booklist
“Not every 350-page novel can be torn through in a weekend, but readers may find themselves batting away sleep and setting an alarm for early the next day to continue Jean Hanff Korelitz’s propulsive literary thriller, The Plot…The Plot is an ingenious piece of storytelling…Korelitz is an audacious writer who delivers on her promises. Her next big-screen adaptation surely awaits.” – BookPage
"Fans of slow-burn, character-driven thrillers will enjoy this story of an author who has a secret he is desperately trying to keep." – Library Journal
“To say the end of the story is a real twist would be a huge understatement and certainly an ending that was not expected. The Plot is hard to put down and worth the (short) time it takes to read it.” – Judith Reveal, New York Journal of Books
“a droll, elegantly written satirical moan about the vexations and temptations of the struggling writer’s life”
“it’s smart, surprising and stealthily unsettling” reviewed in The Sunday Times
BBC Radio 4 Open Book interview
Chris Power talks to the author behind TV hit The Undoing, Jean Hanff Korelitz, about her latest book, The Plot.
Financial Times review (attached)
“Hanff Korelitz, a veteran of the literary and academic scenes herself, knows how to make them acutely funny.”
“Both a witty satire of the writing and publishing world with much insider knowledge and a tense thriller about jealousy and retribution, this unputdownable read has echoes of Gillian Flynn, Patricia Highsmith and Stephen King, with a surfeit of suspense and characters with secrets, as well as being a true to life X-ray of the way writers’ minds work and, having not read Jean Hanff Korelitz’s earlier books, took me by complete surprise. And yes: the stolen plot twist at the core of the story does come as a major surprise!” Crime Time
“A literary thriller to keep you awake on summer nights.” Metro 4* review
