My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan BraithwaiteMy Sister, the Serial Killer is a blackly comic novel about how blood is thicker - and more difficult to get out of the carpet - than water...When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other..."Pulpy, peppery and sinister, served up in a comic deadpan...This scorpion-tailed little thriller leaves a response, and a sting, you will remember."--NEW YORK TIMES"The wittiest and most fun murder party you've ever been invited to."--MARIE CLAIREA short, darkly funny, hand grenade of a novel about a Nigerian woman whose younger sister has a very inconvenient habit of killing her boyfriends"Femi makes three, you know. Three and they label you a serial killer."Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola's third boyfriend in a row is dead.Korede's practicality is the sisters' saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body, and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her "missing" boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit.Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works. She dreams of the day when he will realize that she's exactly what he needs. But when he asks Korede for Ayoola's phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and how far she's willing to go to protect her.Sharp as nails and full of deadpan wit, Oyinkan Braithwaite's deliciously deadly debut is as fun as it is frightening.31岁的尼日利亚裔英国作家奥因坎·布莱斯韦特(Oyinkan Braithwaite),她的黑色喜剧惊悚小说《我的妹妹,连环杀手》(My Sister, the Serial Killer)作为今年女性文学奖的入围作品,讲述了科瑞德(Korede)被要求帮助他的有谋杀男友习惯的小妹妹收拾一堆烂摊子的故事。评委们表示,这是“任何一位优秀小说家应该写出的最巧妙、最犀利、最引人入胜的处女作”,其中充满了“尖锐的致命武器”。菲亚梅塔·罗科(Fiammetta Rocco)在《纽约时报》上写道,“只有在你读完最后一页后,你才会意识到,就像在她之前的许多才华横溢的作家一样,对布莱斯韦特来说,笑可以掩盖痛苦,就像漂白剂可以掩盖血的味道一样。”(搜狐)Working Title拿下尼日利亚作家Oyinkan Braithwaite所著小说《我的妹妹是连环杀手》(My Sister The Serial Killer)的版权,将拍成电影。剧情讲述一位尼日利亚女性Korede的妹妹Ayoola有一种难以启齿的特殊习惯:杀害她的男友们。Ayoola的第三个男友已经死了,她知道清场的最佳方案,她的车后备箱足够大,可以装下尸体。Korede与医生同事发展了新恋情,她梦想着两人的美好生活。突然有一天Ayoola来到医院,引起了Korede男友的注意,他随后找Korede要Ayoola的电话,三人之间的情感相互纠缠。Nira Park&Rachael Prior(《极盗车神》《街区大作战》)担任制片人,目前还未确定编剧。(豆瓣)扫码下载英语电子书/音频
