9. Eimear McBride, The Lesser Bohemians

　　伊弥尔·麦克布莱德《小波西米亚人》

　　McBride wowed the literary world with her first novel, A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing, which won the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction and the first Goldsmiths Prize, among others. McBride writes of her narrator's tentative first roles in student plays, and a year of increasing intimacy with an older actor. As he describes his own childhood, and twisted relationship with his mother, she struggles to tame her own most powerful instincts.

　　麦克布莱德的第一部小说《女孩是半成品》震惊了整个文学界，她获得了百利女性奖(虚构类)和金匠奖等诸多奖项。麦克布莱描写了主人公在学生戏剧中尝试表演的最早的角色，还写到她有一年与一位年长的演员越来越亲密。当他描述自己的童年以及与母亲的病态关系时，她尽力压抑着自己最强烈的本能情感。
