内容简介 Book Description
There’s more than one way to take a life….
It was not until their first date that Bridger Martin learned that Dana Halter’s deafness was profound and permanent. By then he was falling in love. Now she is in a courtroom, accused of assault with a deadly weapon, auto theft, and passing bad checks, among other things. As Dana and Bridger eventually learn, William “Peck” Wilson has stolen Dana’s identity and has been living a blameless life of criminal excess at her expense. And as they set out to find him, they begin to test to its very limits the life they have begun to build together.
Both a suspenseful chase across America and a moving story about language, love, and identity, Talk Talk is a masterful, mind-bending novel from one of America’s most versatile and entertaining writers.

1. “Talk Talk stands out as nothing short of an uncomfortable masterpiece as simultaneously overwhelming, treacherous, beautiful and boiling over with hellacious revelation as its ultimate subject: life in twentieth-century America.”
-----------Los Angeles Times
2. “His most exciting novel yet….Boyle knows how to drill down through the surface of everyday life into our core anxieties, and he knows how to write constantly charging, heart-thumping chase scenes.”
-----------The Washington Post
