Lisko’s American Life

Lisko teased a few words on the phone, and he was also in a happy mood. With such a huge farm, he never knew where to start. Now that a familiar childhood friend came to help him, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Going downstairs, eating a sandwich made by Jasmine and ham, and drinking a glass of milk, Lisko also felt full of energy.

He came to the study, opened the notebook, and looked at the words "Welcome to the writer li" in the startup animation. Lisko was also a little surprised by Apple's sincerity.

Opening the document, Lisko put his hands on his chin, thinking about how to start his new book.

His first two books have made him famous in the world of literature, but the time is still short, he has just touched the top of the circle, and now he needs a book that can help him stand firm. Let his background increase again.

After thinking for a long time, he reached out and typed the title of the book "The Catcher in the Rye".

Holden is a 16-year-old boy from the wealthy middle class. After being expelled from school for the fourth time, he did not dare to go home rashly. He wandered for a day and two nights in New York City, the most prosperous city in the United States, living in a small inn. Going to nightclubs, having promiscuous girlfriends, drinking too much... He saw all the ugliness of capitalist society and met all kinds of characters, most of them "fake models" hypocrites.

Holden can hardly see what is happening around him. He even wants to escape from this real world and go to the backcountry to pretend to be a deaf and dumb person, but it is impossible to do so. As a result, he can only live in Among the contradictions: he hated movies the most in his life, but he had to spend time in the movie theater when he was bored; he hated **** without love, but he called prostitutes in a confused way; he hated his vain and vulgar girlfriend Sally, But he was infatuated with her beauty, and couldn't help hugging her.

Therefore, although he is not used to the world, he has to feel depressed and panic, comfort himself with all kinds of unrealistic fantasies, deceive himself, and finally compromise with the real society and cannot become a real rebellion. This can be said to be Holden's where the tragedy lies.

This book has a high status in the literary world. Anger and anxiety are the two major themes of this book. The audience is teenagers and can resonate with them.

Lisko's first two books were both aimed at adults. This time, starting with teenagers, he can expand his influence and stabilize his status, and the literary quality of this book can also bring him rewards in terms of awards.

After Lisko made up his mind, his fingers were flying. Thanks to the favor of time travel, he also read many world famous novels when he was a young literary man, and now he recalls every word and sentence very clearly.

Soon, the time passed in the enrichment of the code words. Lisko looked at the progress and found that one-fifth of it was completed. After all, he was a copywriter, so he didn't need to think too much.

He stretched his waist, stretched his muscles and bones, and was ready to go out for a walk. Various diseases in his previous life had taught him a lesson. Good health is the capital of everything, but he is still very satisfied with his current 22-year-old body.

He walked downstairs slowly, poured a glass of warm water, and saw Jasmine busy on the side of the yard.

"Hey. Jasmine, what are you doing?"

Jasmine turned around, sweat stained on her forehead, "Boss, I'm growing some greens, lettuce, and carrots. I'm done."

Lisko saw that there was really nothing to help, so he got up and went to the garage, picked up the options, drove a Chevrolet SUV, and went to town.

In the town, the tavern was still so lively, Li Ke met a bunch of greetings as soon as he opened the door.

"Hey, Mark Twain."

"Welcome back, little cowboy."

"Li, do you need a cowboy?"

A bunch of middle-aged American men with big belly opened their mouths one after another.

Lisko waved to the surroundings.

"Everyone, a glass of beer per person, I'll treat you."

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

When the drunkards heard it, they clapped the table, and Scoo wanted to shake his legs when he heard this rhythm.

Maggie laughed and scolded, and then served glasses of beer.

Then she first picked up a glass and handed it to Lisko, and then raised it herself.

"Respect Litham."

The bar suddenly became quiet, and everyone raised their glasses.

"Respect Tum."

Lisko drank it with everyone. Maggie's beer was brewed with wheat from Bo's farm. It was slightly bitter, but unexpectedly mellow. I heard that it was inherited from Maggie's father's craftsmanship. Her father Back then, they secretly brewed wine on the west coast for those gold diggers.

Maggie invited Lisko to come and sit at the bar, poured another glass of wine for Lisko, "Sko, thank you for giving the rooster a job."

Lisko replied quickly, "No, no, I want to thank him for helping me. You know, if he didn't help me, I might not have the confidence to run the ranch."

"Beau always regarded him as a child, afraid that he would break his reins. He always regarded his child as a cow in the pasture. So Colt was always reluctant to come back."

Lisko didn't know how to reply to this kind of family matter, so he had to raise a glass to toast Maggie.

After chatting with the alcoholics for a while at the bar, Lisko got up and went out to the pet shop in the town. Today, he plans to buy a pet and go back home. Living alone is a bit lonely.

The pet industry in the United States is very developed, and you can buy all kinds of pets here. And many Americans consider pets their family.

Lisko pushed open the door and saw Gorley busy at a glance. This is his junior high school classmate and Colt's first love.

"Gori."

Gorley raised her head and suddenly smiled,

"Look who this is, the great writer Mark Twain, I heard that you are back, how is it, has the town changed a lot?"

Lisko shrugged, "Nothing has changed, it's still so quiet, life is so slow, people are enjoying life, unlike in the city, white-collar workers who run with bags are the most common."

Gorley came over and hugged him, "I heard you plan to settle here?"

"Of course, my ancestors are here. Have you been in touch with Colt recently?"

Goli's eyes suddenly dimmed, "I'm getting married soon, the last time I contacted him was two years ago, I heard that he was about to enter the first team, and then I read the news that he had a fight and was expelled from the club, so there is no news. "

Lisko quickly changed the subject, "Are you going to get married? When?"

Gorley smiled, "It will take a few more months. We just discussed and decided to get married."

"Wow, very happy, what does he do?"

"A lawyer." Gorley looked happy, "He works at the Da Schenck Law Firm."

Lisko blessed her, "I'm here today to choose a pet. You know, I live alone and I'm always a little lonely."

When it comes to her major, Goli started to get serious, "What do you like?"

"I want a dog. Be nice."

Goli thought for a while, then UU read www.uukanshu.com walked into the kennel and chose a small black and silver dog.

"This is a Schnauzer, a German dog, a cross between a German poodle and a Wirehaired Doberman flat dog, best suited to the farmer, he was bred for nurseries and rat traps, healthy, intelligent, loyal , no hair loss, no body odor."

Lisko was a little satisfied as soon as he heard that there was no hair loss. He took a closer look and saw that the dog had a very cool appearance, with **** eyes that looked very lively, with the same ears, with pointed horns pointing upwards.

Lisko thought for a while, "It's called McGonagall."

As soon as Gorley heard it, he started packing. Lisko then picked out the dog food, the reins, the kennel, and the dog manual that Gorley wrote to him. After paying five hundred dollars, Lisko got his wish and hugged Mag. In his arms ready to go home.

On the way back, Lisko swayed while playing music, Mag looked around, looking a little confused when he was still young.

Lisko got home, prepared the kennel and dog food, and gave him a bowl of warm water. Golly specifically explained that he could not be fed milk and meat for the first two months.

Mag had just been born for more than a month. He sniffed the dog food in the rice bowl, and soon began to eat it happily. Lisko touched his soft head, and he was in a much better mood. He felt that the future life should be happy. a little.

After working on Mag's business, Lisko went back upstairs and continued to work hard to code words. The full text of the book "The Catcher in the Rye" is only 160,000 words. He plans to finish it in the next few days, and he has already written part of it. I also sent it to my literary agent, who contacted Random House for publication. The specific royalties were also negotiated by them. The literary agent was also responsible for all kinds of copyright authorizations for writers. Lisko felt that this was much more convenient than doing it himself. , pay only a small percentage of the commission.
