Beartown Trilogy 3: a Winner's Funeral
General Fiction熊镇三部曲3:一个赢家的葬礼
(sweden) Frederic Backman
After the storm, a young man with a big bear tattoo on his arm and a young woman with guitar and shotgun tattoos will return to their long-lost hometown of Bear Town to attend the funeral of a winner. The man's name is Benji. He is the hero of this small town and the traitor who is called a sissy by all the fans. He looks like a teenager who has climbed to the tallest tree and carries the biggest secret on his shoulders. He is the most dangerous man on the ice and the loneliest man on the face of the earth. The tone in which people spoke about coming out seemed to imply that it only had to be done once, but Benji knew that with someone there, it would never be over. You just have to keep coming out and coming out again until you're knocked down. The woman's name is Maya, and it has been two and a half years since she was raped by Kevin, the star of hope in the town. That event started everything, and her story changed two hockey clubs, impacted politics, and shook an entire town and half a forest to its foundations. The rape lasted only a few minutes for Kevin, but it was endless for her. Most people can never pinpoint the exact moment when they stopped being a child, but Maya could. All the hidden and ignored stories will be rediscovered; traps, problems, and malicious jokes will reappear; the standards of justice, the price of friendship, and the choices of life will all come to the fore, and violence, blood, and love will appear one after another, a pistol, a storm, a person rushing to the fire, a game that can never be started; a first love, a second chance, and a last farewell. In a dark forest, young men wearing different colored clothes will engage in a life-or-death fight. The people we love deeply will eventually die.

Bear Town
General Fiction熊镇
(sweden) Frederic Backman
Bear Town is a small town, which is remote and lonely, with long winters and a lot of snow. The people in the town know how to be silent and patient. Bear Town is a small town, an ice hockey stadium, several families, a bar, a forest, a boy and a girl, a group of boys and several girls, a group of men and a group of women. It is quiet. It broke out one night when a girl's shirt was torn and a button fell to the floor. How should we live? How to love? How to win? How to protect that precious thing? How to choose and be a better person? This is a small town, but this is a whole world. There are many people here, but in the end you only read about yourself.
