内容简介
《表演者》是陆茵茵的短篇小说集，收录了近五年（2018—2023）创作的十二篇短篇小说。本书主要处理这样一个问题：我如何成为我？它指向过去，也指向未来，同样一个人，能否穿透庸常生活，不被模式化的惯性束缚，找到自己，确立自己，放下自己，成为一个真的人？
这个想成为真人的人，在十二个故事中穿行，游历，接受生命和他人暴雨的冲击。在《母亲说》中，母亲以爱为名要挟她，企图将她捏成她不是的样子；在《安迪哇猴儿》中，敞开的心扉瞬间关闭；在《纸牌》里，他无法接受自己只是一个普通人；在《表演者》中，他看不清别人身上似有若无的表演性；在《金》里，她承受强势人格暴力的挤压；在《地下室》里，她面对心爱之物终将化为齑粉的失落感……
这些小说看似把目光投向日常生活，书写居于其中的凡人凡事，却非简单地复刻现实。作者以独特的感受力和想象力潜入无意识幽深的海底，为晦暗不明、少被描述的不可言说之物——情绪、精神、气氛赋形。她想按下每个人身上都存在的那个按钮，问自己也问读者，怎么改变？怎么转化？怎么成为一个真的人？

Content introduction
The Performer is a collection of short stories written by Lu Yin Yin in the last five years (2018-2023). This book deals with the question: How do I become me? It points to the past, but also to the future, the same person, can penetrate the ordinary life, not be bound by the inertia of the mold, find themselves, establish themselves, put down their own, become a real person?
The man who wants to be a real person, travels through twelve stories, receives the onslaught of life and the torrential rain of others. In Mother Says, her mother threatens her in the name of love, trying to make her look like something she is not. In "Andy the Monkey," open hearts are closed; In "Cards," he can't accept that he's just a human being; In "The Performer," he fails to see the seeming performability in others; In "Kim," she suffers the crushing force of a powerful personality; In The Basement, she confronts the loss that something she loves will crumble to dust...
These novels seem to look at everyday life and write about the ordinary people who inhabit it, but they do not simply reproduce reality. With unique sensibility and imagination, the author dives into the depths of the unconscious and gives shape to the ineffable things that are obscure and rarely described - emotions, spirits, and atmospheres. She wants to press the button that exists in everyone, asking herself and the reader, how to change? How to convert? How to be a real person?
