<p>《牽繩、愛與謊言》作者：Marianne Middelveen</p>
<p>在《牽繩、愛與謊言》中，作者 Marianne Middelveen 以疫情的緊張局勢為背景，描繪了一場家庭危機，涵蓋了秘密情事、獸醫緊急情況，以及涉及一隻獵犬、一隻鬥牛犬混血和一隻心愛的家貓的不幸事件，最終以一場撕裂社區的暴力行為告終。她對疫情生活的壓力進行了社會評論，展示了共同的壓力如何導致婚姻破裂和社區衝突，同時突顯了伴侶動物在穩定主人情緒方面所扮演的情感角色。</p>
<p>“疫情迫使我們孤立，使我們的寵物成為我們主要的傾訴對象。我想探討這種強烈的共同生活如何放大我們的人性缺陷——我們的不忠、我們的偏見、我們的孤獨——在我們寵物純粹、無條件的愛的背景下，” Middelveen 説。“我們與動物之間無條件的紐帶是我們高度有條件的人際關係最鋒利的鏡子。”</p>
<p>Middelveen 以其科學研究和微生物學背景而聞名，她曾處理與萊姆病及相關皮膚病 Morgellons 病相關的爭議。她的工作曾出現在包括《皮膚深處：關於 Morgellons 的鬥爭》、《NBC Left Field》、《未解之謎》和《我們的皮膚 2：出現》在內的紀錄片中。</p>
<p>“作為一名科學家，我尋找模式，在寫這部小説時，我看到了一個深刻的模式，” Middelveen 説，“即使人類社會失敗，我們與伴侶動物之間的忠誠依然是一個恆定的、穩定的力量。這就是故事最終找到其核心的地方。”</p>

<p><em>Author weaves neighbor's lives together and then unravels a web of infidelity, class prejudice, and escalating disputes, all observed and influenced by their canine companions</em></p>

</div><p>, /PRNewswire/ -- It's June 2021, and as the COVID pandemic rages on, the residents of Woodview Terraces in Calgary are doing their best to cope with the uncertainty and lockdowns. It's a quiet neighborhood that's been divided into two parts: one for the wealthy and one for the less fortunate. With more time on their hands, the residents have switched their focus from socializing and commuting to working from home, gardening and adopting dogs. But there is only one problem: their shared interest in dogs has not only united them but also created unforeseen conflicts. As case numbers decline and the economy surges to life again, neighborhood gossip and unexpected canine escalates discord between the neighbors, resulting in a tragedy that changes everything.</p>

<p>“Leashes, Love, and Lies” by Marianne Middelveen</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>《牽繩、愛與謊言》作者：Marianne Middelveen</p>
</div><p>In &#34;Leashes, Love, and Lies,&#34; author Marianne Middelveen relies on the tension of the pandemic as the stage for a domestic crisis that encompasses secret affairs, veterinary emergencies, and an unfortunate series of events involving a hunting dog, a pit bull mix, and a beloved house cat, ultimately culminating in an act of violence that tears the community apart. She creates a social commentary on the pressures of pandemic life, illustrating how shared stress can lead to fractured marriages and community strife, while simultaneously highlighting the emotional role companion animals play in grounding their owners.</p>

</div><p>&#34;The pandemic forced us into isolation, making our pets our primary confidantes. I wanted to explore how that intense, shared existence magnified our human flaws—our infidelity, our prejudices, our loneliness—against the backdrop of our pets' pure, unconditional love,&#34; said Middelveen. &#34;The unconditional bond we share with our animals serves as the sharpest mirror for our own highly conditional human relationships.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“疫情迫使我們孤立，使我們的寵物成為我們主要的傾訴對象。我想探討這種強烈的共同生活如何放大我們的人性缺陷——我們的不忠、我們的偏見、我們的孤獨——在我們寵物純粹、無條件的愛的背景下，” Middelveen 説。“我們與動物之間無條件的紐帶是我們高度有條件的人際關係最鋒利的鏡子。”</p>
</div><p>Middelveen is otherwise known for her scientific research and background in microbiology where she has tackled controversies surrounding Lyme disease and the associated skin condition, Morgellons disease. Her work has been featured in documentaries including: Skin Deep: The Battle over Morgellons, NBC Left Field, The Unexplained Files, and Under Our Skin 2: Emergence.</p>

</div><p>&#34;As a scientist, I look for patterns, and in writing this novel, I saw a profound pattern,&#34; said Middelveen, &#34;even when human society fails, the fidelity we share with our companion animals remains a constant, grounding force. That is where the story ultimately finds its heart.&#34;</p>
