几十年来,治安官一直打理着一个边陲微型拓居地的事务,对野蛮人与他所效忠的帝国之间迫在眉睫的战争视而不见。然而,当审讯专家的到来打破了平静,他震惊之余对受害者产生了同情,并做出了一场唐吉诃德式的反叛举动,最终身陷囹圄。

Waiting for the Barbarians is a great start. It is a good read + it works as a great analogy that can be brought up when talking to people who let fear run their lives.
……(在我看来)选了个不太靠前的结果作为最佳匹配,搞得我还得去点“查看其他结果”。我记得当时搜的是《血色子午线》(按理说榜首应该显示 Cormac McCarthy)和《等待野蛮人》(J. M. Coetzee)。其次,我不确定把同作者的书排在前面(至少绝不该放在靠前的位置)是否明智。最后,虽然我挺喜欢这 UI 和手写体字体的想法,但我发现……

The searches I remember doing were "Blood Meridian" (should show Cormac McCarthy as top hit and "Waiting for the Barbarians" (J. M. Coetzee). Secondly, I'm not sure if it's sensible to show books by the same author, at least nowhere near the top. Lastly, while I like the UI and the idea of a handwriting-type font, I find…
