P100: 现在的酒后私语是他个人的了,这是从他那井然有序的记忆中传来的低声耳语,不会再诱发任何惶恐不安。去拜访那位律师,去探视那栋废弃的房子,于他而言便是触动了那些不该触动的东西,要安然地触碰它们,除非是在记忆中,在那里,一切都将永存,一切都不会改变。 ...

William Trevor is truly a Chekhov for our age, and a new collection of stories from him is always a cause for celebration. In these twelve stories, a waiter divulges a shocking life of crime to his ex-wife; a woman repeats the story of her parentsa unstable marriage after a horrible tragedy; a schoolgirl regrets gossiping about the cuckolded man who tutors her; and, in the volumeas title story, a middle-aged accountant offers his reasons for ending a love affair. At the heart of this stunning collection is Trevoras characteristic tenderness and unflinching eye for both the humanizing and dehumanizing aspects of modern urban and rural life.
偷情当然应该静的,于是你从他们极力克制的动静,看得到他们面临分手也极度隐忍克制,一个过激的表情都不曾出现;话少到两个重复的alright都会留有莫大的想象空间。但静也不全是偷偷的,还有彼此之间的熟稔和深爱,一个掏口袋找烟的举动设计地极妙,看不见实情,摸不到,没有气味,无声响,足够体现。分手不是因为不爱,爱还在,但小于彼此的痛苦。最后的分别,橱窗前的倒影也不曾留恋,都藏在 delicacy of their reticence里。

评分The world, not she, had failed.
评分Unspoken, understood, their rules of love had not been broken in the distress of ending what was not ended and never would be. Nothing of love had been destroyed today...the future was less bleak than now it seemed, that in it there still would be the delicacy of their reticence, and they themselves as love had made them for a while.
评分我可能还需要二十年 才能真正体会到这本小说的伟大之处
