The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
这是一本披着童话外壳的成人故事集,一共有十二篇。每篇写作结构、形式不尽相同,风格迥异,有的是黑暗童话,有的是现世社会中扭曲的生活。作者珍·坎贝尔好像一个女巫,用魔镜把现实和幻境混在一起,虚实穿插,引诱着读者不断深入她编造的故事森林,寻找那颗白色之心。 何为白...
评分把日历往回翻到2018年11月,我把封面设计文案提交给设计师的时候,做了一个肯定会让很多读者不屑的决定:为这本《世界诞生于午夜》中文版增加一个副书名。 增加副书名的原因,说起来有些滑稽:买了英文原版封面插画,但是缠绕在心脏上的飘带不是分层图,也就没法修改,只能削足...

荒谬之美 没有一件事可靠 也没有任何事是假的 从扭曲的空间里能看到不愿意面对的自己 前半段几个故事惊艳至极 可惜后劲不足 最后几个故事略显平庸 但值得读

评分不是不好,可能是个人拍偏好设置不同。故事太阴郁,英文看着很晦涩。要努点力才能看进去的样子。
评分追了Jen的油管这么久,期待很高,看了以后反而失望。确实是诗化的写作但每个故事都缺点什么
