In this first collection of short stories from a highly regarded poet, a girl's body reappears in the ice where she fell 50 years earlier, a businessman watches his soul abandon him as he makes a speech, and a tourist staggers through Athens as it transforms into a vision of hell. Depicting solitary figures drawn against stark, troubling backdrops, these stories probe the theme of isolation by freezeframing each character's life just at the moment when the past breaks the surface, or when the present--like the dam of the title--collapses under its own weight.

比“next of kin”杀伤力更强的“my Katya”。无论是冰川下不曾老去的面孔还是还未曾到来的六周大的胎儿或许还都能当作是过去，但“我的卡雅”，不变的称谓，五十年不曾离去，Mr. Mercer每次一说出口都重重的砸在Mrs. Mercer心上。

短篇In Another Country改编成电影45 Years，自译中文版见http://www.douban.com/note/535651386/作者献声朗读版本见http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/_fYLKCYygYA/
