6年前一眼喜欢上了Alain de Botton的文字,今年又遇上了Simon Van Booy。这些英国人的东西,可以的话,尽量读原文,中文翻译虽然对于小说的框架布局没有影响,但文字方面难以保持原汁原味。 "If you are not here, then why are you everywhere?" 这样一句应该就是这位Simon先...

评分《爱,始于冬季》 这是这本书的第一个短篇,一连串的场景出现在脑海中,是《巴黎夜未眠》中相遇的缘,是《before sunrise》中无言的爱,是《她比烟花寂寞》中大提琴的忧伤,是《莫扎特与鲸鱼》中失常的孤独。但所有的这一切让我体会到一种莫名的安静,这种安静优雅地昭示了掩藏...

On the verge of giving up--anchored to dreams that never came true and to people who have long since disappeared from their lives--Van Booy's characters walk the streets of these stark and beautiful stories until chance meetings with strangers force them to face responsibility for lives they thought had continued on without them.
The dead live somewhere else, wearing the clothes we remember them in.
评分看完the city of windy trees 是真的感动了,很多句子很美,比如after the storm ,night filled the wet city .我相信要是看翻译的文字,肯定不太能感受到这种意境
评分这个故事太适合在新年第一天洒满阳光的午后里读了。
评分and that after those first love had been doused or burned out, men and women chose whom they would love based on worldly needs, and then reenacted the ritual and feelings of the first pure experience--nursed the flames that once burned of their own accord.
