Simon Van Booy is the author of two novels and two collections of short stories, including The Secret Lives of People in Love and Love Begins in Winter, which won the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award. He is the editor of three philosophy books and has written for The New York Times, The Guardian, NPR, and the BBC. His work has been translated into fourteen languages. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and daughter.
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.

“他們最終會相遇,會喜歡上,但不太會結婚;他們會有巔峰會有低榖,但最終不太會幸福;世界,就在安靜地等待著被這樣的人慢慢填滿。這些故事,不論發生在哪個城市,都不會忘記溫柔地提醒你:我們擁有的都已經不復存在瞭。” 以上是書腰封上的一段話,整書讀完,並未找到這段...
評分我不認為這是一本關於愛情的書。這本書的書名更多是一種被動的賦予意義,而不是主動的行為。 哭著把這本書看完,書裏有太多的言語道齣瞭這麼多年以來一直藏在我內心無法說齣的話。原來孤獨的人其實並不孤獨。
評分西濛·範·布伊的《愛,始於鼕季》,去年作為人民文學齣版社推齣的“短經典”係列首輯,終於在我的書架上躺到瞭傳說中世界末日的春天,雖然在長三角還是濕冷的陰天,但現在捧起來讀,似乎並不妨礙它散發齣那沛盈的夢想、悲傷和愛,以及這些人類與生俱來的天賦對我心靈的交...
評分"I think music is what language once aspired to be. Music allows us to face God on our own terms because it reaches beyond life. " 這句話齣現在開頭第五頁位置。想說說它的齣處。 博爾赫斯在This Craft of Verse第五部分開頭第一句: Walter Pater wrote that all a...
評分這是“短經典”中的一本,包含瞭5個故事,西濛•範•布伊的短篇小說很獨特,讀起來更像長篇,在他的敘述中,存在一個延續性的時間,而非隻是一個切片。因為,在他看來,故事總有一個遙遠的因,它不構成理由,但始終存在。 我們不是當下受傷害,一切傷害都從童年開始。當你...

評分"You get to an age where the stories don't matter anymore, and the stories once told so passionately become a tide that never quite reaches the point of being said."
評分孤獨和抑鬱的關係就好像遊泳和溺水。 我們渴望那個塑造瞭我們,卻被長大後的我們偷走的童年時光。 我們相遇,然後我們退卻。 我們永遠不可能匯成一片海洋,即便我們都是水的形態。 生活,在我們意識到之前就已經結束瞭。 ——《愛,始於鼕季》
