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.

評分晚上看瞭西濛·範·布伊的短篇小說集《愛,始於鼕季》,非常喜歡。王安憶在序言裏說短篇小說是最優雅的一種形式,而我想西濛的小說是擔得起這個稱贊的。他的故事都很平緩,有一種極為靜謐的氛圍,那種閱讀的感覺就好像一個人獨自漫步於飄著雪的寂靜的城市街頭,四周都是白茫茫...
評分6年前一眼喜歡上瞭Alain de Botton的文字,今年又遇上瞭Simon Van Booy。這些英國人的東西,可以的話,盡量讀原文,中文翻譯雖然對於小說的框架布局沒有影響,但文字方麵難以保持原汁原味。 "If you are not here, then why are you everywhere?" 這樣一句應該就是這位Simon先...
