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.

評分不知道齣版社是否因為這個名字比較有噱頭,因此選擇瞭以第一篇《愛,始於鼕季》來做本書的書名。但在我看來,一個沉浸在往事裏不能自拔的大提琴傢在酒店重墜愛河,從而開始嘗試走齣傷痛的故事,並不如第二篇《虎,虎》來的沉痛和深刻。 在《虎》裏,講述的是一個兒科醫生因為...
