具体描述

“Funny, bewitching, observant.”— The Oregonian “Hits all the frets of a powerful story: sharp-witted dialogue, vivid characters, insight into medical challenges and prose that snaps like well-placed plucks of guitar strings. . . . I hold up my lighter and turn it full-flame for [Garth] Stein’s latest work. Encore!”— The Seattle Times “Compelling.”— Seattle Post-Intelligencer “Stein handles the many narrative elements deftly.”— Seattle Weekly “An engrossing family drama.”— Publishers Weekly Evan had a hit single, but that was ten years ago. Thirty-one now, he’s drifting, playing in a local band and teaching middle-aged men to coax music from an electric guitar. Beset at a young age with a life-threatening form of epilepsy, he’s kept his condition a secret. But his deepest secret is that he got his high school sweetheart pregnant. Then her conservative parents whisked her out of Seattle and out of Evan’s life. Now, fourteen years later, he experiences unplanned parenthood when he undertakes to raise the resentful teenage son he’s never known. Off beat and disarming, How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets portrays a contemporary American family with unfailing honesty. Garth Stein , a former documentary filmmaker, was co-producer of an Academy Award-winning short film. How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets is his second novel; his first, Raven Stole the Moon , was published by Pocket Books. His third novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain , will be published by HarperCollins in 2008 and is being translated around the world. He lives in Seattle with his wife and children.

作者简介

加思‧斯坦（Garth Stein）

美国著名作家。1990年获哥伦比亚大学艺术硕士学位，原为纪录片制作人。

1998年出版小说Raven Stole the Moon，在文学界初试啼声。2005年《单身伊凡的城堡》出版，获次年太平洋西北书商公会图书奖、美国独立书商协会选书。2008年《我在雨中等你》甫一出版，迅速登上《纽约时报》畅销书榜，先后荣居23个国家及地区排行榜首位，至今长销不衰。

《单身伊凡的城堡》以细腻的文字、亲切又不寻常的故事，展露成长中的敏感、不羁、脆弱与彷徨。基调悠长又略带戏谑，如折镜般拢起一束光，温暖习惯退缩、独舐孤独的心灵。

读后感

刚刚在看《破产姐妹》第四季第二集，里面的巨无霸丰乳肥臀女人苏菲用碟仙测她是否要和奥利弗复合。谁都能看得出来，她就是自己在操控着所谓的碟仙。 就好像加思·斯坦说的，“你的心，决定你所看见的。我们是自己命运的创造者。” 加思·斯坦就是本书的作者，不过上面这句话是...  

大约是半个月之前，一口气读完了两本书。分别叫做《十一种孤独》和《单身伊凡的城堡》，乍一听名字都很小清新，但实际上都是顶好顶好的小说，她们给我这个炎热、单调、注定属于司法考试的暑假增添了光彩。现在案头摆着那本厚重、著名的《百年孤独》，却不知何时可以读完了...

面对无法解决的事，习惯了逃避，为自己建立一座城堡，告诉自己在这里就不会受到伤害，拒绝别人的关心，害怕别人一旦知道事情的真相会永远的离开自己。变得不相信人，即使是自己的亲人。我们带上面具生活，把最好的一面展现在别人的面前，把丑陋不堪的一面放进城堡里。面...
