This charming Christmas fable begins with a dilemma: A writer has been asked by "The New York Times" to write a story that will appear in the paper on Christmas morning. The man agrees, but he has a problem: How do you write an unsentimental Christmas story? He unburdens himself to his friend at his local cigar shop, a colourful character called Auggie Wren. 'A Christmas story? Is that all?' Auggie counters. 'If you buy me lunch, my friend, I'll tell you the best Christmas story you've ever heard. And I guarantee every word of it is true.' What follows is utterly beguiling - a story involving a blind woman, a lost wallet, and a Christmas dinner - in which everything is turned upside down and the lines between truth and story telling become brilliantly blurred.

小时候写作文实在想不出来写什么我就写些自己都觉得牵强的交差，这样有时还被老师当作范文念。我读这本书的时候找回了当年的感觉。
