The Secret Lives of People in Love is the first short story collection by award-winning writer Simon Van Booy. These stories, set in Kentucky, New York, Paris, Rome, and Greece, are a perfect synthesis of intensity and atmosphere. Love, loss, human contact, and isolation are Van Booy's themes. In radiant prose he writes about the difficult choices we make in order to retain our humanity and about the redemptive power of love in a violent world.
Included in this updated P.S. edition is the new story "The Mute Ventriloquist."

評分在讀西濛凡布伊這本《因為。愛》之前,就在《一周》文藝版上看過他上海之行的專訪。西濛的短篇小說誌在傳輸給大傢如何剋服悲劇的愛的力量以及愛的真諦,而其實他本人卻是一個遭遇愛妻亡故的單身父親。除瞭寫作,他把大部分的時間都放在瞭照顧年幼的女兒身上,對西濛來說,他首先...
