小时候,我有过一个志向,要记住我看过的每一张人脸。 你看,警察们在茫茫人海中寻找一个罪犯,当他们一筹莫展的时候,我拨开人群,大步走上前去,揪住一个人衣领,大声说:就是他!某年某月某日某地你做下了什么罪行,你长着一张什么样的脸,而这张脸就是你的罪证! 警察们心...

评分刚入手这本书,只是看了作者的前言,便勾起了我心底藏了两年的情结。封底上有一句“给你心底的陌生人写情书吧”,于是我在今日凌晨三点写下了这样的LOVE LETTER。 -------------------------------------------- 亲爱的 对不起。 请允许我冒昧的也是自私的最后一次这么叫你。...
评分《想念你的陌生人》。其实就是我遇到一个陌生人,一见钟情,然后写下他,寻找他。一个又一个的故事穿成串,然后编辑成册,绘成本。 这是一个有趣的想法,把大家的邂逅集合起来,才发现时间有那么多相似和共同遭遇,但是也共同的没有把握我们的那一瞬。 不过。。。那...
评分日久生情的人,是巴甫洛夫的信徒,一见钟情,才是真正的爱。 此话于我心有戚戚焉! 我从来不相信什么日久生情的鬼话,那不过是为平庸的人生找一个借口。一见钟情,不但意味着勇气,更意味着冒险。真正的一见钟情,就像是两列相遇的火车,蕴藏着巨大的危险。这种危险,...

Like a message in a bottle, a "missed connection" classified (usually posted on a website) is an attempt however far-fetched, by one stranger to reach another on the strength of a remembered glance, smile, or blue hat. The anonymous messages are hopeful and hopeless, funny and sad. Ms. Blackall, award-winning illustrator of "Ruby's Wish" and "Big Red Lollipop", has turned some of the most evocative (or hilarious) of them into exquisite paintings. "Missed Connections" is a collection of illustrated love stories. There's "We Shared a Bear Suit." "If Not for Your Noisy Tambourine." "Hairy Bearded Swimmer." Each is told in the shorthand of a "missed connection," and then illustrated in Chinese ink and watercolour. The paintings are extraordinary: delicate yet full of feeling, each springing from one little detail of the post into a fully imagined world. Each brings the voyeuristic pleasure of watching love at first sight, and the pleasure of watching an artist discover a fresh new way to tell a story. And not all the connections are missed. Hidden in the book are three pieces that conjure up the magic of love found.
最好的爱情故事止于第一个吻。把那些玄妙又迟疑的瞬间收罗起来,每一个似乎都有无限可能,又美好得让人不愿再继续。看完觉得好庆幸,我也遇到过好多第一次见就觉得他/她在发光的人呀。
评分Unfortunately, I didn't look up. But I'm pretty sure you are beautiful.
评分New York's sweet heart
评分Say Hi,then...
评分虽然不是最喜欢这种插画风格,但伴着“寻人启事”的故事还是感觉很棒很温馨啊
