HThe natural world exerts a powerful, brooding presence in this first collection; it's almost as much a main character as any of the individuals the 26-year-old Doerr records. Nature, in these eight stories, is mysterious and deadly, a wonder of design and of nearly overwhelming power. This delicate balance is evidenced by the title story, about a blind man who spends his days collecting rare and beautiful shell specimens. Self-exiled to the coast of Kenya, he discovers that a certain poisonous snail has the power both to kill and to effect a rapid recovery from malaria. This discovery brings him much attention but little joy, disturbing the carefully ordered universe that he has constructed to manage both his blindness and his temperament. A naturalist's perspective also informs the other stories. In "The Hunter's Wife," Doerr catalogues winter in Montana as "a thousand ladybugs hibernating in an orange ball in a riverbank hollow; a pair of dormant frogs buried in frozen mud." But Doerr can play it funny, too: in "July Fourth," a group of American fishermen endure a hilarious litany of woes in a fishing contest across Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Their troubles include much drinking, few fish and losing their shirts (and all their tackle) to a Belorussian basketball team. The title story could well appear in the next Best American or O. Henry anthologies, and the others make a fine supporting cast. Agent, Wendy Weil. (Jan. 14)Forecast: With blurbs from the likes of Rick Bass, this debut collection should do better than most, especially if reviewers take note.

Absolutely unique, powerful and beautiful stories, about people's relationship with nature, and with each other.
評分Anthony has never ever let me down. Just like one of his fans said once, his work is 'scraps of dream'.

《拾贝人》这本书包括八篇故事,囊括世界各地城市、乡村、森林、湖畔的风光风情。为每一篇故事营造出别具一格的异域情调,并用以处理故事中现代人司空见惯的失去、疏离等现代性焦虑症,读者读罢有种“当时只道是寻常”的回甘余韵。 作者安东尼·多尔 ,美国小说家,二〇一五年...

評分看了很多书,然而我却记不得大多数的作者和书名,只记得书中的故事了。我此生贫瘠,拿不出多少积蓄去云游四方,去体验各色各样的人生,即使这样也无法挡住我探寻故事的心,有多少读者像我一样呢?因书中有故事而喜欢上看书,就像安东尼·多尔去探求地球上每一个雄伟壮丽的角落...
評分或许生命的意义在于这巍峨的群山之中,在这无垠的土地之中,在这浩瀚的星空之中,在这波涛汹涌的海洋之中。也许,它也在我们每一次伤心,每一次愉悦,每一次感动之中。我一直相信,这个世界上有太多的美好还没有去体会,有着太多的风景还没有看到,便也应该去珍惜这每一分,每...
