Published to great critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, the iridescent stories in Claire Keegan's debut collection, Antarctica, have been acclaimed by The Observer to be "among the finest contemporary stories written recently in English." In "Antarctica," a married woman travels out of town to see what it's like to sleep with a man other than her husband. "Love in the Tall Grass" takes Cordelia down a coastal road on the last day of the twentieth century to keep a date with her lover that has been nine years in the waiting. "Stay Close to the Water's Edge" tells of a young Harvard student who is pitilessly humiliated by his homophobic stepfather on his birthday. Keegan's writing has a clear vision of unaffected truths and boldly explores a world where dreams, memory, and chance have crippling consequences for those involved. The stories are often dark and enveloped in a palpable atmosphere, and the reader feels that something "big" is going on in each of these carefully sculpted tales. The award-winning Antarctica, a Los Angeles Times Best Book of 2001, and recipient of the prestigious Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, the William Trevor Prize, and the Martin Healy Award, is a haunting debut. "These stories are diamonds." -- Emily Robichaud, Esquire "That Keegan has a knack for storytelling is proved many times over...." -- Caitlin Macy, The New York Times Book Review "[These] stories ... show Keegan to be an authentic talent with a gimlet eye and a distinctive voice." -- Amanda Heller, The Boston Globe "Reading these stories is like coming upon work of Ann Beattie or Raymond Carver at the start of their careers." -- Jerry Griswold, Los Angeles Times

看着真冷啊…书名起的太到位了
评分爱尔兰的很多艺术家和作品，从Damien Rice，到电影如Once和水中仙Ondine，连同大卫米切尔《幽灵代笔》写到爱尔兰的那一章，都有阴冷灰蒙蒙和大海咸咸的湿漉漉的气息。这本书也一模一样。除却被比照卡佛和奥康纳的相似小说构架，有一些地方读起来像创意习作之外，克莱尔伊根的文笔通畅得让人读起来心旷神怡。女性写作手法特质里对感官的敏感总是戳中我，嗅觉，视觉和温度无时无刻笼罩。最喜欢南极，Love in the tall grass，Burns和Sisters。

评分cannot get into this book, not my type ... the book's flat copy lies. what is so called "diamond". For me, Ireland, Y.B. Yeats, have long been setting very high bar in my mind though.
