William Trevor is truly a Chekhov for our age, and a new collection of stories from him is always a cause for celebration. In these twelve stories, a waiter divulges a shocking life of crime to his ex-wife; a woman repeats the story of her parentsa unstable marriage after a horrible tragedy; a schoolgirl regrets gossiping about the cuckolded man who tutors her; and, in the volumeas title story, a middle-aged accountant offers his reasons for ending a love affair. At the heart of this stunning collection is Trevoras characteristic tenderness and unflinching eye for both the humanizing and dehumanizing aspects of modern urban and rural life.

很早以前,听许知远读《出轨》,听着听着睡着了,而那种迷离安静的失落感却一直记忆犹新。 后来在书展看到它,毫不犹豫买下。读第一篇就很喜欢。《坐对死人》。一个乡村寡妇会如何处理丈夫的后事?我在下班途中回想这个故事:她二十几岁就嫁给了这个男人。丈夫还活着的时候,他...
评分 评分背对当代的写作(代《出轨》译后记) 打开一本题为《出轨》的小说集,却根本看不到什么玉体横陈、鱼水交欢的火热场面,甚至连一丝可以跟荷尔蒙或肾上腺素关联起来的淡弱气息也闻不到——这样的阅读经验估计会让相当比例的中文读者感到失望。不过,这种类型的失望大概根本不会...
评分这或许已是特雷弗最后的一个短篇集。对于人生的流离遇合、阴差阳错,他观察入微,了然于心,同时报以无限的宽容与悲悯——但绝不滥情,而且时有不怀恶意的讥讽。这是一位看透了人间的老爷子,固然有虚无之处,却绝不会将你带向空门,而是让你走向冷静的睿智或睿智的冷静,让你...
评分我可能还需要二十年 才能真正体会到这本小说的伟大之处
评分Unspoken, understood, their rules of love had not been broken in the distress of ending what was not ended and never would be. Nothing of love had been destroyed today...the future was less bleak than now it seemed, that in it there still would be the delicacy of their reticence, and they themselves as love had made them for a while.
