The debut title in Ecco's the art of the Story Series—a collection of twelve short works of fiction that showcase Tobias Wolff's extraordinary craft
In the Garden of the North American Martyrs, Tobias Wolff's first collection of short fiction, hailed the arrival of a major talent and the beginning of an acclaimed, bestselling career. In each of these sharply crafted stories, his characters, drawn from everyday life, stumble over each other in their baffled yet resolute search for the "right path."
Among the characters in these twelve stories are a teenage boy who tells morbid lies about his home life; a timid professor who, in the first genuine outburst of her life, pours out her opinions in spite of a protesting audience; a prudish loner who gives an obnoxious hitchhiker a ride; and an elderly couple on a golden anniversary cruise who endures the offensive conviviality of the ship's social director.
Tobias Wolff was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and grew up in Washington State. He attended Oxford University and Stanford University, where he now teaches English and creative writing. He has received the Story Prize, both the Rea Award and PEN/Malamud Award for excellence in the short story, the Los Angeles Times Book Award, and the PEN/Faulkner Award.
有几篇很喜欢
评分介于三星半与四星之间吧。很有一种风格的短篇,比较“收”,句点之后总还有点什么的那种。

其实我对这位作者并不熟悉,但是去年读理查德·福特主编的一部短篇小说集(Blue Collar, White Collar, No Collar)时读到他的一篇《取证》,太喜欢了。刚好巧的是,有出版社买了几本他的书后约我译,听说是他的,我一口答应下来,结果就分这本书给我译。一读之下,非常喜欢,...
评分My favorite of this collection is Worldly Goods. It is short, but reading it took me long. I have to stop from time to time to catch my breath and ease my worries; and sometimes, I just wanted to skip or stop completely. I just knew something obnoxious is a...
评分In the Garden of the North American Martyrs, introducing its protagonist, Mary, a professor of History at Brandon College. Mary is a fearful woman who keeps her opinions to herself. At the beginning of her teaching career, she witnessed a brilliant professo...
评分2016年正值书荒的一段时间,看到何帆在微博上强推了这本书,本着“看书名觉得内容也会很有意思”的心态买了回来,结果在书柜里一放就是两年。今年从温度渐渐升高阳光开始明媚的春夏之交开始翻看直到今天树叶枯黄厚衣加身的深秋时节,才终于读完了这本没有序没有跋没有简介没有...
评分这种书读来只会让人郁闷。书中形形色色各种人物,各种年龄,各种身份,各种关系,未必不得志,未必缺少爱,未必没有荣光时刻,未必觉得人生不值得一过,但就是不开心,这种不开心不是特定针对某件事某个人,而像是一种形而上的不开心,因为人生就是如此啊,漫长乏味,看不到尽...
