具體描述

From the Back Cover

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.

著者簡介

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.

先说说几句关于作者的话。托拜厄斯·沃尔夫和雷蒙德·卡佛齐名,被归类到所谓肮脏现实主义作家(dirty realists)的流派中。肮脏现实主义这个术语,是由《格兰塔》(Granta)杂志编辑比尔·巴福德(Bill Buford)创造的,用来指代那些用简朴语言描述普通人生活肮脏、龌蹉面的现...

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...

介於三星半與四星之間吧。很有一種風格的短篇,比較“收”,句點之後總還有點什麼的那種。
