On the verge of giving up--anchored to dreams that never came true and to people who have long since disappeared from their lives--Van Booy's characters walk the streets of these stark and beautiful stories until chance meetings with strangers force them to face responsibility for lives they thought had continued on without them.
Simon Van Booy is the author of two novels and two collections of short stories, including The Secret Lives of People in Love and Love Begins in Winter, which won the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award. He is the editor of three philosophy books and has written for The New York Times, The Guardian, NPR, and the BBC. His work has been translated into fourteen languages. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and daughter.

评分如果你不在这里,那为何你又无处不在? 对于年轻时的我而言,所有的矛盾都不是问题——无非是一种忙碌状态下的空虚。 信任别人要比被别人信任更难。 孤独和抑郁的关系就好像游泳和溺水。 这是另一种惩罚自己的方式吧,回头去找那个你以为在那儿的人,可是却看不到。 如果...
评分西蒙•范•布伊的短篇小说集《爱,始于冬季》可能是我目前读过次数最多的短篇小说了。因为应景的关系还推荐给了不少身边的朋友。 而这本小说只是我从图书馆随手借来翻阅一下而已。《爱,始于冬季》这个名字,像极了一部浪漫爱情电影。就是那种看一眼标题就知道内容的类...
