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.
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.
这是“短经典”中的一本,包含了5个故事,西蒙•范•布伊的短篇小说很独特,读起来更像长篇,在他的叙述中,存在一个延续性的时间,而非只是一个切片。因为,在他看来,故事总有一个遥远的因,它不构成理由,但始终存在。 我们不是当下受伤害,一切伤害都从童年开始。当你...
評分6年前一眼喜欢上了Alain de Botton的文字,今年又遇上了Simon Van Booy。这些英国人的东西,可以的话,尽量读原文,中文翻译虽然对于小说的框架布局没有影响,但文字方面难以保持原汁原味。 "If you are not here, then why are you everywhere?" 这样一句应该就是这位Simon先...
評分这本书买了很久,但都一直没有看,起初买的时候,是因为看了封面上的推荐“他们最终会相遇,会喜欢上,不太会结婚;他们会有巅峰会有低谷,最终不太会幸福;世界,就在安静地等待着被这样的人慢慢填满。这些故事,不论发生在哪个城市,都不会忘记温柔地提醒你:what we have is...
評分“他们最终会相遇,会喜欢上,但不太会结婚;他们会有巅峰会有低谷,但最终不太会幸福;世界,就在安静地等待着被这样的人慢慢填满。这些故事,不论发生在哪个城市,都不会忘记温柔地提醒你:我们拥有的都已经不复存在了。” 以上是书腰封上的一段话,整书读完,并未找到这段...
評分晚上看了西蒙·范·布伊的短篇小说集《爱,始于冬季》,非常喜欢。王安忆在序言里说短篇小说是最优雅的一种形式,而我想西蒙的小说是担得起这个称赞的。他的故事都很平缓,有一种极为静谧的氛围,那种阅读的感觉就好像一个人独自漫步于飘着雪的寂静的城市街头,四周都是白茫茫...
文字美得很。
评分he is gentle with an offspring from China
评分and that after those first love had been doused or burned out, men and women chose whom they would love based on worldly needs, and then reenacted the ritual and feelings of the first pure experience--nursed the flames that once burned of their own accord.
评分這個故事太適閤在新年第一天灑滿陽光的午後裏讀瞭。
评分西濛·範·布伊的故事太適閤陰雨連綿的春天,每一幀畫麵都朦朧,如同玻璃窗外的水汽與植物。我常常分不清它們到底是我讀到的故事,還是曾經的夢境。這麼久以來,一直以為在夜晚的雨中漫步至清晨,望見房屋裏點蠟燭的女孩是我自己的夢,那麼清楚,細節曆曆在目。不間斷地被某些片段或字句感動著,像在落雨後的城市步著便踩到水潭。And the road surface is slick. It reflects the world with a beautiful inaccuracy. Too beautiful to miss.
