加思‧斯坦(Garth Stein)
美国著名作家。1990年获哥伦比亚大学艺术硕士学位,原为纪录片制作人。

《单身伊凡的城堡》以细腻的文字、亲切又不寻常的故事,展露成长中的敏感、不羁、脆弱与彷徨。基调悠长又略带戏谑,如折镜般拢起一束光,温暖习惯退缩、独舐孤独的心灵。
“Funny, bewitching, observant.”— The Oregonian “Hits all the frets of a powerful story: sharp-witted dialogue, vivid characters, insight into medical challenges and prose that snaps like well-placed plucks of guitar strings. . . . I hold up my lighter and turn it full-flame for [Garth] Stein’s latest work. Encore!”— The Seattle Times “Compelling.”— Seattle Post-Intelligencer “Stein handles the many narrative elements deftly.”— Seattle Weekly “An engrossing family drama.”— Publishers Weekly Evan had a hit single, but that was ten years ago. Thirty-one now, he’s drifting, playing in a local band and teaching middle-aged men to coax music from an electric guitar. Beset at a young age with a life-threatening form of epilepsy, he’s kept his condition a secret. But his deepest secret is that he got his high school sweetheart pregnant. Then her conservative parents whisked her out of Seattle and out of Evan’s life. Now, fourteen years later, he experiences unplanned parenthood when he undertakes to raise the resentful teenage son he’s never known. Off beat and disarming, How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets portrays a contemporary American family with unfailing honesty. Garth Stein , a former documentary filmmaker, was co-producer of an Academy Award-winning short film. How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets is his second novel; his first, Raven Stole the Moon , was published by Pocket Books. His third novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain , will be published by HarperCollins in 2008 and is being translated around the world. He lives in Seattle with his wife and children.
他黯然神伤去参加前女友的葬礼,昨日爱与恨再度浮现脑海之中,只是他还没有来得及梳理出孰是孰非,他的视线中出现一张和他相似的但十分青涩的脸孔,从天而降,一个十四岁的,正处在叛逆期的儿子,这一年的伊凡,我们故事的主人公仅三十一岁。伊凡是孤独的。虽然父母家境十分富...
评分《单身伊凡的城堡》是一本很好的小说。至少对于我来说是如此。这本书的开头倒并没有给我多深的印象,但是越到后来,我越关注主人公伊凡,越为他的所言所行所想所动容。这倒并不是说伊凡的故事有多传奇,恰恰相反,他是普通得不能再普通的一个人,他就像你,也更像我。而正是他...
评分每个人人心里都有一片阴影,供人躲藏,供人栖息,甚至将人隔离禁闭。 但没有多少人能意识到:自己竟是安歇于监狱。 多多少少,买这本伊凡,多多少少受了些《我在雨中等你》的影响。 好几年了,《雨中等你》的那条叫“恩佐”的狗,始终让人难以忘怀。 常常会想起,它看电视的郁...
评分看了这本书竟然会联系到自己,自己曾经也是那样,永远的怪别人,认为别人给你的你所需的永远不够,总是以自我为中心,敏感,总是怀疑别人给你的爱,恩,刚开始看的时候竟然会陷进主人公的那种思维,感觉找到了知己,殊不知,是自己太幼稚了。。。。
