具体描述
The stories of The Lost Salt Gift of Blood are remarkably simple – a family is drawn together by shared and separate losses, a child’s reality conflicts with his parents’ memories, a young man struggles to come to terms with the loss of his father.
Yet each piece of writing in this critically acclaimed collection is infused with a powerful life of its own, a precision of language and a scrupulous fidelity to the reality of time and place, of sea and Maritime farm.
Focusing on the complexities and abiding mysteries at the heart of human relationships, the seven stories of The Lost Salt Gift of Blood map the close bonds and impassable chasms that lie between man and woman, parent and child.

评分《秋》 "那可能是我第一次意识到成年人的生活会多么艰难，而且做一个成年人也可能是非常可怕的事，我一下子自私地担心起来，不止是为了那一刻的我，也是为了多年后的自己" "他们侧过身，面对面倚向对方，肩靠着肩，就像三角屋顶那两根对接的椽木。" 看见有人批注，失去的终会失...
评分20 No.14 《海风中失落的血色馈赠》 在读这本书之前，我认为只有雷蒙德卡佛那样的零碎片段才是短篇小说的真谛，我甚至认为短篇小说三杰的那些作品也不过如此。这本书带给我的是一种情感上的震撼，它几乎是在用散文的方法去写短篇小说。 我认识了一种新的短篇小说写法，将抒情...
