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.

评分优秀的文学总有一种魔力：它能改变读者的语言。犹记五年前，笔者在回国的飞机上偶然听人聊起《繁花》，迫不及待买来一读，结果愣是让自己这个江淮官话区长大的读者说了一个礼拜的洋泾浜。小说中的语言、词汇、腔调等等，随着情节和人物自然而然地生长、纠缠，卷入读者心中，改...
评分“我们是自己心中绝望的后裔。斯凯、朗姆、巴拉、迪里这些岛是我们的过去。” 没人知道，《去往乱岑角的路》主角的祖父是如何在一个连钢笔都没有的年代里，在橡木横梁的高处写下这些符咒般的字句的。他们的祖先，十九世纪初即离开了苏格兰，远赴美洲，把这些孤独的岛屿留给了...
评分 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...
