Graham Swift was born in 1949 and is the author of eight acclaimed novels and a collection of short stories; his most recent work is "Making an Elephant", a book of essays, portraits, poetry and reflections on his life in writing. With "Waterland" he won the Guardian Fiction Prize (1983), and with "Last orders" the Booker Prize (1996). Both novels have since been made into films. Graham Swift's work has appeared in over thirty languages.
'An admirable collection. Each story has its subtle nuances of narrative and language which established a quite distinct character. A most impressive work of fiction' - "The Times". Graham Swift's taut prose style, natural gift for characterization and tight grasp of the details and complexities of real life combine beautifully in these concentrated and enigmatic stories to offer an incisive expose of the illusion, subterfuge and enigma of everyday interaction. Focusing on the combative relationships between men and women - between a mismatched couple; an ageing doctor and his hypochondriacal patient; a teenage refugee swept up in the conflict of an oppressively sentimental father and his rebellious son - these spare, Kafkaesque stories are a microcosm for all human cruelty and need. 'Graham Swift...has a wide range; he can be delicately sensitive or outrageously funny. He is a born storyteller' - "Daily Telegraph". 'He has style and he has range, and quiet strengths that are continuously and effortlessly displayed. Graham Swift should be read by everyone with an interest in the art of the short story' - "Evening Standard".
这是我看过的最好看的短篇小说,每一篇都很有深意,甚至有好几篇我一口气读完之后,还要翻到前面的导读去看一下分析,才能悟出其中的道理。短篇小说写成这样很难吧,或许我看过的还比较少。看了几篇之后,慢慢有点熟悉作者的风格,所以后面几篇就看得更顺一些。 ...

评分 评分Graham Swift写的故事都很阴暗,让人不快,还好他探讨的问题也常常是困扰我们的父辈与子辈的关系、婚姻问题等等,挺有意思,有时还营造出点鬼故事的氛围。 正如译者在序言里所说的,“小说人物的语言较为单一,无论是初生之犊还是迟暮老翁,几乎都以同样睿智的口吻叙述着自己的...
