最喜歡In the Dark和Margaret and Mary and the End of the World,前者有點像不久前纔讀的艾辛格爾,後者則有點how to be both的味道。作者語言非常簡潔清爽,但是敘述口吻經常把握得不夠到位,讀第一篇的時候一直以為敘述者是個成熟女人,後來纔發現是男性,挺破壞閱讀體驗的(讀短篇集同名的時候也有類似的不協調感)。本來沒有特彆想讀下去,但是第二篇的小男孩口吻又很惟妙惟肖,真的感覺很可愛纔繼續讀瞭。之前就看到中譯本要齣的消息,說作者是卡特的“當代傳人”,老實說有點搞笑瞭,差的不要太遠。封麵很好。

評分荒謬之美 沒有一件事可靠 也沒有任何事是假的 從扭麯的空間裏能看到不願意麵對的自己 前半段幾個故事驚艷至極 可惜後勁不足 最後幾個故事略顯平庸 但值得讀

評分不是不好,可能是個人拍偏好設置不同。故事太陰鬱,英文看著很晦澀。要努點力纔能看進去的樣子。

'These days, you can find anything you need at the click of a button.
That's why I bought her heart online.'

評分 評分把日历往回翻到2018年11月,我把封面设计文案提交给设计师的时候,做了一个肯定会让很多读者不屑的决定:为这本《世界诞生于午夜》中文版增加一个副书名。 增加副书名的原因,说起来有些滑稽:买了英文原版封面插画,但是缠绕在心脏上的飘带不是分层图,也就没法修改,只能削足...
