The debut title in Ecco's the art of the Story Series—a collection of twelve short works of fiction that showcase Tobias Wolff's extraordinary craft
In the Garden of the North American Martyrs, Tobias Wolff's first collection of short fiction, hailed the arrival of a major talent and the beginning of an acclaimed, bestselling career.

評分 評分《乘客》《北美殉道者花园》《骗子》给我的触动最大,笔尖里带着的孤独和失望,有些篇章感觉就是破碎的,不知道原文是这样的还是翻译的问题。以前老师教我们写作的时候说的是,无论大家是听歌看书还是看电影,究其根本都是在看自己,若是将人描述尽了,我想总会有人在关上书后...
