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 评分 评分木心在讲俄罗斯的文学时提到，“十九世纪的俄罗斯似乎全部是冬天，全部雪，全部夜，全部马车驿站，全部阿卡奇•阿卡耶维奇，彼得罗夫•彼得罗芙娜，全都过去了，全部在文学之中，靠自己的体温去熨暖它。”这些意象和姓名符号于是成为一种文学的既定烙印，那些作品不约而同...
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...
