具体描述
From the internationally celebrated author of Brooklyn and The Master , and winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, comes a stunning new book of fiction.
In the captivating stories that make up The Empty Family , Colm Tóibín delineates with a tender and unique sensibility, lives of unspoken or unconscious longing, of individuals often willingly cast adrift from their history. From the young Pakistani immigrant who seeks some kind of permanence in a strange town, to the Irish woman reluctantly returning to Dublin and discovering a city that refuses to acknowledge her long absence, each of Tóibín's stories manage to contain whole worlds: stories of fleeing the past and returning home, of family threads lost and ultimately regained.
Like Tóibín's celebrated novels, and his previous short story collection, Mothers and Sons , reviewed on the front page of the New York Times Book Review, The Empty Family will further confirm Tóibín's status as "his generation's most gifted writer of love's complicated, contradictory power." ( Los Angeles Times )

评分这是我第一次纯用耳朵“看”完的一本书。随着8小时35分钟全文朗读的抑扬顿挫，无数个画面渐次浮起。 托宾是文学化的优秀作家，背向这个浮躁时代而写作，他这本最新中短篇小说集里的故事大概多少都带点自传性，好几位主角是离乡多年重归故里的爱尔兰人。叙事多采取插叙回忆的方...

暂时觉得很寂寞
评分Probably the first collection of “gay stories” I’ve read without knowing they were such beforehand. Suits me now. The detachment is still pretty gay but there’s also plenty of nuances and emotions than simply the secrecy, self pity and sentimentality.
评分Love&Loss 几个同性情侣的故事挺相似的，个人感触最深的是One Minus One
