MONKFISH MOON

by ROMESH GUNESEKERA

安康鱼月亮

ISBN: 1862070954   0116.00   138  32

内容简介

进入英联邦作家奖短名单

 

本书9个小故事有Romesh Gunesekera 对怀旧、悔恨和失去的感悟。All of the stories are either set in Sri Lanka, or about Sri Lankans effectively exiled abroad, and rather like the island's famous jewels, and perhaps, the island itself, this collection is small but perfectly formed. Gunesekera sets the scene in each story with a deftness of touch and an economy of style, and his characterisations are both plausible and moving. Above all, the stories are far more ambiguous and involving than they initially appear.

FISHBOWL

by SARAH MLYNOWSKI

ISBN0373250207   0785.70   360   32

内容简介

This is an engaging look at the lifestyle of twenty something-single females. The story line rotates first person narration between the three roommates so readers watch unfold the same event from an entirely different perspective as each character brings interpreting baggage to the observation. The problem with this novel is the prime traits often displayed by the trio leaves the reader indifferent as Allie turns from nave cute to irritating just fell off the turnip truck, Jodine appreciates nothing especially her roommates and men, and Emma is a selfish user. Still, fans of chick lit will enjoy the insightful look at group dynamics done so well by Sarah Mlynowski.

     

作者简介

Sarah Mlynowski lives and works in New York. Her first novel, Milkrun, is being published in over ten languages. Sarah has had six roommates, most of whom claim to have enjoyed living with her.
