内容简介 Book DescriptionThe nine haunting stories of Monkfish Moon, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, announce the appearance of an extraordinary writing talent. Gunesekera describes a kind of paradise in which a sudden moment of silence in a city is cause for fear, where civil war disrupts a marriage thousands of miles away, and where "building up"--of businesses, homes, relationships--is more often than not swiftly and violently brought down.
Book Dimension length: (cm)19.4 width:(cm)12.8
媒体推荐 Reviews 1. Nine stories, each intricately tuned and carefully turned. Gunesekera's language has a simple surface--he excels in the pithy sentence serving the apparently practical purpose. But the simplicity is deceptive, his observation as close as the stare of a voyeur.
--Independent
2. [An] impressive first book. . . The delicate firmness with which Gunesekera portrays the dilemmas of living in a spoiled paradise gives this collection a haunting, eye-opening quality.
--Observer
3. Graceful and grim. . . carefully civilised bulletins on barbarity's reverberations.
--London Sunday Times
4. These stories display Mr. Gunesekera's knowledge of his homeland. . . in an unexpected, even wonderful way.
--Atlanta Journal
5. Gunesekera's subtly erotic prose animates Sri Lanka's natural luxuriance, veined with menace.
--Voice Literary Supplement
6. Close to Chekhov in tone. . . Gunesekera's writing works by implication, making words and images mean more than they actually say. . . The characters are real, living, breathing people. . . The stories in Monkfish Moon. . . achieve real emotional depth.
--Financial Times
