SPILL SIMMER FALTER WITHER

Book ID/图书代码： 00200015B79601

English Summary/英文概要： You find me on a Tuesday, on my Tuesday trip to town. You’re sellotaped to the inside pane of the jumble shop window. A photograph of your mangled face and underneath an appeal for a COMPASSIONATE AND TOLERANT OWNER. A PERSON WITHOUT OTHER PETS & WITHOUT CHILDREN UNDER FOUR. Part Kjersti Skomsvold, part Patrick McCabe, Spill Simmer Falter Wither is a wholly different kind of love story, a conversation almost entirely told from one side, that spans the four seasons echoed in the novel s title. Written with tremendous empathy and insight, Baume s debut captures the incremental destructive essence of loneliness, and confirms the talent so emphatically acknowledged by the Davy Byrnes Award jury.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 某个周二，在我前往镇上的路上，你被透明胶带黏在杂乱无章的商店橱窗内侧，照片上你那残缺不全的脸庞，底下是你殷切的恳求：寻找一位有同情心的、宽宏大量的主人——一位没有其他宠物、没有四岁以下子女的主人。本书是一部与众不同的爱情小说，整个对话几乎都是从单方面叙述的，跨越了春夏秋冬四季，与小说的名字相呼应。凭借独到的视角和巨大的共鸣，Baume的处女作抓住了“孤独”的精华，确认了其在业界的地位，得到了同行的认可。（LYR）
