BED

Book ID/图书代码： 08885007B12418

English Summary/英文概要： College students, recent graduates, and their parents work at Denny’s, volunteer at a public library in suburban Florida, attend satanic ska/punk concerts, eat Chinese food with the homeless of New York City, and go to the same Japanese restaurant in Manhattan three times in two sleepless days, all while yearning constantly for love, a better kind of love, or something better than love, things which - much like the Lock Ness Monster - they know probably do not exist, but are rumored to exist and therefore "good enough."

Bed is a medium-sized book of nine stories. Each story is a professional, Best American Short Stories-style, 20-page short story with professionally-constructed themes, realistic yet "engaging" narrative arcs, and an attention to language both noticeable and unobtrusive.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 這一群人為了尋找愛而來--
一群大學生和應屆畢業生們與他們在Denny’s速食店打工的父母一同參加了撒旦朋克音樂會，就連福羅裏達州郊區公共圖書館的志願者們也趕來湊熱鬧。
他們與紐約街頭無家可歸的流浪漢一同分享中國美食，又去曼哈頓的一家日本餐廳徹夜狂歡。這些人在尋找愛，他們渴望更美好的愛，或是某種超越了愛的事物。就如傳說中尼斯湖水怪那樣溫暖美好的故事，它也許並不存在；在這裏，人們寧願相信它的存在。
短篇小說集《床》包含了9個故事，每個故事都擁有美國最佳短篇小說的風格與獨特的主題，在現實背景中穿插著不可思議的情節，文筆優美，引人入勝。(RH & SL)

“Tao Lin writes from moods that less radical writers would let pass—from laziness, from vacancy, from boredom. And it turns out that his report from these places is moving and necessary, not to mention frequently hilarious.”---Miranda July, author of No One Belongs Here More Than You
