Book ID/图书代码： 01890007B14951
English Summary/英文概要： The four things you can?t live without: air, water,shelter, sleep. More questions. The last book you read: none Sexual preferences: I hesitated on that one. An internet blind date; a fuck buddy; a man who is writing a book called The Adulterer?s Guide; a couple venturing out on their first foursome; a man waiting to see his children again after a divorce; a woman planning to seduce a friend?s husband. Frank, witty, disturbing and ultimately compassionate, The Last Book You Read marks the debut of a powerful new voice. These stories tell of people caught between places and lovers, between the USA and Scotland, between desire, addiction and regret. From this collection emerges a singular picture of modern-day relationships, their conflicts and passions. Male or female; gay or straight; young or old; married, single or divorced - the difficult loves of the contemporary urban world are charted with clarity and assurance.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 人要活命，需要四種必要元素：空氣、水、住所和睡眠。還有問題，你讀的最後一本書會是？故事的人物沒有性取向？我對此很猶豫。關於網絡相親的故事？寫一本叫做《The Adulterer’s Guide》的男人？一對第一次嘗試“四人組”的夫妻，一個離婚後想見孩子的父親；一個想勾引朋友丈夫的女人。作者用坦誠、睿智、讓人不安和充滿同情的態度為平時不願或不能發言的人說出自己的心聲。這些故事刻畫的都是平凡地點、在美國或是蘇格蘭，糾結于慾望、上癮和悔恨中的人們。書中展現了現代社會中的關係，其中的衝突和熱情。男人與女人、同性戀和異性戀、年輕和年老人、單身、已婚和離婚的人們，以及當代城市中處於困境中的戀人們，他們的之間的衝突和聯繫，作者都做了清晰的分析。（Celia）
