Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《出发点》是一部带有讽刺幽默色彩的短篇小说集，曾获得1991年菲利普·k·迪克奖。帕特·墨菲的故事时而充满希望，时而充满绝望，从《恋爱中的蕾切尔》(Rachel in Love)中一只大脑被植入了一个已死去少女心怀的大黑猩猩，到作者之前较早的一部短篇小说《植物人的妻子》(His plant Wife)，中一个农民从一袋种子中培育出一个配偶，却发现她更安静，而不是温顺故事的延伸。除了一篇以外，本书中的19个故事都曾在杂志和选集上发表过。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：“There is something of Borges’s absurdist fables and of the fey, fog-haunted feel of Celtic myth to [Points of Departure]. This collection reverberates with the sound of the author’s unmistakable voice, a poetic blend of the everyday and the never-never.” —Elle
“Brilliant, passionate, and dangerous as only the clearest visions can be … Murphy creates seamless blends of ideas and emotions, holistic works where genres mingle so the reader does not stop to ask if this is sf, fantasy, or horror… . These tales unite the power of a force of nature with the subtlety of the human heart.” —Locus
