DAMN LOVE
Book ID/图书代码： 03890013B61637
English Summary/英文概要： Set in San Francisco and North Carolina, the linked stories in Damn Love introduce us to characters struggling with love in all its complicated forms, including a young doctor getting over a breakup with the help of a patient, a newly married gay man who reconnects with his estranged mother, a trio of physicists caught in a surprising love triangle, and a soldier who takes secrets with her to the Iraqi desert. Together, these stories report out from the fault lines of American life, uncertain territory where identity, risk, and desire co-mingle, and where reconciliation can be found in even the most flawed efforts to connect.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是发生在旧金山和北卡罗莱纳州的一系列情感故事，该书向我们介绍了在爱的各色形式中挣扎的人物形象，包括一位年轻医生在病人的帮助下度过了分手的伤痛，一位刚结婚的男同性恋者与他疏远的母亲再度联系，三个陷入令人惊讶的三角关系的物理学家，和一个带着秘密前往伊拉克沙漠的女兵。这一系列的故事反映出了美国人生活的断层和界限的模糊，身份、风险和欲望在这里交织，即使是不完满的努力，也能从中找到和谐。（Pêche）
Awards/获奖情况：“不管她是写关于同性恋或异性恋的关系,家庭关系或友谊的动态联系, Beach-Ferrara对众多类型的爱的探索精确地体现在了她的首本短篇集中。”——Kirkus Reviews
“《该死的爱》不仅仅是一连串故事的集合，更是一连串相关人物的集合，作者用平凡而强烈的热情写就并大胆的进行了大量渲染。”——The Great Night and The Children’s Hospital作者 Chris Adrian
“Jasmine Beach-Ferrara以非凡的权威,洞察力,和同情心,带领我们深入故事中错综复杂的关系网。Eudora Welty说这正是她将要去做的:‘不是对结论指手画脚，而是放了一层纱，像无形的阴影阻隔在人与人之间,让人对他人的存在、他人的困境漠不关心。’这是一次精彩的亮相。”——Maps of the Imagination: The Writer As Cartographer作者Peter Turchi
“Jasmine Beach-Ferrara系列故事的清新和看似简单的堆砌优雅会让你不由得屏住呼吸。《该死的爱》的重要性在于它精细真实地描绘了友谊和亲情,同性恋和异性恋,衡量了好人，试图在美国人的日常生活中找到认同。”——Mrs. Somebody Somebody 作者Tracy Winn
"Whether she’s writing about gay or straight relationships, the dynamics of family ties or friendships, Beach-Ferrara’s exploration of the numerous types of love are spot-on in her debut short story collection."—Kirkus Reviews
"Damn Love is much more than a collection of linked stories: it’s a collection of linked people, bound together in beautiful ordinary passion and rendered with exquisite generosity by a writer with a big, brave heart."—Chris Adrian, author, The Great Night and The Children’s Hospital
"With remarkable authority, insight, and compassion, Jasmine Beach-Ferrara leads us through a web of intricately-related lives in stories that achieve what Eudora Welty said she set out to do: “not to point the finger in judgment, but to part a curtain, that invisible shadow that falls between people, the veil of indifference to each other’s presence, each other’s human plight.” This is an extraordinary debut."—Peter Turchi, author, Maps of the Imagination: The Writer As Cartographer
"Jasmine Beach-Ferrara’s linked stories will sneak up and steal your breath away with their clear and seemingly easy accumulation of grace. Damn Love is important for its delicate, honest portrayals of friends and relations, gay and straight, measuring the good, and trying to find acceptance in everyday American life."—Tracy Winn, author, Mrs. Somebody Somebody
