MAEVE’ S TIMES
Book ID/图书代码： 03035014B68614
English Summary/英文概要： ’As someone who fell off a chair not long ago trying to hear they what they were saying at the next table in a restaurant, I suppose I am obsessively interested in what some might consider the trivia of other people’s lives’
Maeve Binchy is well-known for her bestselling novels, the most recent of which was A WEEK IN WINTER. But for many years Maeve was a journalist, writing for The Irish Times.
From ’The Student Train’ to ’Plane Bores’, ’Bathroom Joggers’ to ’When Beckett met Binchy’, these articles have all the warmth, wit and humanity of her fiction. Arranged in decades, from the 1960s to the 2000s, and including Maeve’s first and last ever piece of writing for The Irish Times, the columns also give a fascinating insight into the author herself.
With an introduction written by her husband, the writer Gordon Snell, this collection of timeless writing reminds us of why the leading Irish writer was so universally loved.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： ‘正如不久前某人想要努力听到饭店内邻桌的谈话内容而从椅上跌落一样，我想我也会有时对他人的生活琐事八卦一下。’
梅芙•宾奇因其近期发表的一部小说《冬日一周》而闻名。但梅芙曾是一位身兼多年的《爱尔兰时报》的记者。
从‘学生训练’到‘飞机孔’，‘浴室慢跑者’到‘贝克特遇见宾奇’，这些所有温馨而又充满睿智和人性的温暖小说横跨了数十年的岁月，一直从上世纪60年代进入至千禧年，这其中包含了梅芙的首部处女作，和她生前给《爱尔兰时报》撰写的每篇文摘，这些专栏也让我们读者得以一窥这位爱尔兰国宝级女性作家的另一神奇一面。
随着其夫，作家戈登•斯奈尔的简介，这部划时代意义的汇集之作，让我们明白为何这位爱尔兰版‘琼瑶’阿姨会如此受宠的原因。(Sandy)
