YOUNG SKINS: STORIES
Book ID/图书代码： 00200014B69303
English Summary/英文概要： This magnificent collection takes us to Glanbeigh, a small town in rural Ireland - a town in which the youth have the run of the place. Boy racers speed down the back lanes; couples haunt the midnight woods; young skins huddle in the cold once The Peacock has closed its doors. Here the young live hard and wear the scars. It matters whose sister you were seen with. If you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, it matters a very great deal.
Colin Barrett’s debut does not take us to Glanbeigh alone; there are other towns, and older characters. But each story is defined by a youth lived in a crucible of menace and desire - and each crackles with the uniform energy and force that distinguish this terrific collection.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这部精彩的选集将带领我们前往爱尔兰的一座乡间小镇格兰贝荫---在这座小镇里青春自由地出入各地。男孩子们争相冲下草地；情侣们在林间午夜散步；一旦虚荣之门关闭，这些年轻的皮囊们便蜷缩在寒冷的角落里。这里的年轻人们都艰难的生活着，背负着各自的伤痕。你所见之人至关重要。而如果你在错误的时间出现在了错误的地方，那么后果将会变得十分严重。
科林•巴瑞特的这部处女作小说作品并不仅仅带着我们来到了格兰贝荫；书中还会提及其他小镇，以及一些大家更为熟悉的角色。但每一个故事中都会有一名年轻的主人公，在威胁和欲望的交织中生活---但每一个人却又充满着同样的能量，使其能够在这个可怕的故事选集中脱颖而出。(DC)

‘Colin Barrett’s sentences are lyrical and tough and smart, but there is something more here that makes him a really good writer. His stories are set in a familiar emotional landscape, but they give us endings that are new. What seems to be about sorrow and foreboding turns into an adventure, instead, in the tender art of the unexpected.’ Anne Enright
‘These stories are moving and memorable and show a writer who understands people, place and the effects of porter on the human psyche’ – Irish Independent
