Annie Proulx的新书

这期 NY Times Sunday Book Review里有一篇关于 Annie Proulx新书 Fine Just the Way It Is（Wyoming Stories 3 怀俄明故事集三） 的书评，读到下面一段时，难掩兴奋，迫不及待要去图书馆借来一睹为快。

But each of these collections (Wyoming Stories: Close Rang, Bad Dirt, Fine Just the Way It Is) bears Proulx’s brand of hard drama, hard irony, hard weather, and hard and soft characters blown about and many times destroyed by the powerful mix. Her sense of story is admirable, her sentences are artful, and she writes like a demon. She has nicely disrupted the mythology of the Old West.

还有两本值得期待的新书：

Anne Enright的爱尔兰短篇集 Yesterday’s Weather；

廖以武《中国底层访谈录》的英译本 The Corpse Walker，这本访谈录（上下两册）据说在大陆成为禁书，台湾麦田的版本分为三卷，分别是“黑牢访谈录”、“民间访谈录”和“文人访谈录”。
