出版商概要
Praise for "The River Swimmer" <br>"In his fiction, especially, [Harrison has] hit a deep groove. His meditations on mortality are blended with an antic wit. . . . Mr. Harrison's new book, "The River Swimmer" . . . contains some of the best writing of his career. Both novellas burn brightly with what he calls, at one point, 'unmitigated cupidity, ' not for money or possessions but for life and experience. . . .

Here, he's achieved a mood that approximates in modern terms the tranquility of Shakespeare's late romances. The existential uncertainties that always animate Harrison's fiction are not so much resolved as accepted for what they are: the basic fabric of existence, from which we pluck as much happiness as we can."--Wendy Smith, "The Washington Post" <br>"[Harrison's] latest book of novellas . . .deepens 再讀一些...
