书籍简介

费伯故事系列是一系列具有里程碑意义的单行本，汇集了短篇小说大师们在各种体裁和风格中的作品。大卫·米恩斯在其精湛的故事《埃及河》中描绘了一个瞬间。卡瓦诺和他的小儿子被困在护士所说的“汗蒸房”里，孩子要接受囊性纤维化的检测。卡瓦诺带来了些消遣的东西——痉挛的玩偶、变形的玩具卡车——但这些对缓解病童的尖叫和等待诊断结果时的焦虑毫无作用。在我们九十周年之际，费伯故事系列汇集了值得收藏的作品，将过去、现在和未来融为一体，是一份值得庆祝的文集。

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. In his masterful story 'A River in Egypt', David Means paints a portrait of a moment. Cavanaugh and his young son are suspended; trapped in what a nurse calls 'the sweat chamber', where the boy will be tested for cystic fibrosis. Cavanaugh has brought distractions - spasmodic action figures, malformed toy trucks - but they do little to alter the frustration of the sick child screaming, or to alleviate the anxiety of the time spent waiting for 'some exactitude in the form of a diagnosis'. Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.
