书籍简介

九个丰富多彩、常常有趣且感人的故事揭示了人类内心的复杂运作。

比尔·鲁巴赫塑造了生动的人物，他们多层次的内心世界让人感觉既熟悉又非凡。他首次以《大弯》同名小说获得欧·亨利奖而出名，该小说是他的第1部作品集，并获得了弗兰纳里奥康纳奖。他的新作品集《湖中女孩》捕捉到了一位高峰时期的大师。

鲁巴赫笔下的人物令人难忘：其中包括一个爱冒险的男孩，当一位年迈的贵族向他讲述历史时，他了解到了勇气的真正含义；一对夫妇在山间徒步旅行，他们的假期和关系以灾难性的方式结束；一个少年被三个姐妹同时追求；一个技术天才，因为多年前偷来的吻而对妻子和好朋友实施报复。

这些感人而有趣的故事与比尔·鲁巴赫的小说一样，范围广泛、情感丰富、令人难忘。人们称他为“一个更加善良、温和的约翰·欧文……一个充满人性、有趣的故事讲述者，文笔流畅优美”（《华盛顿邮报》）；他的作品被描述为“既搞笑又令人心碎，既疯狂又睿智”（《Parade》杂志）；而这一切在这本引人入胜的新集子里的每个故事中都充分体现了出来（还有红心、梅花和方块）。

 Nine richly varied, often funny, always moving stories that reveal the complex workings of the human heart.

Bill Roorbach conjures vivid characters whose layered interior worlds feel at once familiar and extraordinary. He first made his mark as the winner of an O. Henry Prize for the title story of Big Bend, his first collection, which won the Flannery O'Connor Award. His new collection, The Girl of the Lake, captures a virtuoso in his prime.

Roorbach's characters are unforgettable: among them an adventurous boy who learns what courage really is when an aging nobleman recounts history to him; a couple hiking through the mountains whose vacation and relationship ends; a teenager being pursued by three sisters all at once; a tech genius who exacts revenge on his wife and best friend over a stolen kiss from years past.

These moving and funny stories are as rich in scope, emotional, and memorable as Bill Roorbach's novels. He has been called "a kinder, gentler John Irving... a humane and entertaining storyteller with a smooth, graceful style" (the Washington Post), and his work has been described as "hilarious and heartbreaking, wild and wise" (Parade magazine), all of which is evident in spades (and also hearts, clubs, and diamonds) in every story in this arresting new collection.
