书签收藏评论目录封面

After Bibi left, my mom took a little time off from work.

"We'll get through this together," she said.

But there were lots of things we could not do.

We could not call Bibi,

because she was away,

at the hospital,

taking care of her sick father.

We could not call Grandma Sadie, either.

Because Grandma Sadie

would ask me about Bibi.

We could not go to Roma Pizza.

Because Bibi loved Roma Pizza.

So Roma Pizza reminded me of Bibi.

We could not ride my bike.

Because Bibi helped pick out my bike.

So my bike reminded me of Bibi.

We could not go swimming at the gym.

Because Bibi was scared of swimming.

So swimming reminded me of Bibi.

Sometimes

after I told my mom what we could not do

she would ask,

"Is there anything that we can do?"

So I would let her read to me.

And bake cookies with me.

And take me to the Flatbush Avenue diner.

Because I didn't want her to get too cranky.

  • Desert Solitaire

    Desert Solitaire

    英文图书Rosetta
    First published in 1968, Desert Solitaire is one of Edward Abbey's most critically acclaimed works and marks his first foray into the world of nonfiction writing. Written while Abbey was working as a ranger at Arches National Park outside of Moab, Utah, Desert Solitaire is a rare view of one man's quest to experience nature in its purest form.Through prose that is by turns passionate and poetic, Abbey reflects on the condition of our remaining wilderness and the future of a civilization that cannot reconcile itself to living in the natural world as well as his own internal struggle with morality. As the world continues its rapid development, Abbey's cry to maintain the natural beauty of the West remains just as relevant today as when this book was written.
