Cat in Glass
The eight tales in this collection by Nancy Etchemendy weave great suspense with interesting plots and unusual characters. "Lunch at Etienne's" is a story narrated by a woman who is surrounded by death but doesn't seem to realize it. "Cat in Glass" is about a mysterious, malevolent sculpted cat that commits gruesome murders and is told from the point of view of the sculpture's frightened and bewildered owner. There is also "The Sailor's Bargain", a captivating story about an orphan whose haunting dreams lead to a stark revelation of another life, and "The Lily and the Weaver's Heart", in which a one-eyed Jacinth dares to take her place in a cruel world by risking a journey that is usually reserved for the most able-bodied men of the culture.我寄人间白满头
我的一生很短,也不过二十载,穷极一生所追及的人,像是做不完的梦,连死了也解脱不了。我有两个哥哥。和一个世间最好看的啊姐。还有……还有我欢喜了整个年少的未婚夫。但也只是年少,待我成年时。他便是我这世间最厌恶,最恨的人了。后来,我死了,成了鬼,成了人人害怕的孤魂野鬼。隔着一面墙,他在墙的那一边,我在墙的这一边。他的院子里有两棵梅花树,倚着那面墙,墙的另一边是我的院子,那株梅花枝便偷偷的伸过我的院子。后来,大火烧了我院子,连着偷偷那一株伸过来的梅花枝。我死的那一日,正是他大婚之日,墙的那边鼓乐齐鸣,爆竹震天。墙的这边,我呆呆的望着那一株开得正烈的梅花。恍然想起他是我哥哥们为我寻的如意郎君。于是我翻过墙,打晕了那凤冠霞帔的新娘子,换了她的衣衫,低眉垂眼沿床坐,然后在那龙凤烛影摇红里,他惊愕的眼神中,我捅了他一刀。他大概是死了吧,我想。我便又翻回了我的院子,在屋上中间的那根大圆柱子系了条白绫,上吊之前,我踢倒了桌上的蜡烛。其实那日翻墙回来时,我偷偷饮了那铺着红布桌子上的喜酒。――若你侥幸不死,便当我喝了你的喜酒,祝伉俪情深,祝白头。姓名学(历代经典文丛)

This is a dazzling collection of occasional writings by the Nobel Prize-winning novelist on subjects ranging from Thermopylae to the English Channel, and from Coral Island to Jules Verne. "e;A book of occasional essays which afford us many fascinating insights into Golding the man…It is highly individual yet profoundly modest; it has an unusual, slightly angular candour, full of painful knowledge and a beautiful humanity …event the slightest piece bears the mark of his rare, austere mind, his remarkable imagination…Even these occasional essays are enough to remind us that …there is not, at the moment, a writer to touch him"e;.
