想讀

在網上找到這本書, 八個故事的書, 名為"The Struggle for Happiness" by Ruthann Robson, 七年前的著作.

不, 我不是又在說那些什麼尋找快樂的著作, 而是, 當中一個故事, 內容簡介:

The story of a lesbian ballerina with hopes of dancing Giselle, "Pas de Deux" starts off with prickly, vague characters, but quickly warms up with some of the most surprising plot twists and poetic language in the book.

為了八個故事的其中一個故事而買? 我會的.

不過這回可能要在網上訂了.

其他故事:

"Black Squirrels": a disabled and displaced college professor plots ways to undermine the development of a shopping mall down the street from her rural home.

"Review": an overly zealous young writer submits her first book review--a savage critique of a new novel by an established writer--and learns with horror that the novelist has killed herself soon after reading it.

"Death of the Subject": a psychic tries to help her cop girlfriend unravel a local crime.

"Women's Music" begins with the interesting premise of a female rock star within a feminist community, but turns clumsily elegiac along the way.

Linked thematically, the stories in this collection explore the strivings -- for love, for belonging, for home, and for happiness.
