New York Stories穿過紐約縫隙: New York Stories

About this book書籍介紹

These stories were written in New York over twenty-eight years, from love stories begun in 1994 to immigrant narratives of 2022. Many grew from people Sonia Hu met and experiences she heard about, turning encounters, fragile romances and the struggle to build a life into fiction.本書收錄胡桃在紐約陸續寫成的故事，從1994年的愛情故事到2022年的移民故事，跨越二十八年。多篇小說源自作者親自遇見的人與聽來的經歷，將城市中的相遇、脆弱的浪漫與生存掙扎化為文學。

New York is the collection’s principal setting, alongside stories taking place in China. Through emotional entanglements, personal loss and changing circumstances, Hu considers how writing can preserve the memory of an era. Recording what people see, feel and think becomes a way to leave traces of lives that time will otherwise carry away.作品以紐約為主要背景，也包含發生在中國的故事。透過情感糾葛、失落與人生變化，作者思考文字如何保存一個時代的記憶。在時光的縫隙中記錄所見、所感與所想，為終將逝去的生命留下痕跡。
