註釋From unremitting darkness to deadpan wit, Anthony Lynch'sspare, Carver-like stories capture people on theperiphery: neighbours bear quiet witness to each others'ruptures and couplings, two brothers go fishing but onlyone comes home, a car accident steers a life in adifferent direction. A first-time traveller findsterritory not covered in guidebooks, a tram stop becomesthe platform for a wordless separation. These beautifullyobserved stories are seldom set where the obvious actionis, but hover forever on the threshold: places whereredemption and laughter might not always be invited in,but might nonetheless find their way around the back.Anthony Lynch writes as a master of the psychological andspatial in-between.
