在詩集和散文之後，2020諾貝爾文學獎得主葛綠珂最不同以往的，精巧卻又恬靜的短篇故事。透過一對未滿一歲的雙胞胎女嬰，Marigold和Rose的感官，感知並探索這個世界。有趣的是，對世界尚無概念的兩人，想法看似迥異卻微妙地互補。葛綠珂藉嬰幼兒的雙眼，提供了一個認知和理解世界的可愛角度。Marigold and Rose is an enchanting, playful, and absolutely singular fable from the Nobel laureate and Pulitzer Prize winner Louise Glück.“Marigold was absorbed in her book; she had gotten as far as the V.” So begins Marigold and Rose, Louise Glück’s astonishing chronicle of the first year in the life of twin girls. Imagine a fairy tale that is also a multigenerational saga; a piece for two hands that is also a symphony; a poem that is also, in the spirit of Kafka’s Metamorphosis, an incandescent act of autobiography.Here are the elements you’d expect to find in a story of infant twins―Father and Mother; Grandmother and Other Grandmother; bath time and naptime―but more than that, Marigold and Rose is an investigation of the great mystery of language and of time itself, of what is and what has been and what will be. “Outside the playpen there

A haunting new book by a poet whose voice speaks of all our lifetimes.The 2020 Nobel Prize winner Louise Glück’s thirteenth book is among her most haunting. Here as in the Wild Iris there is a chorus, but the speakers are entirely human, simultaneously spectral and ancient. Winter Recipes from the Collective is chamber music, an invitation into that privileged realm small enough for the individual instrument to make itself heard, dolente, its line sustained, carried, and then taken up by the next instrument, spirited, animoso, while at the same time being large enough to contain a whole lifetime, the inconceivable gifts and losses of old age, the little princesses rattling in the back of a car, an abandoned passport, the ingredients of an invigorating winter sandwich, a sister’s death, the joyful presence of the sun, its brightness measured by the darkness it casts. “Some of you will know what I mean,” the poet says, by which she means, some of you will follow me. Hers is the
