Fun with Problems（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　In “Fun with Problems, “Robert Stone demonstrates once again
that he is “one of our greatest living writers” (“Los Angeles
Times”).”” The stories in this new collection share the signature
blend of longing, violence, and black humor with which Stone
illuminates the dark corners of the human soul. Entire lives are
laid bare with remarkable precision, in captivating prose: a
screenwriter carries on a decades-long affair with a beautiful
actress, whose descent into addiction he can neither turn from nor
share; a bored husband picks up a mysterious woman only to find
that his ego has led him woefully astray; a world-beating Silicon
Valley executive receives an unwelcome guest at his mansion in the
hills; a scuba dive takes uneasy newlyweds to a point of no
return.” Fun with Problems” showcases Stone’s great gift: to
pinpoint and make real the impulses–by turns violently coercive
and quietly seductive–that cause us to conceal, reveal, and betray
our truest selves.
