內容簡介
透過窗戶,我擷取了夜晚安靜美好的姿態在一天的忙碌之後,睡前的小空檔,帶著狗狗,到外頭散個步走一走,沉澱心情 ,整理思緒吧。你會看見貓咪,遇到朋友,會經過一道道透著光的窗戶,像是翻著一頁頁的書冊,閱看著人和物的姿態。有人躺著看書,有人打掃庭院,有人端著食物給晚歸的家人;物品也不遑多讓,花草在窗邊伸展吐納,百頁窗和燈球合作出一幅圓和直線的線條畫…。你的眼,透過窗光,擷取一個個寧靜中帶有微動態的畫面,每個畫面說的是人和物迎接夜晚的儀式,那是夜晚出品,特有的風景。
非常適合睡前沉澱思緒的小品,有安靜穩定的力量喔!
Walking his dog at dusk, one boy catches glimpses of the lives around him in this lovely ode to autumn evenings, exploring your neighborhood, and coming home.
Before your city goes to sleep, you might head out for a walk, your dog at your side as you go out the door and into the almost-night. Anything can happen on such a walk: you might pass a cat, or a friend, or even an early raccoon. And as you go down your street and around the corner, the windows around you light up one by one until you are walking through a maze of paper lanterns, each one granting you a brief, glowing snapshot of your neighbors as families come together and folks settle in for the night. With a setting that feels both specific and universal and a story full of homages to The Snowy Day, Julia Denos and E. B. Goodale have created a singular book -- at once about the idea of home and the magic of curiosity, but also about how a sense of safety and belonging is something to which every child is entitled.
