书籍介绍
这并非又一部《冰与火之歌》的衍生品，而是一份关于「成长」的原始档案。读者翻开它，最先撞见的不是成熟大师的光环，而是一个四色漫画迷、一个青涩笨拙的青年：开头几篇被直言「挺烂」，科幻「只能算及格」，连巨龙都「不比鸵鸟强多少」。但正是这种从习作到名作的爬升，构成了本书最独特的价值——它让你亲眼目睹一个作家如何在《莱安娜之歌》《灰烬之塔》《沙王》里迅速蜕变，最终铸就后来的史诗。马丁几乎写尽了他一生的母题：孤独。书中区分了「两种孤独」——一种是被人群包围的喧嚣之孤，另一种是独自面对浩瀚宇宙、群星冷冽的寂灭之孤。若你想知道那个写出权谋与龙的人，最初为何如此执着于「自我与孤独」，这本书提供了近乎唯一的答案。

精彩摘录
- "“Yes,” he said. “In the old days, when the roads were crowded, you couldn’t just turn around when you missed an exit. You had to keep going, sometimes for miles and miles, before you could find a way to get off the road and then get back on. Some of the cloverleaves they designed were so complicated"
- "A few miles beyond San Breta I stopped and got out of the car. I sat there in the starlight until it was nearly dawn, looking and listening. But the lights stayed out, and I saw nothing. Yet, around midnight, there was a peculiar whistling sound in the distance. It built quickly, until it was right "
- "And it wasn’t really an impulse. I ran to Cerberus. Ran. Ran to escape from loneliness. That doesn’t make sense? Yet it does. I know about loneliness. It’s been the theme of my life. I’ve been alone for as long as I can remember. But there are two kinds of loneliness. Most people don’t realize the d"
- "The nightmares have a bite of truth to them. They’re all the same. It’s always a replay of me and Karen, together on that last night. It was a good night, as nights went for me. We ate at one of my favorite restaurants, and went to a show. We talked together easily, about many things. We laughed tog"
- "It’s beautiful out here. Lonely, yes. But such a loneliness! You’re alone with the universe, the stars spread out at your feet and scattered around your head. Each one is a sun, yet they still look cold to me. I find myself shivering, lost in the vastness of it all, wondering how it got there and wh"
- "... I made a solemn vow that I would not give up."
- ""Think back on all the ghost stroies you read as a kid. What did they all have in common?" I frowned. "Don't know." "Violent death, that's what. Ghosts were the products of murders and of executions, debris of blood and violence. Haunted houses were all places where someone had met a grisly end a hu"

老爷子的各类短篇集合，能看到技巧和语言从说得过去到日臻成熟，再到有点软熟……嘛，大部分还是挺有意思值得一看的，如果不是有几篇确实在其他文集里重复了，以及居然连个目录都没有查找某篇文章好麻烦，大概我会添颗星的吧……我最喜欢的居然是那几篇关于孤独和写作感觉（《子女的肖像》）的，共鸣感很强……反正沙王是不想再看一遍了（眼前一黑）
打个友情分，虽然看的不是这版

以为是纯粹的小说集，实际上更接近作者对自己创作生涯的介绍与总结。单作为小说来看的话水平参差，以前看过的沙王和雇佣骑士仍是最优秀的两篇，此外第三卷里的狼皮交易、局中变与子女的肖像也很赞。莱安娜之歌和灰烬之塔读着有种莫名的熟悉感，让人想起自己的中二年华（喂）；第二卷里的几个奇幻短篇意外地都不怎么好看；那几篇恐怖小说还算不错但我实在不喜欢这种文类；前几篇新手习作……唔也许马丁粉和研究者会喜欢吧= =
读了中卷 但也觉得挺够的了 以后再补读上下卷吧 中卷的几个中短篇真的挺精彩的 让人手不释卷 前天晚上看到凌晨 我会乱说吗？_(:з」∠)_ 乔治大叔毕竟是全职作家 想要赚钱就必须迎合大众 《冰与火之歌》就是比较迎合大众的作品了 还是早些时候的作品更能看出乔治大叔真正想写的世界吧
没目录反人类
参差不齐是很大的缺点
马丁我求求你多写点奇幻吧
真正的天才之作，除了最早期的创作之外，都非常的好。越到后来文风越显成熟稳定，越是有行云流水之感。非常好！
删你吗呢，我买书连个完整的选集都看不了是吧
满足，除了没有目录和肉院情人
求书
