内容简介

AMY HuNT ALWAYS associated the long cold winter of I936
with her passion for Herman Fidler. She saw herself in the big
bay window of the living room of Cousin Dolly s apartment on
East 8oth Street in Manhattan??? looking down on the mottled
black and white of the slushy snow. People hurried east and
west??? pushing against the cutting wind??? scarfs muffling their
faces??? heads down in charging posture. The dark oblongs of car
roofs moved slowly down the street??? turning uncertainly on the
skiddy corner like blocks pushed by a huge invisible infant.
Behind her was a fire in the grate under a Whistler etching of
the Grand Canal??? a bright crackling fire before which Cousin
Dolly was reading a volume of Emily Dickinson.
