商品描述内容简介A New York Review Books Original
Winner of the 2009 Bernard Shaw Prize for Translation
Two women, both artists, no longer young, live and work on opposite sides of a large apartment building, their studios connected by an attic passageway. They have loved and argued for decades, long enough to anticipate the other's next words and to guess her next move. Yet no matter how many times they've played the game, it is always capable of surprising them.
Tove Jansson tells the women's story in a series of brief, spare episodes, which bear the fitness of parable and the nuance of portraiture. We see the two as they watch Fassbinder films and B Westerns, critique each other's works in progress, spend time on a solitary island (recognizable to readers of Jansson'sThe Summer Book), and travel through the American Southwest. The type of love story that is rarely told,Fair Playis a revelatory depiction of contentment, hard-won and exhilarating.媒体推荐“A book about love-tender, eccentric and fiercely independent. It feels a privilege to read it.” -Esther Freud
