Loneliness is a sad reality of modern life. Social media connect us to more people than ever, yet many of us feel cut off from others. In the US, health experts are warning of a “loneliness epidemic(流行病)”after half
of Americans, particularly young adults, admitted to feeling socially isolated(与世隔绝的)．
Research links loneliness to an increased risk of depression, heart disease, and even premature death. One study suggests it can be as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
Ironically, crowded cities can be the hardest places of all to find human connection. The German sociologist Georg Simmel observed this phenomenon more than a century ago, writing, “
One__nowhere__feels__as__lonely__and__lost__as__in__the__metropolitan(

的)__crowd.” While there are plenty of apps to help people in the city make connections, one organization is trying a more low-tech approach to dealing with loneliness—street listening.
Trained volunteers from Sidewalk Talk put up signs on the street that say “Free Listening” and offer passersby the chance to share their troubles while they listen. Psychotherapist Traci Ruble started the “community listening project” in San Francisco, California in 2015, and it now has 1，000 volunteers in 29 US cities and 10 countries. Ruble believes that we, as a society, badly need more face-to-face contact, which is why Sidewalk Talk volunteers sit in chairs facing the person they’re listening to.
“Loneliness shortens our lifespan ... we are meant to be in contact with each other，”Ruble says in a video about the project.“People have really gotten caught up in looking at cellphones more than faces, and I want to change that.”She adds that the volunteers“aren’t out there to fix anything for anyone”—Sidewalk Talk isn’t a professional counseling service—they are simply offering“human connection”．

Gene Wolfe is one of the most admired and respected American science fiction and fantasy writers. He is also a productive writer of outstanding short fiction, which is collected in many volumes over the last forty years, most recently in The Best of Gene Wolfe.
Although Wolfe is not as well-known to readers as he once was, he has been the receiver of great praise, including three World Fantasy Awards, two Nebulas, and eight Hugo Award nominations(提名). Sci-fi author Harlan Ellison has called him, “no less than one of the finest, most original writers in the world today”， and the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction names him “quite possibly the most important” writer in the field of science fiction.
Born in 1931, New York, Gene Wolfe moved frequently as a child, but spent most of his growing-up years in Texas. Wolfe began writing fiction in 1956, selling his first story, The Dead Man, to Sir magazine in 1965. He produced a vast amount of short fiction during the 1960s and 1970s, many of which were published in Damon Knight’s Orbit anthologies. In 1972 Wolfe’s groundbreaking The Fifth Head of Cerberus appeared. The story of human conquest(征服) upon two distant planets, the book examines issues of identity, individuality, and the results of colonialism(殖民主义) upon both the colonized and the colonizer. The novel was later listed in David Pringle’s 1985 list of The 100 Best Novels in science fiction for the period 1949－1984.
Many of his novels, The Shadow of the Torturer included, rely on a diary or letter to tell his story. In addition, Wolfe’s early interest in mystery novels shines through in his ability to drop
cleverly hidden clues that allow the reader to grasp at the possible narrative behind the narrative.
By 1984 Wolfe was able to retire and devote himself full-time to his writing.Yet despite(尽管) all this, and despite the continuing respect of his colleagues, his work has become somewhat unfamiliar. Wolfe’s admirers hope this fact will be at least somewhat improved by his most recent offering, The Wizard Knight, which falls within the fantasy type that is currently popular.
