约翰•厄普代克(John Updike,1932.3.18—2009.1.27),集小说家、诗人、剧作家、散文家和评论家于一身的美国当代文学大师,作品两获普利策奖和国家图书奖,获得欧•亨利奖等其他众多奖项多达十数次。“性爱、宗教和艺术”是厄普代克毕生追求的创作标的,“美国人、基督徒、小城镇和中产阶级”则是厄普代克独擅胜场的创作主题,他由此成为当之无愧的美国当代中产阶级的灵魂画师,被誉为“美国的巴尔扎克”。

When this classic collection of stories first appeared—in 1962, on the author’s thirtieth birthday—Arthur Mizener wrote in The New York Times Book Review: “Updike is a romantic [and] like all American romantics, that is, he has an irresistible impulse to go in memory home again in order to find himself. . . . The precise recollection of his own family-love, parental and marital, is vital to him; it is the matter in which the saving truth is incarnate. . . . Pigeon Feathers is not just a book of very brilliant short stories; it is a demonstration of how the most gifted writer of his generation is coming to maturity; it shows us that Mr. Updike’s fine verbal talent is no longer pirouetting, however gracefully, out of a simple delight in motion, but is beginning to serve his deepest insight.”
