我猜,很多爱读书的人都对文学创作者的写作生活充满好奇,而这些人又很少谈及自己如何创作。正如我喜欢的一位作家——木心先生,在他的一部谈创作的书——《木心谈木心》中所说:“最杀手的拳,老师不教的——写作的秘密。” 不给学生教的杀手拳,又怎会随便打给普通读者看。...
评分这本书是家书类书籍中不太寻常的一类,我也是从不同的角度来阅读这部家书。对比《傅雷家书》,《梁启超家书》(我仅读过的两本)来看,也许这就是不同文化的差异。傅雷和梁启超两位大家都是从家长的角度,以一个“经验丰富”的长辈的口气,或严肃或和蔼,来把自己希望的情感和...
评分从没有自我意识的小动物,我们慢慢长大,成长为懵懂少年,成为欲念、野心齐飞的青年,再成为有独立意志和情感的成年人。再翻一页,我们又要孕育一个个软弱无力的小动物、小天使了;他/她们将重新演绎人类的发展史。 我相信,人是有两次生命的,一次是为着自己,另一次是为着他...

图书标签: 书信 V.S.Naipaul 英文原版 英国文学 作品 BetweenFatherandSon @kindle
V. S. Naipaul is perhaps the most famous émigré writer since Vladimir Nabokov, and though he always spoke and wrote English, his self-imposed exile to England from his native Trinidad represented a cultural shift as profound as learning to think in another language. In this moving, novel-like correspondence, we witness the great writer’s early transformation from an expatriate adrift to a world-renowned man of letters.
The letters collected here illuminate with unalloyed candor the relationship between a sacrificing father and his determined son as they encourage each other to persevere with their writing. For though his father’s literary aspirations would go unrealized, Naipaul’s triumphant career would ultimately vindicate his beloved mentor’s legacy.
