基兰·德赛,1971年出生于印度,15岁时定居英国,目前是美国哥伦比亚大学写作班的一名学生。德赛的母亲阿妮塔·德赛也是非常知名的作家,她自1980年起就曾三次进入布克奖的总决选名单,可惜从未折桂。阿妮塔曾经劝说女儿不要进入这个行列,理由是写作太难。而女儿最终以自己的成就给予母亲最大的安慰和回报。基兰·德赛的处女作《番石榴园的喧哗》曾受到各方的一致赞誉。2006年她凭借第二部长篇小说《失落》(The Inheritance of Loss,又译为《失落之遗产》)获得布克奖,成为有史以来赢得该奖项的最年轻的女作家。

评分作者写这部小说,构思了七年。她一直用博尔赫斯《宁静的自得》这首诗来鼓励自己的创作。而这首诗,现在也是我的最爱。 “光明的文字划过黑暗,比流星更为神奇。 认不出的城市在田野上显得更为高大。 我确信自己生死有命,瞅着那些野心勃勃的人, 试图对...
