F·S·菲茨傑拉德(Francis Scott Fitzgerald,1896—1940)
二十世紀美國最傑齣的作傢之一,以詩人和夢想傢的氣質為“爵士時代”吟唱華麗挽歌。短短四十四年的人生,他的遭際幾經跌宕起伏,在名利場中看盡世態炎涼。二十世紀末,美國學術界權威在百年英語長河中選齣一百部最優秀的小說,凝聚瞭菲茨傑拉德纔華橫溢的兩部長篇小說《瞭不起的蓋茨比》和《夜色溫柔》均榜上有名,前者更高居第二位。
In the wake of World War I, a community of expatriate American writers established itself in the salons and cafes of 1920s Paris. They congregated at Gertrude Stein's select soirees, drank too much, married none too wisely, and wrote volumes--about the war, about the Jazz Age, and often about each other. F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, were part of this gang of literary Young Turks, and it was while living in France that Fitzgerald began writing Tender Is the Night. Begun in 1925, the novel was not actually published until 1934. By then, Fitzgerald was back in the States and his marriage was on the rocks, destroyed by Zelda's mental illness and alcoholism. Despite the modernist mandate to keep authors and their creations strictly segregated, it's difficult not to look for parallels between Fitzgerald's private life and the lives of his characters, psychiatrist Dick Diver and his former patient turned wife, Nicole. Certainly the hospital in Switzerland where Zelda was committed in 1929 provided the inspiration for the clinic where Diver meets, treats, and then marries the wealthy Nicole Warren. And Fitzgerald drew both the European locale and many of the characters from places and people he knew from abroad.
In the novel, Dick is eventually ruined--professionally, emotionally, and spiritually--by his union with Nicole. Fitzgerald's fate was not quite so novelistically neat: after Zelda was diagnosed as a schizophrenic and committed, Fitzgerald went to work as a Hollywood screenwriter in 1937 to pay her hospital bills. He died three years later--not melodramatically, like poor Jay Gatsby in his swimming pool, but prosaically, while eating a chocolate bar and reading a newspaper. Of all his novels, Tender Is the Night is arguably the one closest to his heart. As he himself wrote, "Gatsby was a tour de force, but this is a confession of faith." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
据说《了不起的盖茨比》被称为美国唯一的一部完美无暇的小说。呵呵,确实这部小说够完美的,但至于是不是唯一的我就不清楚了。任何一个作家在写完了这样一部小说后都会感到焦虑吧?有些作家会生活在前辈的阴影下写作,打倒狄更斯,或者托尔斯泰,再不行就喊着Pass北岛之类的,...
評分 評分装桢的这么舒服,文字上就没人多把关吗? 好多句子都读不通,本来作者的文字风格就比较绕,这看着也太难为人了。 装桢的这么舒服,文字上就没人多把关吗? 好多句子都读不通,本来作者的文字风格就比较绕,这看着也太难为人了。
評分与菲茨杰拉德相遇甚晚而一见钟情,所以我不理解自己为什么不喜欢村上春村,因为菲氏对村上影响至深。菲氏的文风属于他那个时代,因华美绚烂而愈显脆弱,因繁荣盛极而备觉落寞,《了不起的盖茨比》正是这种文风的极致体现,而那个时代,也由于他的加持被标记为“爵士时代...
