安妮·法迪曼(Anne Fadiman),生于美国纽约市,在康涅狄格州和洛杉矶长大,毕业于哈佛大学。毕业后,她在怀俄明州当野外探险向导,后来回到纽约从事写作。曾任《生活》杂志的特约撰稿人,《文明》杂志编辑和《美国学人》编辑。她的第一本书《鬼怪抓住你,你就跌倒了》(The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down,FSG,1997)获“美国国家书评奖”,她还写有随笔集《书趣》(Ex Libris),编有《经典重温》(Rereadings,FSG,2005)等作品。她现与家人住在马萨诸塞州西部,并担任耶鲁大学弗朗西斯住校作家。
Anne Fadiman is--by her own admission--the sort of person who learned about sex from her father's copy of "Fanny Hill," whose husband buys her 19 pounds of dusty books for her birthday, and who once found herself poring over her roommate's 1974 Toyota Corolla manual because it was the only written material in the apartment that she had not read at least twice. This witty collection of essays recounts a lifelong love affair with books and language. For Fadiman, as for many passionate readers, the books she loves have become chapters in her own life story. Writing with remarkable grace, she revives the tradition of the well-crafted personal essay, moving easily from anecdotes about Coleridge and Orwell to tales of her own pathologically literary family. As someone who played at blocks with her father's 22-volume set of Trollope ("My Ancestral Castles") and who only really considered herself married when she and her husband had merged collections ("Marrying Libraries"), she is exquisitely well equipped to expand upon the art of inscriptions, the perverse pleasures of compulsive proof-reading, the allure of long words, and the satisfactions of reading out loud. There is even a foray into pure literary gluttony--Charles Lamb liked buttered muffin crumbs between the leaves, and Fadiman knows of more than one reader who literally consumes page corners. Perfectly balanced between humor and erudition, "Ex Libris" establishes Fadiman as one of our finest contemporary essayists.
我们每个人都会象巨大的蜗牛般留下痕迹。 一直都写不好书评,反省原因,不外乎没有耐性,无法慢慢阐述书本本身,只顾着抒发自己的感受。 但书给人的最宝贵的东西,不就是这些吗? 下面的东西,与《书趣》几乎没有关系,但又都是书趣——书引发的,属于我自己的小趣味。 人如...
评分读书:世上最幸福的事情 读安妮 法迪曼《书趣—一个普通读者的自白》 好久没有这样手不释卷一口气读完一本书了,就在读到最后的《二手文章》时,才恍然大悟原来早就“认识”她了:那是在读董桥先生的那部绒面精...
评分要说这个暑假最大的收获,就是一本一本买了不少书,还能够看了其中的三分之一强。 下午把上班的爸爸和山山送走,又给上班的姐姐打了慰问电话,发短信给上班的妈妈。 然后不上班的我,就开始擦地,对于擦地这件事,我只会像一休哥那样,还没有人家那么熟练。 所以,在擦了厨...
评分可能是因为自己是从业于滑雪攀岩登山设备运动公司的原因,我喜欢书的《我的特别书架》这一章节。威尔逊的日记很打动我,恰好2012年7月9日,严冬冬先生因为山难离开,想到此章节更是潸然泪下。我把喜欢的这一章节,工工整整抄在了笔记本上,值得记下并铭记。
评分这本书的副标题是——“一个普通读者的自白”。 作者安妮·法迪曼出生书香门第,父亲、母亲、哥哥、老公都是作家、学问家,家族藏书过万应该是没有问题的。这样的一个人谦称自己为普通读者,叫我们这些喜欢瞎看一气的三脚猫们情何以堪啊。 当然,她这么说也不是过分的谦虚,...
Quirky and interesting at times, and the rest of the time..what an tiresome pedantic show-off!
评分The book starts with this: When the Irish novelist John Mcgahern was a child, his sisters unlaced and removed one of his shoes while he was reading. He did not stir. They placed a straw hat on his head. No response. Only when they took away the wooden chair on which he was sitting did he, as he puts it, "wake out of the book." I was such a child -- and I was such a child.
评分穷人啊穷人
