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.
无处不在的平淡中不时渗透出读书的乐趣、闪烁着人生的哲理。 “从书中醒来”,已经很久没有这种令人愉悦的感觉——那该是一种多么优雅的姿势——抬起眼皮,可以想象一下。 扉页题词?——从来也没有。互相赠送书籍真的是一种很高雅的表达关爱的方式。印象里,父亲送了一本新...
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,...
评分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...
评分当安妮法迪曼的《书趣》中文译本还是newly published的时候,我因为封面和书名买下来,事实上那一整套书都很漂亮很讨人喜欢。书里第一篇essay就是 书的婚事 。我不记得那本书上留着我当时的什么感想,但此刻我觉得,那描述的是我能想到最浪漫的事。 二十多年前,我爸爸和我妈...
评分这本书我最早看的是繁体,简体出版我已经等了好多年了。 那时我还在上大学。我清楚的记得,对这本书的热爱让我在一个暑假跑到国图不外借的图书室里,一字一句的想要将它敲出来——影印每张要2块钱。 当然这和我所有的兴趣爱好一样,在持续了不到3章后就放弃了。 这么多年后...
每读完一篇都要把书抱在怀里,沉浸在结识a new true friend的幸福当中,贪心地延缓持续到来的感动。怎么能有一个书痴这样懂另一个书痴!
