约翰•欧文John Irving
当代文坛无可争议的小说宗师,被公认为在世作家中数一数二的角色。他的作品在赢得文坛推崇的同时深受大众喜爱,被翻译成35种文字,世界各地的书店里几乎都能买到欧文的小说。评论界认为欧文是罕见的承袭了现实主义文学精髓的作家,将他誉为“狄更斯再世”。
日本作家村上春树曾表示,欧文是自己的文学偶像之一,他曾将欧文作品译介到日本,采访过欧文,还与欧文在纽约中央公园一同慢跑。
欧文作品曾三次入围美国国家图书奖,1980年凭借《盖普眼中的世界》摘得桂冠。
欧文作品在好莱坞也炙手可热,曾有5部小说被改编成电影,他本人也是一名杰出编剧。1999年,欧文以《苹果酒屋的规则》拿下奥斯卡金像奖改编剧本奖。
欧文1942年生于美国新罕布什尔州埃克塞特,全职写作之前,曾当过二十年摔跤手。他先后养过两只棕色拉布拉多犬,分别取名为“狄更斯”和“勃朗特”。
The World According to Garp is a comic and compassionate coming-of-age novel that established John Irving as one of the most imaginative writers of his generation. A worldwide bestseller since its publication in 1978, Irving's classic is filled with stories inside stories about the life and times of T. S. Garp, novelist and bastard son of Jenny Fields--a feminist leader ahead of her time. Beyond that, The World According to Garp virtually defies synopsis.----"Nothing in contemporary fiction matches it," said critic Terrence Des Pres. "Irving's blend of gravity and play is unique, audacious, almost blasphemous. . . . Friendship, marriage and family are his primary themes, but at that blundering level of life where mishap and folly--something close to joyful malice--perpetually intrude and disrupt, often fatally. Life, in Irving's fiction, is always under siege." Time magazine commented: "Irving's popularity is not hard to understand. His world is really the world according to nearly everyone."----This Modern Library edition includes a new Introduction by the author.
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editons of impor-tant works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoringas its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.--From the Hardcover edition.
一个优秀小说的开头:“我父亲在奥地利观光局工作。” 一个拙劣小说的开头:“男孩儿五岁。咳嗽声好像比他瘦弱的小胸膛还深沉。” 如果只拥有回忆,写出的皆为粪土。 ——“他再也没有纯粹的想象了。” 《葛利尔帕泽寄宿舍》甚至比整本四五百页的《盖普》更重要。它是欧文写出...
评分人们常说落叶归根,他的一生平凡又丰富多彩,兜兜转转,最后又回到了最初的地方史第林学校。《盖普眼中的世界》的T.S.盖普用他的经历向我们展示了一个现实的社会,充满着人性的暴力,疯狂,脆弱,但同时也充满爱,坚持,正能量。 作者约翰•欧文,当代美国著名的作家,从1968...
评分1978年,约翰﹒欧文将《盖普眼中的世界》的手稿交给十二岁的儿子科林阅读的时候,他被儿子可能会问到的问题难住了——这本书到底是关于什么的呢?这也是我在阅读这本书时偶尔会问自己的问题。 在这本略显杂乱,却又如此滑稽、激越、充满活力的小说中,几乎包含了约翰.欧文的世...
