视频简介:

艾丽斯·芒罗,2013年诺贝尔文学奖得主。艾丽斯于1931年7月10日出生。她是2009年布克国际奖获得者,三次获加拿大总督奖。主要作品有《快乐阴影的舞蹈》、《女孩和女人的生活》、《你认为你是谁?》等。她的早期创作中,是一些刚刚进入家庭生活的女孩子,为爱情、性、背叛、孩子等苦恼;到后期,则是在中年危机和琐碎生活中挣扎的女性,但她们都有着欲望和遗憾,有着强大和软弱之处。

上面的视频为艾丽丝·芒罗在2009年参加国际作家节时的访谈,她与英国作家黛安娜·阿西尔一起畅谈写作和人生。

艾丽斯·芒罗谈写作:

A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth 1 and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows.

一个故事并不像一条前后延伸的公路……故事更像是一幢房子。你走进去,在里面待一会儿,前后参观一番,在你衷意的房间里稍稍驻足,探查那些房间和楼梯是怎样相互连接的,探索屋外的风景是如何被窗户构成的视野所改变了。

And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked 2 turns, or sparsely 3 or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile 4 you.

而你,作为访客,作为读者,也已经被这一自足的空间所改变了——无论这房子的户型是宽敞舒适、落落大方还是曲折诡异、曲径通幽,无论其内部装饰是疏少简陋 还是奢华繁琐。你可以一次又一次的回访,每次都会发现这幢房子、这个故事比上次参观时又多了新的内容。这幢房子会有明确的自我意识,为自己的意义而存在, 而非仅仅是为访客遮风挡雨或提供消遣的东西。
