Since
was founded in 1953, it has given us invaluable conversations with the greatest writers of our age, vivid self-portraits that are themselves works of finely crafted literature. From William Faulkner's determination that a great novel takes ninety-nine percent talent . . . ninety-nine percent discipline . . . ninety-nine percent work, to Gabriel García Márquez's observation that in the first paragraph, you solve most of the problems with your book,
has elicited revelatory and revealing thoughts from our most accomplished novelists, poets, and playwrights. With an introduction by Orhan Pamuk, this volume brings together another rich, varied crop of literary voices, including Toni Morrison, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Graham Greene, James Baldwin, Stephen King, Philip Larkin, Eudora Welty, and more. A colossal literary event, as Gary Shteyngart put it,
is an indispensable treasury of wisdom from the world's literary masters.

一个小说家对读者的揭秘与渴望。
成就奥尔罕•帕慕克的文学省思。
更是中国读者熟悉的老帕,充满纯真的乐观召唤大家——“让我们来读小说吧!”
对于现代的世俗化个人来说,要在世界里理解一种更深刻、更渊博的意义,方法之一就是阅读伟大的文学小说。我们在阅读它们时将理解,世界以及我们的心灵拥有不止一个中心。
——奥尔罕•帕慕克
2009年,奥尔罕•帕慕克应邀在哈佛大学做了六场演说,即著名的诺顿演说,此为结集。
帕慕克说,在完成《纯真博物馆》之后,他觉得自己在做了三十五年小说家之后,好像回到了原点,他也意识到,这原点并不是他的出发点(这也是许多人的共识)。他慢慢地在心中有了一个他所经历的文学旅程的意象,他觉得是时候谈谈了。
“我希望谈论我的小说创作旅程,沿途经过的站点,学习过的小说艺术和小说形式,它们加于我的限制,我对它们的抗争和依恋。同时,我希望我的讲座成为小说艺术的论文或沉思,而不是沿着记忆的巷道走一趟或者讨论我个人的发展。”

The incomparable Alice Munro’s bestselling and rapturously acclaimed Runaway is a book of extraordinary stories about love and its infinite betrayals and surprises, from the title story about a young woman who, though she thinks she wants to, is incapable of leaving her husband, to three stories about a woman named Juliet and the emotions that complicate the luster of her intimate relationships. In Munro’s hands, the people she writes about–women of all ages and circumstances, and their friends, lovers, parents, and children–become as vivid as our own neighbors. It is her miraculous gift to make these stories as real and unforgettable as our own.

这篇小说围绕一对年龄相差悬殊的夫妻的性生活展开。男主人公是位五十六岁的大学教授,妻子郁子四十五岁。面对体态丰满且性欲旺盛的妻子,体力衰弱的教授心有余而力不足。他于是夜里起来点灯观看睡熟妻子的裸体。这时,他想起了经常到家里来的年轻力强的学生木村。他希望用木做村对郁子的情欲催化剂,也希望他把自己力量重新激发起来。不料郁子在木村身上第一次体验到了新鲜、强烈而多变的性,结婚二十几年来蕴藏在肉体深处的那尚未觉醒的热情被一下子唤醒,并一发不可遏止……随着故事进展,女儿敏子也加入进来,扮演深沉而诡谲的角色。丈夫在性斗争中死亡,妻子、女儿与木村的三角关系依然持续上演,并留下不解之谜。《钥匙》在结构上的特点是小说全篇由教授和郁子两人的日记组成。两部日记有鲜明而扭曲的共同特点,那就是日记本是隐私,但男女主人公记日记初始就希望对方能够读到,所以时不时流露出是为对方而写的心态;既希望对方能够揣测自己的隐蔽欲望,又不希望对方猜到后给予明确的反应。谷崎润一郎将四人的多角关系的暗潮汹涌、心计伪装描写得淋漓尽致,揭示了人的欲望亦创造亦毁灭的双面性。它在卫道人士眼“道德丧失”、“伤风败俗”、“假借文艺之名”的猥亵作品,但日本作家后藤明生曾说,《钥匙》在谷崎润一郎的经典之作中排前三名,它脱离了“日本式”的特殊氛围,置于世界文学之中,亦属佳作。

A vulnerable young girl wins a dream assignment on a big-time New York fashion magazine and finds herself plunged into a nightmare. An autobiographical account of Sylvia Plath's own mental breakdown and suicide attempt, The Bell Jar is more than a confessional novel, it is a comic but painful statement of what happens to a woman's aspirations in a society that refuses to take them seriously... a society that expects electroshock to cure the despair of a sensitive, questioning young artist whose search for identity becomes a terrifying descent toward madness.

《少将滋干之母》写于1949年,主要描写了一位名叫滋干的少年思慕在其年幼时便被他人抢夺为妻的母亲的故事。少将滋干之母在原氏为日本平安时代美名远播的佳人,因家道中落,嫁给比她年长五十岁的国经。老人对貌美少妻疼爱有加,但寂寞青春依旧难以填补,于是夫人韵事不断,终致发生左大臣时平公然在国经家宴上抢夺爱妻的丑闻。作者于书中不断援引其他著作的片言只语,以佐证故事的真实性,而不时浮现的个人观点,也替故事带来虚实参半、古今交叠的错置感,令读者犹如阅读纪实传说或趣闻一般,霎时味蕾翕动,五味杂陈。谷崎润一郎运用以《源氏物语》为首的日本古典文学的手法,创作了一则平安时代的瑰丽传奇。评论家龟井胜一郎认为《少将滋干之母》是谷崎文学所有要素之综合、最高之结晶。
我希望尽可能不冒犯史实的尊严,同时填补记录的不足之处,以此展开自我的世界。

The Booker Prize-winning novel, now a critically acclaimed major motion picture, starring Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe and Kristin Scott Thomas. With ravishing beauty and unsettling intelligence, Michael Ondaatje's Booker Prize-winning novel traces theintersection of four damaged lives in an Italian villa at the end of World War II. Hana, the exhausted nurse; the maimed thief, Caravaggio; the wary sapper, Kip: each is haunted by the riddle of the English patient, the nameless, burned man who lies in an upstairs room and whose memories of passion, betrayal, and rescue illuminates this book like flashes of heat lightening.

In the early 1950s, an eleven-year-old boy in Colombo boards a ship bound for England. At mealtimes he is seated at the “cat’s table”—as far from the Captain’s Table as can be—with a ragtag group of “insignificant” adults and two other boys, Cassius and Ramadhin. As the ship crosses the Indian Ocean, the boys tumble from one adventure to another, bursting all over the place like freed mercury. But there are other diversions as well: they are first exposed to the magical worlds of jazz, women, and literature by their eccentric fellow travelers, and together they spy on a shackled prisoner, his crime and fate a galvanizing mystery that will haunt them forever. By turns poignant and electrifying, The Cat’s Table is a spellbinding story about the magical, often forbidden, discoveries of childhood, and a lifelong journey that begins unexpectedly with a spectacular sea voyage.
