本期介绍了新科诺贝尔文学奖得主爱丽丝·门罗的短篇小说《平坦之路》,读者借此可以管窥门罗的写作风格。与另一位热门人选日本作家村上春树相比,来自加拿大的门罗还是一张较为陌生的面孔。当然,作为某种文化融合、价值观碰撞的缩影,诺贝尔文学奖在今天的意义已经超越了文学本身。话题打住,令人感慨的是时间飞逝,不经意间诺奖又度过了一个轮回,春夏秋冬又度过了一个轮回。 This issue introduces the novel The Flat Road, the novel of the new Nobel Prize winner Alice Monroe, which gives readers a glimpse of Monroe’s writing style. Compared with another popular Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, Monroe from Canada is still a more unfamiliar face. Of course, as a microcosm of a cultural fusion and collision of values, the significance of the Nobel Prize for Literature today has gone beyond the literature itself. Stop the topic, it is the feeling of time flies, inadvertently promised to spend a reincarnation, spring, summer, autumn and winter and spent a reincarnation.
