美国作家乔治·丹尼生1987年死于癌症,时年62岁。对于这位刚刚进行了大量积累并日渐进入创作旺盛期的人来说,死亡降临得未免有些为时过早。当丹尼生死于坦普尔缅因城郊的家中之后,他的朋友、后来作了编辑的杰弗里·加德纳和泰勒·斯托尔收集了一些人物随笔(丹尼生称之为“访谈”)及相当数量的对自然界的观察笔记,所有这些,均孕育着化作小说的可能性。最近,这部题名为《坦普尔》的丹尼生遗作已与读者见面了。 American writer George Danny died of cancer in 1987, at the age of 62. It is too early for someone who has just undergone a lot of accumulation and is getting into a period of creative writing. When Danny died in the home of the suburbs of Temple in Maine, his friends, later editors Jeffrey Gardiner and Taylor Stoll, collected personal essays (what Denny called “ Interview ”) and a considerable amount of observation notes on nature, all of which bred the possibility of turning a novel into a novel. Recently, Danny’s life inscription entitled “Temple” has been met with readers.
