亨利·罗斯生于1907年,是美国当代重要的作家之一。罗斯的这一文学地位奠定于1934年,那一年,他发表了第一部,也是以后的60年中唯一的一部长篇小说《就说是睡着了》。小说立即引起评论界和读者的注意,一时间,赞誉四起,年仅28岁的罗斯着实风光了一番。接着便是整整60年的沉默。1994年初,罗斯的第二部长篇小说《一条暴怒的河流的恩惠》的第一卷《一颗星在蒙特莫里斯公园上空闪烁》由圣马丁出版公司出版。这一消息唤起了人们对青年才子罗斯的记忆,很多人在关心新作品是个什么样子的同时,很想了解不声不响地进入了耄耋之年的作者在这60年里都做了些什么。 Henry Rose was born in 1907 and is one of the most important contemporary writers in the United States. Rose’s literary position was laid in 1934, when he published his first and later only 60-year novel, “It’s asleep.” The novel immediately aroused the attention of critics and readers, for a time, praised four, only 28-year-old Rose really a lot of scenery. Then there is a full 60 years of silence. In early 1994, the first volume of Rose’s Second Novel, “Blessing of a River of Fury,” “A Star Blinking Over the Park of Montmorillon,” was published by St. Martin’s Publishing Company. This news aroused people’s memory of young gifted Rose. Many people are concerned about what a new work is like. They also want to know what the author who did her utmost to achieve during the fallow years did something in 60 years .
