这是拉什迪为格拉斯的英译散文选集《论写作与政治》撰写的序言,标题系中译者所加。君特·格拉斯(Günter Grass,1927—),德国当代著名的小说家,也是剧作家、诗人、雕刻家和舞台设计家,生于但泽,战后曾在巴黎居住过。主要作品有《铁皮鼓》、《非人岁月》、《猫与鼠》等。萨尔曼·拉什迪(Salman Rushdie,1947—),英国小说家,生于印度一个穆斯林家庭,一九八一年出版著名长篇小说《午夜的孩子》,曾获得当年度的英国文学最高奖布克奖。作为一位同样经历多重“移位”的作家,拉什迪对格拉斯有独特而深刻的观察。在某种程度上,读者也可以把文章掉转过来观察拉什迪其人及其作品。
This is the preface by Rushdie for Grasse’s collection of English translation essays on Writing and Politics, added by the translator. Günter Grass (1927-), a famous contemporary German novelist, dramatist, poet, sculptor and stage designer, was born in Danzig and lived in Paris after the war. The main works are “tin drum”, “non-human years”, “cat and mouse” and so on. Salman Rushdie (1947-), a British novelist, was born in a Muslim family in India and published the famous novel “Midnight’s Child” in 1981, winning the highest prize in British literature Booker Award. As a writer who also experiences multiple “shifts”, Rushdie has a unique and profound observation of Grasse. To a certain extent, the reader can also turn the article over to observe Rushdish and his works.
