面前摆着美国企鹅出版社1979年出版的马尔科姆·考利的《我的作家生涯》。副标题是:1918—1978年美国文学记事。考利的侧面头像几乎占据了这本平装普及本封面的三分之二。岁月已在考利的眼角、额际刻下深深的皱纹、一头银发、粗眉下那双睿智的眼睛目光炯炯。他微笑着,似乎在展望什么,又似乎在回顾和沉思:宾夕法尼亚州坎布里奇县贝尔茨塔农舍和田野上渡过的少年时代,匹兹堡的中学、哈佛的大学时光;一次大战中在欧州战场当救护车、军用卡车司机的冒险经历;他也一定回忆起在巴黎、纽约文人圈子里以及晚年定居康涅狄格州美丽小镇谢尔曼后的著述生涯。然而,考利已于1989年3月29日因心脏病与世长辞。享年90岁。
In front of American Penguin Press published in 1979, Malcolm Cowley’s “My Writer Career.” Subtitle is: 1918-1978 American literature. Cowley’s profile picture almost covers up to two-thirds of the cover’s popularity. Years have been in Cowley’s eyes, forehead engraved deep wrinkles, a silver hair, thick eyebrows that pair of wise eyes look bright. He smiles, seems to be looking at something, and seems to be looking back and contemplating: Teenagers at Pittsdale Farmhouse and Fields in Cambridge, Pa., Pittsburgh’s middle school, Harvard’s college days; Battle of Europe in the battlefield As an ambulance and military truck driver; he must also recall the writings of the literati in Paris and New York, and later in Sherman’s career in the beautiful town of Connecticut. However, Cowley died on 29 March 1989 due to a heart attack. At the age of 90 years.
