不甘寂寞的美国文坛最近又冒出了一位不甘寂寞的女作家,她就是纽约巴纳德学院的写作学教授玛丽·戈登。自1978年以来,她一气出了7部书,其中6部是小说:《最后的支付》(1978)、《妇女之友》(1980)、《人与天使》(1986)、《临时栖身处》(1987)、《另一边》(1989)和《余生》(1993)。还有一部非小说类文学作品:《好男孩与死去的女孩》(1991)。这使她成为美国文学界一颗引人注目的新星。 The unwilling American literary world has recently come up with an upbeat woman writer who is Mary Gordon, a writing professor at Barnard College in New York. She has been involved in seven books since 1978, six of which are fiction: Last Pay (1978), Friends of Women (1980), Men and Angels (1986), Temporary Shelter (1987), The Other Side (1989) and The Rest of the World (1993). There is also a non-fiction literature: The Good Boy and the Dead Girl (1991). This made her a striking new star in the American literary world.
