About The Book

《行话:与名作家论文艺》

With Primo Levi, Roth discusses the stubborn core of rationality that helped the Italian chemist-writer survive the demented laboratory of Auschwitz. With Milan Kundera, he analyzes the mix of politics and sexuality that made him the most subversive writer in communist Czechoslovakia. With Edna O’Brien, he explores the circumstances that have forced generations of Irish writers into exile. Elsewhere Roth offers appreciative portraits of two friends—the writer Bernard Malamud and the painter Philip Guston—at the end of their careers, and gives us a masterful assessment of the work of Saul Bellow.

《行话》是一部采访录,在这本书里,你可以读到米兰·昆德拉与捷克斯洛伐克、普里莫·莱维与奥斯威辛、爱德娜·奥布莱恩与爱尔兰、阿哈龙·阿佩尔菲尔德与布科维纳、伊凡·克里玛与布拉格、艾萨克·巴什维斯·辛格与华沙、布鲁诺·舒尔茨与波兰,以及对罗斯两位已故朋友——作家伯纳德·马拉默德和画家菲力普·古斯顿——的欣赏与刻画。书末的《重读索尔·贝娄》一文则生动地呈现了贝娄的成就,而且秉承了此书的精神,是一次同行的解读。
