杰拉尔丁·布鲁克丝是澳大利亚出生的记者、小说家。她的《欲望的九部分》(1994)和《奇迹之年》(2001)分别是享誉全球的非小说类和小说类畅销书。采访期间,我了解到她儿时的想象力、家庭教育与怜悯之心为她的文学事业提供了路线图。作为记者,她目睹了人性的弱点、邪恶和罪恶。这些成年经历融入到她的历史小说——例如《书之人》(2008)——中人物悲惨生活的人文写照。在《迦勒的人生关口》(2011)中,历史故事和无处不在的虚构相互激发、彼此丰富,从而,通过扣人心弦的故事和神秘的想象,他们被锻造为像《马奇》(2005)那样令人魂牵梦绕拥有永恒主题的历史故事。聆听她的讲座以及对她进行采访进一步加深了我对她的印象——她不愧是美国历史小说家中最灵活和最富洞察力的作家之一。
Geraldine Brooks is an Australian-born journalist and novelist. Her Nine Parts of Desire (1994) and Year of Miracles (2001) are best-of-non-fiction bestseller titles worldwide. During the interview, I learned that her childhood imagination, family education and compassion provided a roadmap for her literary career. As a reporter, she witnessed the weakness, evil and evil of humanity. These adult experiences integrate into her historical novels - such as the humanistic portrayal of the tragic life of characters in The Book of Man (2008). In Caleb’s Life Crossings (2011), historical stories and ubiquitous fiction inspire each other and enrich each other, so that they are forged like “Marches” (2005) by exciting stories and mysterious images It’s a dream story that has an eternal theme. Listening to her lectures and interviews with her further deepened my impressions of her - one of the most flexible and insightful writers of American historical novelists.
