上下文(出自一本小说集的前言,小说作者是kurt vonnegut)PROLOGUE
Ernest Hemingway in 1952 published in Life magazine a long short story called The Old Man
and the Sea.It was about a Cuban fisherman who hadn't caught anything for eighty-four days.
The Cuban hooked an enormous marlin.He killed it and lashed it alongside his little boat.Before
he could get it to shore,though,sharks bit off all the meat on the skeleton.
I was living in Barnstable Village on Cape Cod when the story appeared.I asked a
neighboring commercial fisherman what he thought of it.He said the hero was an idiot.He
should have hacked off the best chunks of meat and put them in the bottom of the boat,and left
the rest of the carcass for the sharks.
It could be that the sharks Hemingway had in mind were critics who hadn't much liked his first novel in ten years,Across the River and into the Trees,published two years earlier.As far as I know,he never said so.But the marlin could have been that novel.
And then I found myself in the winter of 1996 the creator of a novel which did not work,
which had no point,which had never wanted to be written in the first place.Merde!I had spent
nearly a decade on that ungrateful fish,if you will.It wasn't even fit for shark chum.
