美国国家图书奖决选名单
October 13, 2011 on 10:56 am | In 文坛书讯 | No Comments美国国家图书奖(NBA)的决选名单公布,小说类的五部入选作品分别是:
“The Sojurn” by Andrew Krivak, published by Bellevue Literary Press
“The Tiger’s Wife” by Téa Obreht, published by Random House
“The Buddha in the Attic” by Julie Otsuka, published by Knopf
“Binocular Vision: New and Selected Stories” by Edith Pearlman, published by Lookout Books
“Salvage the Bones” by Jesmyn Ward, published by Bloomsbury
入围作里,The Sojurn的出版商Bellevue Literary Press是纽约大学医学院下一个很小的出版社,之前因出版的Paul Harding的Tinkers摘得普利策奖而受人瞩目,今年又有出版的书入选NBA,这家出版社的文学眼光令人称道。
另一本短篇集Binocular Vision,作者Edith Pearlman可谓是美国的Alice Munro,一生几乎只写短篇,发表过二百五十多篇故事,而且几乎篇篇都是精品,获得过欧亨利奖,却依旧没有主流出版商愿意出版她的短篇集。这本Binocular Vision,虽然也是由学术性的大学出版社出版,但终于让这位不知名的短篇大师受到应有的关注。
还有Tea Obreht的 The Tiger’s Wife,这本书从去年就开始造势,拿了年初英国的橘子奖,不过我仍然觉得它是被hype了。年轻的Tea Obreht野心很大,但在宏大叙事的组织和掌控力上还不够令人满意。之前写过的一点书评:http://lily.wuxinan.net/archives/2363
