我想读,这本书(还没出)

The White Man's Guide to White Male Writers of the Western Canon
by Dana Schwartz

I’m happy you’re here. Or at least, I would be happy if I didn’t maintain an air of disaffected ironic detachment at all times. You’ve probably seen me sitting on the quad, rolling my own cigarette, loose tobacco spilling into my worn copy of As She Climbed Across the Table by Jonathan Lethem. Yeah, it’s pretty beaten up; I’ve read it a couple of times. It just inspires me, you know? Like, right now I think I need to take out my journal and jot down a quick poem. It’s called “Orin Incandenza” and I usually don’t like people to read my unfinished work, but maybe I’d let you take a look if you wanted to come back to my dorm room later tonight?
Why only white men in this book? Simple: they’re the most important ones. They are the most widely read, the most celebrated, the most influential, and, if I’m going to be blunt, the most talented. I mean, sure, there are some ladies who have had a pretty good go at the whole “writing thing” but how could a woman ever capture my experience? And by my experience, I mean my experience as a white man.

真的, 一个不太相关的事,前几天我先生说:今天我第一次买了一本女人写的书。我大惊,觉得这个第一次有点不可能,他的书架上找过来一遍,工科的专业书没有女性作者(我们检讨了一下:挑专业书时可能不是白人男性名字的作者就潜意识减分了),科幻和nonfiction 也没有。
而我看的书我以为是偏向女性作者的多,但也不到一半。
甚至童书著名作者也是男性多!

有没有提到David Foster Wallace?以前看到某位年轻女作家说过,在dating网站上碰到喜欢David Foster Wallace的就是红灯警报。
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "... But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien

奇怪,用电脑Firefox只看见一张图,其它浏览器倒是都看得见。

就科幻书来说,从去年开始我才有意识地找女作家的作品。

我没看过 David Foster Wallace,不知为什么他成了现代知识白男的俗套,也许有一天实在闲得受不了了会见识见识。但是我听说过他的抑郁症,还是很同情的。

本来就不爱看大学文学系男教授的小说,就是在最想装蒜的年纪硬着头皮都看不下去更别提现在了。
