Arturo Bandini 是一名苦苦挣扎的作家,寄宿在洛杉矶一家破旧的旅馆里。在沉浸于自己唯一的短篇小说发表在一家小型杂志上的喜悦之中时,他遇到了当地的女服务员 Camilla Lopez,两人展开了一段奇异而紧张的爱恨交织的关系。慢慢地,但不可避免地,它滑向了疯狂的境地。Ask the Dust 是二十世纪真正伟大却鲜为人知的美国小说之一。一个冷硬、不带感伤却怀有一颗柔软温柔之心的故事,它至今仍如创作之初那样新鲜且感人至深。

  • ……符合你的口味,或者随便怎样吧。不过外面好书多得是,很高兴你能发现一些比机场畅销书更有深度的作品。我想向所有人强烈推荐:克努特·汉姆生的《饥饿》(Hunger)、约翰·芬特的《问尘》(Ask The Dust)、布雷特·伊斯顿·埃利斯的《美国精神病人》(American Psycho)、查克·帕拉尼克的《摇篮曲》(Lullaby)、欧文·威尔士的《春宫电影》(Porno)。

    …your style, or whatever. There are lots of good books out there though, and I'm glad you discovered something above the airport bestsellers. May I suggest to absolutely anyone Hunger, by Knut Hamson Ask The Dust, by John Fante American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis Lullaby, by Chuck Palahniuk Porno, by Irvine Welsh

  • ……我觉得得把这点考虑进去。很多人正是在那里第一次机缘巧合结识了伟大作家,并接受了真正的文化熏陶,一个典型的例子就是布考斯基:“约翰·芬特的冷门经典《问尘》(Ask the Dust);布考斯基在洛杉矶中央图书馆的书架间偶然发现了这本书,它给他留下了极为震撼的印象”(https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2005/03/14/smashed)。这,正是……

    …into account, I think. It's the place where many people had their first ad hoc meeting with great writers there and had their real education, a notable example is Bukowski: "John Fante’s minor classic “Ask the Dust”; the book, which Bukowski accidentally discovered in the stacks of the Los Angeles Central Library, made a huge impression on him" (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2005/03/14/smashed). This, the…

  • ……投稿费。我极少会为参加会议掏申请费,或者为了比赛掏参赛费,不过即使是这些我也基本能避则避。2. 读约翰·芬特的《问尘》(Ask the Dust)时,可能最让人沮丧的事情就是小说里提到的那些美金金额了。在1930年代,杂志社给短篇故事开出的名义美元稿酬,居然比现在还要高。

    …submission fees. I will very rarely pay an application fee for a conference or entry fee for a contest, but even that I tend to avoid. 2. Perhaps the most depressing thing about reading John Fante’s Ask the Dust were the dollar amounts that were mentioned in the novel. Magazines paid more in nominal dollar amounts for stories in the 1930s than they do now.

  • 你要是读过约翰·芬特的《问尘》(Ask the Dust),里面提到了好几笔卖短篇故事赚到的美金数额。那些数字甚至都不用算通胀,就比现在几乎所有的稿酬机会都要好。要我说,20年代和……

    If you read John Fante’s Ask the Dust, he has a number of dollar amounts in there for short story sales. Those numbers are better than pretty much every contemporary opportunity without adjusting for inflation. I would say that the 20s and…
