我是来自西弗吉尼亚州的作家, 我的家族世代居住的地方, 我倾向于写风景, history and politics shape the private lives of people (and animals!) who seemingly live far from the main stage of culture. There is the zeitgeist, then there is the counterlife. I’m more interested in the latter, what goes on unnoticed in the corners.
两种形式都写过的, I happily teach the short story as well as the novel, trying to understand why a particular strategy might triumph in one form and fall like a bad cake in another. 我曾在爱荷华大学任教, Bryant University, 以及亨德曼定居学校, and I am a member of the 美术工作中心 in Provincetown’s Writing Committee.
As a reader, 我欣赏风格鲜明的作家, and I hope to help students discover and nurture their own. 在车间环境中, I don’t think we ought to iron out an individual’s idiosyncrasies, but try to tease out what makes them eye-catching in the first place. You can read a page of Isaac Babel, Jamaica Kincaid, or Daša Drndic and know who it is. Mavis Gallant说得最好:“写作风格, as in painting, 是作者的指纹吗, his mark … I am thinking now of prose style as a writer’s armorial bearings, 他的姓名和地址. 在一本私人印刷的诽谤小册子里, 科莱特的第一任丈夫, Willy, 谁在她早期的小说上签了名, tried to prove she had gone on to plagiarize and plunder different things he had written. As evidence he offered random sentences from work he was supposed to have influenced or inspired. Colette’s manner, robust and personal, seems to leap from the page. Willy believed he had taught Colette ‘everything,这也许是真的——一切都是真的,’ that is, 除了她对语言的本能, her talent for perceiving the movement of life and a faculty for describing it.” Style is a slippery thing to consider and teach — almost any other facet of fiction is easier to discuss — but one must try.
Right now, I’m trying to incorporate more works-in-translation into my teaching, especially writers from Latin America and continental Europe, for their formal innovation and engagement with politics.
I like to fish, garden and hike, so central PA is a nice place to be.
