英文的武打小说

金庸的武打小说曾是我的最爱。那里面的人物色彩分明，大英雄、小美女，慷慨激昂、柔情似水。小说里掺杂一点野史，似真似假，让我这种爱看成年人的童话的人们读得如醉如痴。到美国后，最为这里长大的ABC们遗憾的就是英文里没有武打小说。可惜我们的儿女们永远也无法享受那精神上的快感。

前不久在女儿床头拾到一本小说《The Drawing of the Dark》，读后有一丝惊喜：也是小说里掺有真真假假的历史（The cast of characters includes the wounded and probably dying Fisher King, immortal Merlin, reincarnated King Arthur, the ghost of Finn MacCool, an ancient ship full of only slightly less ancient Vikings on their way to Ragnarok, companies of Swiss mercenaries, legions of Turkish soldiers, spies, wizards, serving wenches, demons and, well, a whole lot more and the historical event of Turkish concor Europe in 500s）, 也有帅哥美女，也有神奇武功。。。 

看来儿孙自有儿孙福，没有金庸有Tim Powers.
