好爸爸,坏爸爸。。。老黑说一个英美文坛的故事。。。

(2019-01-07 15:07:57) 下一个

有一个英美文坛大名鼎鼎的作家,名字叫做CSF,写过很多小说和电影,赚了很多钱。关于他的正式介绍在这里。。。

https://csforester.wordpress.com/

3月份,将有根据他的小说改编的新电影上映,由Tom Hanks 编导, 《Greyhound》。。。

然后,他于1966年去世了。。。再然后,他的大儿子写了一本关于他的传记。。。没有出版社愿意出。。。为什么?因为这本传记从头到尾说他的坏话,让出版社难堪,让读者心寒。。。让老黑心碎。。。

儿子没有办法,只好自费出版,只出了250套;现在,二手纸质版已经很罕见了,亚马逊上有一套二手书叫价$300。

儿子已经90多岁了,他不在乎钱,就为了让更多人读这本传记,把电子版免费放在他自己的网站上,在这里。。。

摘录一段,对父亲满满的恨意。。。真的很让老黑心碎。。。

“I see CSF as an unloving, faithless, moneyhungry liar. He spent much of his leisure time protecting himself from unseen enemies by breaking as many loving bonds between those people close to him as he could. He was the loneliest man I ever knew, who felt it most important to be “the top.” And whenever anyone close to him seemed to be garnering a little of the spot light, he would turn against them in very devious and, he thought, hidden ways, so their light would be tarnished. And yet in a few ways he was very generous—when there was no thought of gain, he would help someone. He seemed to me to be a very mixed-up man, who spent a lot of energy devising devious ways to show how great he was—and many of the people to whom this energy was directed against couldn’t care a hoot. They saw through him, and thought little of him. What you have gathered together in this book sheds some light on CSF as a storyteller. I hope that your readers will bear a kind heart toward you and an open mind. And I hope a cleansing can occur within our family through your work.”
