书籍简介

菲利普-拉金的第二本散文集的出现--对作家和写作的评论和批评性评估；关于爵士乐的文章，大部分未被收集；一些在不同场合进行的长篇、揭示性和通常非常有趣的采访--是一个重要的文学事件。这部作品充满了机智、智慧，是拉金的经典之作。

剥夺之于我就像水仙花之于华兹华斯  

我更多地把生活看成是一件通过陪伴而多样化的孤独的事情，而不是通过孤独而多样化的陪伴的事情"。

Q. '你怎么会想到用蟾蜍来形容工作或劳动的形象？

A. '纯粹的天才。

The appearance of Philip Larkin's second prose collection - reviews and critical assessments of writers and writing; pieces on jazz, mostly uncollected; some long, revealing and often highly entertaining interviews given on various occasions - was a considerable literary event. Stamped by wit, originality and intelligence, it was vintage Larkin throughout:

'Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth.'

'I see life more as an affair of solitude diversified by company than as an affair of company diversified by solitude.'

Q. 'How did you arrive upon the image of a toad for work or labour?'

A. 'Sheer genius.'
