The Lydia Steptoe Stories(Faber Stories)

内容简介

我完全改变主意了。我要逃跑,成为一个男孩。”    

在杜娜·巴恩斯化名莉迪亚·斯特普托所写的这三个故事中,三个角色发现自己正处于性觉醒的边缘。伴随着枪支、鞭子和世俗的影射。    

一个14岁的女孩计划成为“病毒女”,直到她的母亲阻止她第一次幽会打扮成她的男性情人。一个同龄的男孩被他父亲的情妇引诱到森林里。一个四十岁的女人坠入爱河,渴望自杀,她认为她想要的青春回归是如此令人无法忍受。“爱丽丝，”她对自己说，“做个男人。”    

巴恩斯因性别和欲望显得圆滑而快乐,让虚构的莉迪亚•斯特普托(Lydia Steptoe)看起来像是我们这个时代的作家。

'I have quite changed my mind. I am going to run away and become a boy.'

In these three stories, written by Djuna Barnes under the pseudonym Lydia Steptoe, three characters find themselves on the brink of a sexual awakening - accompanied by guns, whips, and worldly innuendo.

A fourteen-year-old girl plans to become 'a virago', until her mother intercepts her first tryst by dressing up as her male lover. A boy of the same age is lured into the forest by his father's mistress. A woman of forty falls in love and longs to kill herself, so unbearable is the return of the youth she thought she wanted. 'Alice', she tells herself, 'be a man.'

Barnes makes gender and desire seem slippery and joyful - and makes the fictional Lydia Steptoe seem like a writer for our time.

作者简介

Djuna Barnes was born in 1892 in Cornwall-on-Hudson in New York State. In 1912 she enrolled as a student at Pratt Institute and then at the Art Students' League, and while she was there she started to work as a reporter and illustrator for the Brooklyn Eagle. In 1921 she moved to Paris, where she lived for almost twenty years and wrote for such publications as Vanity Fair and The New Yorker. Nightwood, written in 1936, was her second novel. It is now considered a masterpiece, praised by T. S. Eliot for its 'great achievement of a style, the beauty of phrasing, the brilliance of wit and characterization, and a quality of horror and doom very nearly related to that of Elizabethan tragedy'. Her other works include A Book, a collection of short stories, poems and one-act plays; a satirical novel, Ladies Almanack; and a verse play, The Antiphon. She died in New York in 1982.
