安妮·法迪曼(Anne Fadiman),生於美國紐約市,在康涅狄格州和洛杉磯長大,畢業於哈佛大學。畢業後,她在懷俄明州當野外探險嚮導,後來迴到紐約從事寫作。曾任《生活》雜誌的特約撰稿人,《文明》雜誌編輯和《美國學人》編輯。她的第一本書《鬼怪抓住你,你就跌倒瞭》(The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down,FSG,1997)獲“美國國傢書評奬”,她還寫有隨筆集《書趣》(Ex Libris),編有《經典重溫》(Rereadings,FSG,2005)等作品。她現與傢人住在馬薩諸塞州西部,並擔任耶魯大學弗朗西斯住校作傢。
Anne Fadiman is--by her own admission--the sort of person who learned about sex from her father's copy of Fanny Hill, whose husband buys her 19 pounds of dusty books for her birthday, and who once found herself poring over her roommate's 1974 Toyota Corolla manual because it was the only written material in the apartment that she had not read at least twice.
This witty collection of essays recounts a lifelong love affair with books and language. For Fadiman, as for many passionate readers, the books she loves have become chapters in her own life story. Writing with remarkable grace, she revives the tradition of the well-crafted personal essay, moving easily from anecdotes about Coleridge and Orwell to tales of her own pathologically literary family. As someone who played at blocks with her father's 22-volume set of Trollope ("My Ancestral Castles") and who only really considered herself married when she and her husband had merged collections ("Marrying Libraries"), she is exquisitely well equipped to expand upon the art of inscriptions, the perverse pleasures of compulsive proof-reading, the allure of long words, and the satisfactions of reading out loud. There is even a foray into pure literary gluttony--Charles Lamb liked buttered muffin crumbs between the leaves, and Fadiman knows of more than one reader who literally consumes page corners. Perfectly balanced between humor and erudition, Ex Libris establishes Fadiman as one of our finest contemporary essayists.
文笔不错的一本小书,只给了三星,给分这么低,是因为我对里面写的小故事们不是很感兴趣,或者说不是很有共鸣。为什么会如此呢?明明作者文笔挺好、说的又是我感兴趣的读书这件事。 纠结两天才想清楚,正如前言里作者说的,普通人读书是为了乐趣,想从碰到的各种零零碎碎中为自...
評分我们每个人都会象巨大的蜗牛般留下痕迹。 一直都写不好书评,反省原因,不外乎没有耐性,无法慢慢阐述书本本身,只顾着抒发自己的感受。 但书给人的最宝贵的东西,不就是这些吗? 下面的东西,与《书趣》几乎没有关系,但又都是书趣——书引发的,属于我自己的小趣味。 人如...
評分加拿大随笔作家斯坦·珀斯基曾说,对读者而言,必须要有一百万部自传,因为我们似乎在一本接一本的书中发现了自身生命的痕迹。这种观点对一个爱书人的我而言,不消说一定会高举双手赞成的。但生命中总有那么一个小小意外的痛苦时刻,这不,这个看似小概率的事件让我在读美国作...

評分读着安妮.法迪曼的<<书趣>>,嘴角禁不住的扬起来,感觉那种在书中才能找到的小小快乐又回来了. 很羡慕她周围的环境,有这么多嗜书的亲人,朋友.这种家庭氛围就是书香门第的氛围. 我一直心向往之...她的这本书让我不由得想到杨绛先生写到的家庭场景,一张书桌,每人各据一角,中间堆...
