Abstract

This is the story of a man who was a writer. He cared about language, and he cared about people. He didn’t want to be famous or popular— he just wanted to write books. But he became both. From among the many serious writers of our time, he became for a great many people, here and throughout the world, the one writer who counted, the one who touched them. He made words sing, and he made people laugh and cry. He also made them think—about loneliness, self-deception, and injustice. And in all that he wrote, he testified to his belief that everything that lives is holy. (ix)

“一个作家”：约翰·斯坦贝克为美国留下的不朽遗产

这是一个作家的故事。他关心语言，也关心人。他不想出名或受欢迎——他只想写书。但他两者都成为了。在我们这个时代的众多严肃作家中，他成为了这里和全世界许多人心目中最重要的、最感动他们的作家。他使文字歌唱，他使人们欢笑和哭泣。他还让他们思考孤独、自我欺骗和不公正。他在一切所写的事上，证明他所信的，凡活著的都是圣的。(第九)
