Every time that I write a novel I am convinced for at least two years that it is the last one, because a novel is like a child. It takes two years after its birth. You have to take care of it. It starts walking, and then speaking.

  • -- Umberto Eco 乌姆贝托生态

每次我写小说的时候,我都至少有两年的时间确信这是最后一部,因为小说就像一个孩子。它在出生后两年。你必须照顾好它。它开始走路,然后说话。
