把这一句，留给此刻的你
Writing a novel is one of those modern rites of passage, I think, that lead us from an innocent world of contentment, drunkenness, and good humor, to a state of chronic edginess and the perpetual scanning of bank statements.
我认为，写小说是一种现代的成人仪式，它把我们从一个充满满足、醉意和幽默的天真世界，带到了一种长期烦躁不安、无休止地浏览银行对账单的状态。
