Whatever extra there is in me at any given moment isn't fully formed. I am hardly aware of it; it awaits the next book. It will - with luck - come to me during the actual writing, and it will take me by surprise.

  • -- V. S. Naipaul V.S.奈保尔

在任何特定的时刻,我身体里的任何额外部分都没有完全形成。我几乎没有意识到;它等待着下一本书。在实际写作过程中,如果幸运的话,它会出现在我的脑海中,让我大吃一惊。
