把这一句，留给此刻的你

There's no such thing as the contemporary novel. Before I seem the complete reactionary, let me add that I've happily joined in many discussions about 'the contemporary novel' where what that usually, unproblematically means is novels that have appeared recently or may appear soon.

当代小说是不存在的。在我显得完全反动之前，让我补充一句，我很高兴地参加了许多关于“当代小说”的讨论，在这些讨论中，通常毫无疑问的意思是最近或即将出版的小说。
