In fiction, you have a rough idea what's coming up next - sometimes you even make a little outline - but in fact you don't know. Each day is a whole new - and for me, a very invigorating - experience.

  • -- Peter Matthiessen 马修森

在小说中,你对接下来会发生什么有一个大致的概念——有时你甚至会做一个小提纲——但事实上你并不知道。每一天都是全新的,对我来说,这是一次非常振奋人心的经历。
