作家

My father, if anything, first and last, was a man of words. He loved stories; he didn't live for stories, exactly, but I think he lived through stories. I think, like many writers, he loved stories about things he had experienced as much as, if not more than, he loved the experiences themselves.

如果说我的父亲有什么不同的话，那就是他首先是一个说话算数的人。他爱的故事;确切地说，他不是为故事而活，但我认为他是通过故事而活的。我想，和许多作家一样，他喜欢讲述自己经历过的事情的故事，就像他喜欢亲身经历一样多，甚至更多。
