The Land of Sweet Forever

內容簡介

內容簡介 哈珀．李（Harper Lee）憑藉《殺死一隻知更鳥》（To Kill a Mockingbird）中斯考特（Scout）、傑姆（Jem）、艾迪克特（Atticus）等鮮明角色，成為美國文學經典的重要人物。她唯一另一部小說《守望者》（Go Set a Watchman）於2015年被重新發現後出版，描繪了1950年代末阿拉巴馬小鎮更為陰暗的一面。然而，直到現在，人們對年輕時期堅毅創作、努力投稿雜誌的哈珀．李知之甚少；對她作為充滿活力的紐約客、阿拉巴馬人及杜魯門．卡波特（Truman Capote）好友的身影亦少有印象；她在20世紀晚期於《麥考爾》（McCall’s）與《Vogue》雜誌發表的深刻散文也鮮為人知。《甜蜜永恆之地》（The Land of Sweet Forever）匯集李氏早期短篇小說與晚期非小說作品，前所未有地展現她獨特文風的成長歷程。書中涵蓋李氏童年阿拉巴馬校園生活，至中世紀曼哈頓的午餐館與電影院，觸及政治、平等、旅行、愛情、小說、藝術、美國南方，以及如何過有意義且具創造力的人生等持續熱議的話題。 本輯附由李氏指定傳記作家凱西．塞普（Casey Cep）撰寫的導讀，為讀者解讀故事背景，並將這些作品與李氏一生及兩部小說緊密連結。Harper Lee remains a landmark figure in the American canon – thanks to Scout, Jem, Atticus, and the other indelible characters in her Pulitzer-winning debut, To Kill a Mockingbird; as well as for the darker, late-’50s version of small-town Alabama that emerged in Go Set a Watchman, her only other novel, published in 2015 after its rediscovery. Less remembered, until now, however, is Harper Lee the dogged young writer, who crafted stories in hopes of magazine publication; Lee the lively New Yorker, Alabamian, and friend to Truman Capote; and the Lee who peppered the pages of McCall’s and Vogue with thoughtful essays in the latter part of the twentieth century.The Land of Sweet Forever combines Lee’s early short fiction and later nonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice. Covering territory from the Alabama schoolyards of Lee’s youth to the luncheonettes and movie houses of midcentury Manhattan, The Land of Sweet Forever invites still-vital conversations about politics, equality, travel, love, fiction, art, the American South, and what it means to lead an engaged and creative life.This collection comes with an introduction by Casey Cep, Harper Lee’s appointed biographer, which provides illuminating background for our reading of these stories and connects them both to Lee’s life and to her two novels.
