书籍简介:
On February 13th, 2001, according to Vonnegut, the universe will tire momentarily of expanding forever. What's the point? Maybe it would be more fun to shrink for a change, and have a reunion of all the stuff back where it began. Then it could make a great big BANG again. It will shrink back to February 17th, 1991, but will then decide that expansion is the way to go, after all. As time marches on once more to 2001, though, Vonnegut and Trout and everybody else and everything else will have to do exactly what they did the first time through the decade, for good or ill: marry the wrong person, bet on the wrong horse. Whatever! Ten years of deja vu all over again! At least deja vu doesn't cause physical injury and property damage.
作者简介:
[美] 库尔特·冯内古特(Kurt Vonnegut,1922—2007)
美国后现代主义文学大师,黑色幽默文学的代表人物,与马克·吐温并称。以喜剧形式表现悲剧内容,在灾难、荒诞、绝望面前发出笑声。这种“黑色幽默”风格始终是冯内古特小说创作的重要特质。其代表作《五号屠宰场》《时震》抓住了他处身时代的情绪,并激发了一代人的想象。
冯内古特是出生在美国的犹太人,1940年考取康奈尔大学,主修化学。1944年珍珠港事件爆发,主张反战的他志愿参军,远赴欧洲战场。1945年遭德军俘虏,被囚禁在德累斯顿战俘营。冯内古特的文学创作,不少灵感正是来自于在战俘营的经历。战后冯内古特在芝加哥大学获得人类学硕士学位,后在哈佛大学任教。他从50年代起开始发表短篇小说,60年代起开始出版长篇。晚年的冯内古特在曼哈顿和纽约长岛的田园里颐养天年。2007 年3月在家中楼梯上不慎摔倒,同年4 月11 日,在曼哈顿逝世。
