第1章 Dedication

I've had great luck and wonderful experiences with my teachers, from Sister Mary Daniela straight through to Bart Giamatti, but it was the faculty and administration at Skidmore College during the 1970s who taught me the most important lesson: Girls can do anything.

"I love work. I would work for free."

  • Camp Pleasant

    Camp Pleasant

    This short novel that is told with almost fable-like simplicity: Matt Harper is a first-time counselor at a boy's summer camp when he witnesses a casual brutality that leads to murder. The bullying, gluttonous headman Ed Nolan (who has "reduced Camp Pleasant to a microcosm of the Third Reich") is portrayed as one stereotype that the reader is not sorry to see killed off. Instead, all of our sympathy is reserved for the possible suspects: Merv Loomis, the homosexual counselor Nolan humiliates into quitting; the troubled ten-year-old Tony Rocca; Nolan's meek wife, Ellen; and several others. The setting and tone have the distinct feel of the early 1950s, but a casual reference to actress Catherine Deneuve places the action in the mid-60s or later.

  • 迥立向苍苍

    迥立向苍苍

    “闻说真龙种,仍残老骕骦。哀鸣思战斗,迥立向苍苍。”这是诗圣杜甫在“安史之乱”流落秦州后留下的诗句。诗人从良马引起感兴,以“真龙种”、“老骕骦”自喻,抒发自己在颠沛流离、处境十分艰难的时候,仍然渴望为国立功的心情。“九·一八”之后的徐悲鸿,则以“哀鸣思战斗,迥立向苍苍”的诗情立意或直接为题,画了难计其数的引颈哀鸣、愤嘶狂奔中的战马,抒发自己无限的忧国、报国情怀,以自己独特的方式鼓励国人的抗日斗志。其实,“哀鸣”、“迥立”、“思战斗”,不仅仅是徐悲鸿画马的重要主题,更展示了徐悲鸿一生的艺术立场和状态。
