鲁迅作品集(6)(中国现代文学名家作品集)
听说:中国的好作家是大抵“悔其少作”的,他在自定集子的时候,就将少年时代的作品尽力删除,或者简直全部烧掉。我想,这大约和现在的老成的少年,看见他婴儿时代的出屁股,衔手指的照相一样,自愧其幼稚,因而觉得有损于他现在的尊严,——于是以为倘使可以隐蔽,总还是隐蔽的好。但我对于自己的“少作”,愧则有之,悔却从来没有过。出屁股,衔手指的照相,当然是惹人发笑的,但自有婴年的天真,决非少年以至老年所能有。况且如果少时不作,到老恐怕也未必就能作,又怎么还知道悔呢?The Painted Bird
Originally published in 1965, The Painted Bird established Jerzy Kosinski as a major literary figure. Kosinski's story follows a dark-haired, olive-skinned boy, abandoned by his parents during World War II, as he wanders alone from one village to another, sometimes hounded and tortured, only rarely sheltered and cared for. Through the juxtaposition of adolescence and the most brutal of adult experiences, Kosinski sums up a Bosch-like world of harrowing excess where senseless violence and untempered hatred are the norm. Through sparse prose and vivid imagery, Kosinski's novel is a story of mythic proportion, even more relevant to today's society than it was upon its original publication.
