十六年前,我大学毕业,分配到北都市统计局工作。第二年春季,单位派我到北都大学,进修一学期财经理论,所以认识了杨先生。杨先生是中国人,在台湾出生,六十年代中期大学毕业,当过两年兵后,到美国留学,获博士学位,在美国蒙塔那州一个国家实验室做研究员。中国开放以后,他连续四年应聘回国,在各大学客座演讲,介绍美国科技研究的新方法和新成果。杨先生个子不很高,也不健壮,但总是西装革履,器宇轩昂,容光焕发,充满自信。这种样子的人,八十年代初期的中国大陆,还很少见,显得特殊,十分惹眼。Spire
Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire on his cathedral. His mason anxiously advises against it, for the old cathedral was built without foundations. Nevertheless, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, until the stone pillars shriek and the ground beneath it swims. Its shadow falls ever darker on the world below, and on Dean Jocelin in wkkk.net the author of Lord of the Flies, The Spire is a dark and powerful portrait of one man's will, and the folly that he creates.'A superb tragedy … the book should become a classic.'
