最近刚看完海明威的短篇小说,一个干净明亮的地方。新闻型风格和冰山理论在文章中表现的很明显,但整篇文章中那深层次的孤独与人生的虚无感让我读完后不知为何很挫败,里面一段对话我印象深刻。
"Last week he tried to commit suicide," one waiter said.
"Why?"
"He was in despair."
"What about?"
"Nothing."
How do you know it was nothing?"
"He has plenty of money."
那种刻骨的孤独,怪不得海明威会说,我同情所有不想上床睡觉的人,同情所有夜里需要亮光的人。
