托马斯•品钦（Thomas Pynchon） 当代文学巨擘，被哈罗德•布鲁姆称作美国当代最重要的四位作家之一，屡次入列诺贝尔文学奖候选名单。 品钦对个人生活讳莫如深，成名后深居简出，早年的照片和档案也离奇消失，引发了媒体、学界和书迷对其生活的狂热考证。作品包含着丰富的意旨、风格和主题，通过迷宫式的叙事和对自然科学、前沿科技、高等数学、现代物理等领域的概念借用，描绘了美国光怪陆离的社会全景，道出了现代社会中人类的艰难处境，展现了鬼才品钦诡谲的视角，以及对黑色幽默、犯罪悬疑、侦探等元素的娴熟运用。 其代表作《万有引力之虹》被评论家称为借助神力完成的大百科全书式作品，曾获美国全国图书奖，但拒绝领奖。亦著有《拍卖第四十九批》《V》《葡萄园》等重要作品。 蒋怡 毕业于南京大学外国语学院英语系，获文学博士学位，现任教于江南大学外国语学院英语系，译有《最接近生活的...(展开全部)
