安娜·卡万（Anna Kavan，1901—1968） 英国小说家与画家。职业生涯初期以“海伦·弗格森”为笔名进行创作。在饱受药物成瘾与精神崩溃的困扰后，以“安娜·卡万”的新身份展现出独特的文学风格：在高度主观的自传视角下，以简洁、冷峻又带有浓烈情感的笔法描绘破碎的梦幻体验，探索世界的幽暗与生存的脆弱。其极具现代主义风格的创作常被拿来与卡夫卡、伍尔夫相提并论，受到多丽丝·莱辛、J. G. 巴拉德、帕蒂·史密斯、布赖恩·奥尔迪斯等众多名家的推崇。《冰》是其最负盛名的代表作，其他作品包括《朱莉娅与火箭筒》《我头脑中的机器》等。 +++ 【译者简介】 敬雁飞 毕业于四川大学，在出版界漫游十余年的编辑、翻译，译作涵盖文学、科幻奇幻、心理学领域，代表译作有《今日大吉，诸事不宜》《死灵之书》等。
