Each book, intuitively sensed and, in the case of fiction, intuitively worked out, stands on what has gone before, and grows out of it. I feel that at any stage of my literary career it could have been said that the last book contained all the others.

  • -- V. S. Naipaul V.S.奈保尔

每一本书,都是凭直觉感觉出来的,就小说而言,都是凭直觉做出来的,都是站在过去的基础上,并从中成长起来的。我觉得在我文学生涯的任何阶段,都可以说上一本书包含了其他所有的内容。
