I was pretty dead set against ever writing an academic novel. It's always been my view that there are already more than enough academic novels and that most of them aren't any good. Most of them are self-conscious and bitter, the work of people who want to settle grudges.

  • -- Richard Russo 理查德·罗素

我坚决反对写学术小说。我一直认为，学术小说已经够多了，而且大多数都不好。他们中的大多数人都是有自我意识的和痛苦的，他们的工作是那些想要解决怨恨的人的工作。
