I am most interested in people, in meeting them and finding out about them. Some of the most remarkable people I’ve met existed only in a writer’s imagination, then on the pages of his book, and then again, in my imagination. I’ve found in books new friends, new societies, and new worlds.
我最感兴趣的是人,是认识他们,了解他们。我所见过的一些最了不起的人,只是存在于一个作家的想象中,然后出现在他的书中,然后又出现在我的想象中。我在书中发现了新的朋友,新的社会,新的世界。
