J.K. Rowling
J·K·罗琳
Hoping to receive “totally unvarnished feedback,” the “Harry Potter” author adopted the pseudonym Robert Galbraith when she published “The Cuckoo’s Calling,” a book for adults, in 2013. It wasn’t the first time she had concocted a name: Joanne Rowling started going by initials, including a fictitious “K,” when a publisher warned her that boys might not buy books by a woman.
这位《哈利·波特》(Harry Potter)的作家希望得到“不加修饰的反馈”,于是在2013年以罗伯特·加尔布雷思(Robert Galbraith)为笔名出版了《布谷鸟的呼唤》这本书,这本书是写给成年人看的。这并不是她第一次起笔名了:她原名乔安妮·罗琳(Joanne Rowling),后来她把“乔安妮”变成了首字母“J”,还加上了一个虚构的首字母缩写“K”,因为一个出版商告诫她说,男孩子们不会买女人写的书。
