作为一名评论家,我最喜欢的事情之一就是寻找新作家的书,他们拥有独特的声音和视野,具有讲故事的创造性天赋。我也喜欢沉浸在非小说类作品中,这些作品教会了我一些关于世界的知识,让过去变得生动起来,或者揭示历史或新闻中隐藏的角落。
(One of my favorite things, as a critic, was finding books by new writers who possessed a distinctive voice and vision, an inventive gift for storytelling. I also loved immersing myself in works of nonfiction that taught me something about the world, that made the past come alive or shed light on hidden corners of history or the news.)
