WASTE OF TIMELESSNESS AND OTHER EARLY STORIES
Book ID/图书代码： 09894517C00011
English Summary/英文概要： Written when Anais Nin was in her twenties and living in France, the stories collected in Waste of Timelessness contain many elements familiar to those who know her later work as well as revelatory, early clues to themes developed in those more mature stories and novels. Seeded with details remembered from childhood and from life in Paris, the wistful tales portray artists, writers, strangers who meet in the night, and above all, women and their desires. These experimental and deeply introspective missives lay out a central theme of Nin’s writing: the contrast between the public and private self. The stories are taut with unrealized sexual tension and articulate the ways that language and art can shape reality. Nin’s deft humor, ironic wit, and ecstatic prose display not only superb craftsmanship but also the author’s own constant balancing act between feeling and rationality, vulnerability and strength. Perhaps more than any other writer of the twentieth century, she mastered that act and wrote about it on her own terms, defying the literary and social norms of the time.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当阿娜伊丝•宁20多岁的时候生活在法国，那些在永恒浪费里收集的故事，包含了许多熟悉的元素，这些人都知道她后来的作品，以及那些更成熟的故事和小说的主题。从童年巴黎的生活中得到的细节，充满渴望的故事描绘的是艺术家、作家、在夜晚相遇的陌生人，最重要的是女人和她们的欲望。这些实验和深度内省的信件，阐述了宁写作的一个中心主题:公众和私人的自我之间的对比。这些故事紧绷着，没有意识到的性张力，并清晰地表达了语言和艺术能够塑造现实的方式。宁的幽默、机智的讽刺和狂喜的散文不仅展示了高超的技艺，而且也展示了作者在情感与理性、脆弱与力量之间的平衡。也许比二十世纪的任何一位作家都要多，她掌握了这一行为，并以自己的方式写了这篇文章，冲破了当时的文学和社会规范。（WYL）
