About the Author/作者介绍: 海倫•麥克洛伊,1904年出生在一個紐約家庭。她的母親海倫•渥勒爾•麥克洛伊是位作家,父親威廉•麥克洛伊則是紐約報紙《夕陽》的編輯。良好的家庭文化背景使海倫•麥克洛伊自幼便展現出過人的寫作天賦。她從十四歲開始在《波士頓晚報》發表文章,十五歲又在《紐約時報》發表詩作。
1923年,麥克洛伊遠赴法國求學,就讀索邦神學院(巴黎大學前身)。一年後她完成學業,留在法國為多家報社做通訊記者,後於1931年重返美國。
1938年,麥克洛伊發表了以心理醫生拜佐爾•威靈為主角的推理小說處女作《死亡之舞》,正式踏上推理文壇。該書一經發表便引起世人矚目,好評如潮。麥克洛伊再接再厲,隨後幾年陸續發表多部拜佐爾•威靈系列小說以及數部以“二戰”為背景的非系列小說。
1946年,麥克洛伊和著名偵探小說家布瑞特•哈勒岱結為伉儷。婚後兩人育有一女,平時合作從事編輯工作,但仍獨立發表推理小說。1961年,兩人結束了長達十五年的婚姻。此後,麥克洛伊的創作逐漸從傳統推理小說轉向心理懸疑。1980年,麥克洛伊完成了她的第二十七部長篇推理小說,也是最後一部拜佐爾•威靈醫生小說——《燒毀》。1994 年,麥克洛伊辭世,享年九十歲。
麥克洛伊一生榮譽眾多:1950年她當選美國作家協會(Mystery Writers of America,簡稱MWA,麥克洛伊的丈夫哈勒岱是四位創始人之一)主席,成為該協會有史以來的第一任女性主席;1953年,她因推理小說評論方面的傑出貢獻而獲“愛德格•愛倫坡獎”;1990年,麥克洛伊榮獲美國作家協會的最高終身成就獎——“大師獎”。
Helen McCloy was born in New York City. Her mother was the writer Helen Worrell McCloy and father, William McCloy, was the longtime managing editor of the New York Evening Sun. Having read Sherlock Holmes as a young girl, McCloy retained an interest in mysteries and began to write them in the 1930s. Her first novel, Dance of Death, was published in 1933 and was followed by several other crime publications in the 1940s.
The most famous of McCloy’s characters was Dr Basil Willing, who subsequently appeared in twelve of her novels and several short stories. McCloy often used the theme of doppelgänger, but at the end of each story she showed a psychological or realistic explanation for the seemingly supernatural events. What can be considered as one of McCLoy’s masterpieces is the eighth Basil Willing novel, THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY (1950), a supernatural puzzle in the tradition of Dickson Carr.
In 1946 McCloy married Davis Dresser, who had gained fame with his Mike Shayne novels, written under the pseudonym Brett Halliday. She founded with Dressler the Torquil Publishing Company and a literary agency (Halliday and McCloy). Their marriage ended in 1961. In the 1950s and 1960s McCloy was a co-author of review column for Connecticut newspapers and in 1950 she became the first woman to serve as president of Mystery Writers of America. In 1953 she received an Edgar from the same organization for her critics.
