About the Author/作者介绍： 奥丽芙•西尼尔于1941年出生，在特里洛尼，以及威斯特摩兰，买加教区的另一个农村牙度过了童年。在她的特里劳尼村，她是一户有着十个孩子的贫穷家庭中的一员；在比较富裕的威斯特摩兰的亲戚中，她是独生女。她几乎是在牙买加两个极端基于种族，肤色和阶级的家庭中移动。她现在住在加拿大。
她是《消息在改变》（牙买加 1972年的大选）、《说话的树》（诗集）、《参考书：牙买加遗产》以及朗文加勒比海作家系列《蛇女的到来》的作者。《夏天的闪电》是奥丽芙•西尼尔的第一本短篇小说集，并获得了1987年的英联邦作家奖。
Born in 1941, Olive Senior spent her early years in Trelawny and another rural Jamaican parish, Westmoreland. In her Trelawny village she was one of ten children in a poor family; she was an only child in her relatives’ Westmoreland home of comparative wealth. Moving between households, she was pretty much being shifted between two extremes of a continuum based on race, colour and class in Jamaica. She now lives in Canada.
She is the author of The Message is Change (on the 1972 General Elections in Jamaica), Talking of Trees (a collection of poems), a reference book, A-Z of Jamaican Heritage, andArrival of the snake woman in the Longman Caribbean Writers Series. Summer Lightning, winner of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for 1987, is Olive Senior’s first collection of short stories.
