美国女作家玛丽·麦卡锡(Mary McCarthy)的《回忆詹米·鲍德温》(詹米系詹姆斯曲昵称)一文栽于1989年4月27日的一期《纽约书评》双周刊。我的兴趣的引起是由于麦卡锡眼中的三位美国名作家间的“三角”关系。爱德紫·威尔逊与鲍德温都已逝世。麦卡锡此文不但是在纪念鲍德温,而且也是在怀念她的前夫。短短的一篇文章中,玛丽活栩栩地描出了鲍德温的生活习惯与他的灵活脾性,她自己对“第三世界”作家的藐视(甚至包括了加西亚·马尔克斯与意大洛·卡尔维诺),她对法国文学界人士的不耐烦,以及她对威尔逊老年孤寂的怜悯。玛丽·麦卡锡现与丈夫鲍姆斯·威斯特(退休的外交家)在巴黎定居。她自己的后期生活很美满。
The American woman writer Mary McCarthy’s “Memories of Jamie Baldwin” (James Jamie James Nickname) was printed in a 27 April 1989 issue of the New York Book Review bi-weekly. My interest was caused by the “triangle” relationship between the three famous American writers in McCarthy’s eyes. Ed Purple Wilson and Baldwin have both died. McCarthy This article not only commemorates Baldwin, but also in memory of her ex-husband. In a short essay, Mary vividly portrayed Baldwin’s habits and his flexible temperament, and she defied “Third World” writers (even including Garcia Marquez and Italian Dalí Calvino), her impatience with the French literary community and her compassion for Wilson’s loneliness. Mary McCarthy lives in Paris with her husband, Bormes West, a retired diplomat. Her own late life is very happy.
