今天,儿子的全英文小说集To Be Continued…
《未完,待续…》正式出版了!它选取了儿子8~12岁(主要是后期)的10篇英文小说,约10万字。
这本书的名字不像《英语,儿子“教”我学》那么难产(想了大半年,名字一箩筐,却始终不满意,最后还是责编一天早上灵光乍现想出来的),因为儿子习惯在他每篇没有结尾的小说最后都要写上to
be continued(未完待续),所以信手拈来就起了这个书名。
回味起来觉得很不错,毕竟儿子才12岁,他的成长一定是在未完待续中。儿子在前言中这样解释:一方面读者可以续写;另一方面意味着他还将继续写下去。Few
of my stories in this book have endings. Even those with endings
are sort of unfinished. This is why I named my first book To Be
Continued. These stories can all be continued and I wouldn’t
mind if my readers continue them. I don’t expect that my stories
would have great impact on my readers, but I do hope that even
though my stories don’t have endings as they should, they still
carry some information far more important than an ending. That is …
I will continue to write more books!
今天又晚又累了,先简单地写几句留住今天这个特殊的日子。这本书还将引发更多的故事。
未完,待续…
