| 摘要： | Ever since Mark Twain, rivers have had a deep connection with the literary life. Nothing can scaffold a novel or film plot like a river journey, as many classic novels and films bear witness. The reckless mission in "The African Queen," the canoe trip upriver in "Black Robe," the journey into the heart of darkness in Conrad's novel and Coppola's film, the descent into terror in "Deliverance": are all unforgettable. And that's just fiction. If "river memoir" isn't a recognized sub-genre of non-fiction literature, it should be. Whether the authors are working pilots like Twain, journalists like John McPhee, ca-noers making a trip downstream or passengers on paddlewheelers like the Delta Queen, writers seem to derive endless inspiration from rivers and river journeys-especially the "great brown god" of the Mississippi River. |
