谁不爱被当成圣人对待
(uk) Marie-kay Wilmes
Ms. Wilmes, the author of "Who Doesn't Love to Be Treated as a Saint", can be described as a "famous editor" of the British generation, and has maintained good personal relationships with many British literary figures. This collection of her essays can be called "one person's history of contemporary British literature", covering most of the important writers of contemporary British literature. It uses rich British humor and typical British ridicule to vividly depict anecdotes about the contemporary British literary world. Anecdotes and ephemera are wonderful examples of literature; the London Review of Books, which she edits, insists on publishing pertinent, independent, outspoken and insightful book reviews, and is a benchmark for British literary taste, style and fashion. As the editor-in-chief of the London Review of Books, a highly influential European literary and art publication, Mary-Kay Wilmes has a group of loyal writers and scholarly contributors around her. She is indifferent to some well-known big-name authors, but only favors truly good writing and good knowledge. This book collects her recollections of several key figures in the London Review of Books, her book reviews (especially her love of writing about shocking "bad women") and her diary. In addition, there are articles written by Frank Kermode, Mary Beard, Wendy Steiner and other important authors of the London Review of Books on their interactions with Wilmes. These are exclusive historical materials and are publicly available to readers for the first time. Mary-Kay Wilmers spent her teenage years in the United States, Belgium and England, and studied French and Russian at Oxford University as an undergraduate. She originally intended to be a simultaneous interpreter, but after graduating from college, she worked as a secretary at Eliot's Faber Publishing House, during which time she began to write for the New Statesman. After that, she worked as deputy editor of "The Listener" magazine and fiction editor of "The Times Literary Supplement". In 1979, she co-founded the "London Review of Books" with Carl Miller, and has served as independent editor-in-chief since 1992. In 2009, she published a family history, The Eitingons, and in 2018, a collection of essays, Human Relaitons And Other Difficulties. Sheng Yun is a contributing editor of the Shanghai Review of Books, a contributor to the London Review of Books and the Times Literary Supplement, and has maintained a deep friendship with Ms. Wilmes.
