布雷特·道格拉斯: 我的妻子张纯如, 记忆与写作之痛

我的妻子张纯如:记忆与写作之痛 文 / 布雷特·道格拉斯 来源《南京大屠杀》 1988 年 10 月,我第一次见到我的妻子张纯如,那时她是一个美丽可人、才华横溢的女孩,浑身充满朝气。如果当时有人告诉我,她将来会写出一部被翻译成 15 种语言的畅销书,我丝毫不会感到惊讶。但我万万没想到的是,在她去世 7 年后的今天,我竟然在为她的著作《南京大屠杀》写一篇尾声。我曾经以为,以纯如在 30 岁时表现出来的活力、激情和干劲,她即使到了 80 岁甚至 90 岁,也能写出伟大的作品。 虽然在遇到对方之前,我们都没有太多的约会经历,但相识不久我们就发现我们是完美的一对。我们幸运地在一起度过了 16 年的幸福时光。在我写作这篇尾声之前,有两本关于纯如生平的书已经出版:保拉•卡门 (Paula Kamen) 的《发现张纯如》 (Finding Iris Chang) ,以及纯如母亲张盈盈的《张纯如:无法忘却历史的女子》 (The Woman Who Could Not Forget) 。这两本书写得都很好,我建议想进一步了解纯如的人不妨一读。纯如的离世太过突然,加之她是一个不事张扬的人,因而她生活的许多方面和她的死因都被蒙上了一层神秘色彩。感谢基本书局 (Basic Books) 给我这个填补空白的机会,澄清纯如生命中的诸多谜团,从而让她的精神和作品永留于世。    张盈盈的《张纯如:无法忘却历史的女子》一书详细描述了纯如一生的点点滴滴,我无意对此做进一步的补充完善。相反,我将集中介绍几个我认为促进纯如成功的关键因素。纯如的父母都曾在哈佛大学获得博士学位并以科学研究为业,因此纯如从小就重视智力成果的价值。青少年时期,她在伊利诺伊大学图书馆和其他地方图书馆中花费数千小时,锻炼阅读和快速处理信息的能力。纯如编辑了一份详尽的诺贝尔奖和普利策奖获奖作品清单,以及奥斯卡获奖电影名单,并着手阅读其中每一部作品,观看每一部影片。她连休息日都在系统研究这些著作和电影。    纯如中学阶段就读于伊利诺伊大学附属中学 (University of Illinois ’ s University High School ,简称伊大附中 ) ,学校很小,但学习压力很大,学生主要由通过了严格入学考试的教授子女组成,大家学习都很刻苦。该校出了好几位诺贝尔奖得主,以及其他许多获
