传记--进入气动真空的旅程

麦金纳尼1955年出生于哈特福德(康涅狄格州),是雷蒙德-卡佛(雷蒙德-卡佛在创意写作课程中对他进行了洗礼)的学生,他被准时贴上极简主义的标签,这个标签也困扰着美国文学的另一位神童布雷特-伊斯顿-埃利斯。

极简主义的称谓,在某些人看来是臭名昭著的,因为这些作家的故事是日常的浓缩,是最小的和重复的事件,尽管,这种同样的日常性往往带有悲剧和个人冲突的色彩。

相反,历史(大写的 "S")似乎在叙述的存在 "连续 "中消失了,在这一点上,与关于 "历史的结束 "的解释相联系,意味着伟大的时代事件的结束。

这里是几代人和社会阶层混乱的写照,空虚和没有方向,被可卡因、轻松的金钱和淫乱的性所控制。 然而,伴随着这一点,也有后现代主义试图扫除的现实主义的胜利回归。 然而,这是一个在千年末的社会,它有新的神话和新的明星在它的天穹:超级模特、造型师、围绕着这个镀金的、往往是不快乐的世界的暴力,只有通过那些经历过匿名的人物的'噩梦'才会出现,因为匿名是最糟糕的谴责。

书名本身就说明了很多情节的内容和背景:从《纽约的万家灯火》(这部小说使年仅29岁的麦金纳尼登上了地图)到《职业:模特》。 随后是《赎金》(1987)、《只为改变》(1989)、《熄灯》(1992)、《最后的野人》(1996)和《草地上的裸体》(2000)。

麦金纳尼自己是这样回忆他的开始的:"第一本书,就像初恋一样,是你无法忘怀的,我永远不会忘记加里打电话告诉我,兰登书屋买下了我的第一部小说,还没有命名。 1982年,圣诞节前夕。 我当时刚从雪城大学英语系毕业,住在我的未婚妻在雷蒙德-卡佛家对面的一个小出租屋里。 我简直是一贫如洗,快要向我父亲借钱买圣诞礼物了。 加里[文学经纪人,编者注]安排我匆匆拿到了预付款的前一半,不是一笔大数目,但对当时的我来说,这是一笔大钱。

在任何情况下,麦金纳尼不时被贴上雅皮士或 "非一代人 "的代言人的标签,他拒绝某些批评家的过度简单化的计划,认为自己是一个局外人。

一个多彩的说明是他对葡萄酒的热情,他是一个真正的鉴赏家,以至于他在《芝加哥论坛报》上保留了一个专门的专栏。
