The Rabbit Hole as Likely Explanation/Ann Beattie

Sunday, April 11, 2004

The Rabbit Hole as Likely Explanation, The New Yorker, Apr. 2004.

就好象Ann三年前在《纽约客》上的小说Find and Replace/Ann Beattie一样,这一篇也是讲述女儿和年迈的母亲之间的事情。

“And the other family—maybe it's like the mixup between the man dreaming he's a butterfly, or the butterfly dreaming he's a man. Maybe you were confused after your stroke, or it came to you in a dream and it seemed real, the way dreams sometimes linger. Maybe you couldn't understand how we'd all aged, so you invented us again as young people. And for some reason Tim got frozen in time. You said the other wife looked like you. Well, maybe she was you.”
