參考譯文

像藝術(shù)家和作家這樣的人通常都是獨(dú)自工作，沒有別人在身邊。而我的大多數(shù)朋友都是在商店之類的地方和別人一起工作，他們告訴我，如果一個(gè)人干，他們將什么也弄不成。我也不相信所有的藝術(shù)家和作家都能獨(dú)立完成工作。

我出生在鄉(xiāng)下的一個(gè)小村子里，那里的每個(gè)人都互相認(rèn)識(shí)：也就是說，除了一個(gè)把自己封閉起來的作家外，其他人他們都認(rèn)識(shí)。到我長(zhǎng)大到能夠記住別人名字的時(shí)候，他已經(jīng)在村子里生活了至少20年，而村民還把他看做陌生人！每天早上，他都會(huì)走到當(dāng)?shù)氐纳痰昀镔I東西，盡管他不得不向碰到的每個(gè)人打招呼，但只有兩三個(gè)人搭理他。只是在偶然的情況下，才有人問他做什么工作，而每次他的回答都一樣：“我還在寫書。”那就是我們對(duì)他的全部了解。

因?yàn)闆]有人去過他家，所以有一次，我和三四個(gè)男孩去他家，想看看他在干什么。我們爬上窗戶向里張望，希望看見我們的作家坐在桌旁打字。而實(shí)際情況是，他正坐在扶手椅上看書。
