Paul Auster: 本期节目回顾了斯蒂芬·克莱恩的生平和作品，重点探讨了克莱恩独特的写作风格、对社会现实的敏锐观察以及他对现代主义文学的影响。Auster认为克莱恩不仅错过了他自己的未来，也让读者错过了他可能创作出的更多激进文学作品。他详细分析了克莱恩的代表作《麦琪》和《红色英勇勋章》，指出克莱恩的写作风格具有鲜明的现代主义特征，例如拒绝说教、注重细节描写、以及对人物心理的深入刻画。他还谈到了克莱恩的新闻写作经历，认为克莱恩的新闻作品与他的小说创作互相影响，共同塑造了他独特的写作风格。Auster认为克莱恩的写作风格介于清晰和模糊之间，这种独特的风格使得他的作品具有永恒的魅力。Auster还推测，如果克莱恩活得更长，他可能会创作出更多第一人称视角的作品。 Michael Loewinger: Michael Loewinger作为主持人，引导Paul Auster对Stephen Crane的生平和作品进行深入探讨。他提出了关于Crane作品中现代主义元素、新闻写作风格以及其作品被遗忘的原因等问题，并与Auster就这些问题进行了深入的交流。Loewinger还引用了Crane的诗歌和小说片段，帮助听众更好地理解Crane的写作风格和思想。他引导讨论关注了Crane作品中对社会现实的反映，特别是对贫困、战争和社会不公的描写，以及Crane作品中体现出的对人性的深刻洞察。Loewinger也参与了对Crane作品中独特视角和写作技巧的讨论，例如Crane作品中对细节的关注、对人物心理的刻画以及其作品中体现出的对社会现实的批判性反思。

Last week, news broke that writer Paul Auster died from complications related to lung cancer. The New York Times called him “the patron saint of literary Brooklyn;” elsewhere he was dubbed "the dean of American postmodernists." He was the author of many novels such as *The New York Trilogy, *and he wrote screenplays, memoirs, and nonfiction, including Burning Boy: The Life and Work of Stephen Crane.

He was also a long-time friend of Brooke and her husband Fred Kaplan — they lived a few blocks away from each other in their Brooklyn neighborhood. In November of 2021, Paul Auster walked over to Brooke’s home studio to talk about Stephen Crane.
