Elif Shafak  In One Brief Moment All Eternity

福楼拜常被奉为现代小说的开创者，他的“客观写作”几乎成为现实主义的美学标杆。但沙法克没有继续加固这座作者神坛，而是追问：当福楼拜用砒霜结束爱玛的生命时，那些被他命名、被他塑造、被他沉默的女性，是否也拥有自己的叙述权？

这正是沙法克一贯的写作命题。她长期关注女性、少数群体与历史中的失语者，从《名誉》到《失踪树木的岛屿》，她始终在写那些被宏大叙事忽略的人。这一次，她把这个问题放回十九世纪法国：文学经典究竟是谁的记忆，又是谁的遗忘？

书名：In One Brief Moment All Eternity

作者：Elif Shafak 

简介：In One Brief Moment All Eternity is an astonishing new novel by the bestselling, prize-winning novelist Elif Shafak. Spanning decades and continents, from revolutionary 19th century France to Istanbul, Egypt and Beirut, it is a profound meditation on creativity in times of political crisis and war, asking what literature can hope to offer when the world feels broken. Building a fascinating bridge between Western prose and Eastern poetry, this story offers a luminous portrait of the life of an iconic writer, Gustave Flaubert, author of Madame Bovary, told through the lives of the women – both real and fictional – who shaped him.
