书籍介绍
何以解忧，唯有杜康。文人和酒似乎总是分不开的。酒可助兴，可去愁，是灵感的源头，也是病痛的开始。弗朗西斯·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德、欧内斯特·海明威、田纳西·威廉斯、约翰·契弗、约翰·贝里曼和雷蒙德·卡佛。这六个男人的一生都在与酒与混乱不堪的命运纠缠，他们从纽约喝到巴黎，从深夜痛饮至黎明，在酒吧和戒酒互助会两头缠绵，可同时他们也写出了世间最美的作品。在《回声泉之旅》中，奥利威亚·莱恩从纽约出发，一路南下到基维斯特再北上西雅图，带我们探寻在这六个人传奇的一生中，酒与灵感的密切关系。褪去酒瘾作家的神秘外衣，他们那天才般的创造力是以什么为代价得来的呢？

精彩摘录
- "“回声泉”不过是一个酒柜的绰号，因为里面装的波旁酒的牌子是因“回声泉”而得名。然而，其象征意义却完全不同：也许是一切归于寂静；也许是心中苦念的消褪；至少，在喝下那一口琼浆玉露时，这个世界暂时只剩下欢愉。"
- "酒精是“巨人杀手”，令你欲罢不能的毒药。这话直击人心，如同《麦克白》中，门房那番关于酗酒的言辞：“所以多喝酒，对于淫欲也可以说是个两面派：成全它，又破坏它；捧它的场，又拖它的后腿；鼓励它，又打击它；替它撑腰，又让它站不住脚；结果呢，两面派把它哄睡了，叫它做了一场荒唐的春梦，就溜之大吉了。”"

- "All his life, Hemingway possessed a genius for packing, for assembling trunks and fishing boxes; for stowing the things he needed on his travels in the most elegant and ingenious of ways. There’s something of the same facility here, in this knack for building secret layers, for filling his fictions "
- "Writing in the Nation, Adrienne Rich described it (Dream Songs) as ‘creepy and scorching’, observing ‘his book owes much of its beauty and flair to a kind of unfakable courage, which spills out in comedy as well as in rage, in thrusts of tenderness as well as defian Inspiration contained a death thr"
