出版界人物：遠景沈登恩（1949─2004） (黃春明等)
眾多的供稿人中，各人的看法不一。傳言沈登恩因作諾貝爾文學獎全集的宣傳費高，差點破產。印象深刻的是，70年代初，鹿橋的書要由遠景出版，必須寫信給王雲五告罪、解釋。他身後，中文"全集"再交由商務出版。彭淮棟翻譯的《魔山》，以數萬元賣給遠景。沈登恩 - 遠景文學網www.vistaread.com/aboutshen.phpTranslate this...

1977年冬，森堯學長從倫敦來Colchester訪我。他跟我說《說吧！記憶》值得一讀。我到圖書館拿起這本舊書，就像蔣彝先生的《倫敦啞行》那般舊。不過，後者還有彩色圖詩，而納布可夫的，只是文字的魅力。數十年之後我看到”兩岸”的翻譯本，都沒什麼味道。「在我寫詩寫到無可救藥的時候，只有兩種選擇：不是把一首詩寫完，就是死亡。」——納博可夫，《說吧，記憶》“Sleep is the most moronic...
