麦克斯·珀金斯是美国最为知名的文学编辑之一,发现、挖掘、塑造了菲茨杰拉德、海明威、沃尔夫等多位天才文学巨匠,几乎是以一己之力改变了20世纪美国文学的图景。他认为“编辑自我隐形”是编辑的一种职业操守,在出版活动中编辑不应该引人注目,编辑工作很大一部分的任务在于要尽己所能地发掘、塑造作者的才华,编辑知名度太大反而会影响读者对作者的信任。在麦克斯·珀金斯的编辑生涯中,他不仅是连接图书和作者的桥梁,许多时候更像是探索者,在不断地寻找中发掘优秀的作者和具有潜力的作品。他独特的工作风格和出色的编辑思想,影响着一代又一代的出版人。麦克斯·珀金斯的编辑思想及其工作风格值得当代的编辑从业者借鉴和学习。
Max Perkins, one of the most well-known literary editors in the United States, discovered and excavated a number of genius literary masters such as Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Wolf and changed the 20th century Picture of American literature. In his opinion, “editorial invisibility” is a kind of professional ethics of editors. Editing should not be noticeable in the publishing activities. The task of a large part of the editorial work is to discover and create the author’s talent as much as possible. Too much popularity but will affect the reader’s trust in the author. During his career with Max Perkins, he not only served as a bridge between books and authors, but more often as an explorer, constantly searching for outstanding authors and potential works. His unique work style and excellent editorial influence publishers from generation to generation. Max Perkins’s editorship and style of work draw upon and learn from contemporary editorial practitioners.
