剧作家索尔顿．怀尔德 (Thornton
Wilder) 出生
1897年4月17日
怀尔德的作品是用放大镜来检视人类。在他得到普利兹剧作奖的作品「九死一生」 (The
Skin of Our Teeth，1943) 中，怀尔德检视了战争、疾病、贫穷，以及因大火造成的毁坏等等。他的另一部得奖剧作「我们的小镇」 (Our
Town，1937) ，是以新罕布夏尔州一个虚构的小镇葛洛佛科那 (Grover
Corner) 为背景，可能就和照片中的这个地方有点相像。这出剧作同样也是关注人类共通的经验之上。你觉得哪些经验是人类都共同曾拥有过的呢？问问你的家人看他们有没有看过怀尔德的剧作，或读过怀尔德的小说。
Wilder's writing puts humankind under a magnifying glass. In his Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Skin of Our Teeth (1943), he looks at war, disease, poverty, and the destruction caused by fire. His other prize-winning play, Our Town (1937), takes place in a fictional town called Grover's Corner, New Hampshire, perhaps much like the town in this photograph. The play again focuses on the universality of human experience. What human experiences can you think of that are universal? Ask your family if they have ever seen a play or read a novel by Thornton Wilder.
