2026年诺贝尔文学奖揭晓！76岁加拿大诗人安妮·卡森获奖，接到电话时正在冰岛听风

北京时间10月8日晚19点整，2026年诺贝尔文学奖揭晓获奖名单。

瑞典文学院宣布，将2026年诺贝尔文学奖授予加拿大作家安妮·卡森，以表彰“她大胆且富有创造力的作品群，在与古典传统的嬉戏对话中，为当代文学创造了新形式”。

Canadian poet and writer Anne Carson, whose work often blends verse, prose, dialogue and translation in a genre-defying mix, won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday for her "bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature".

诺贝尔文学奖被认为是全球文学界最负盛名的奖项，颁发给毕生成就的作家。获奖者将获得1200万瑞典克朗的奖金，折合人民币约815万元。

The Nobel Literature Prize, regarded as the most prestigious award in global literature, is awarded for a lifetime body of work. The winner receives 12 million Swedish kronor, equivalent to about 8.15 million yuan.

瑞典学院常任秘书英格丽德·卡尔贝里透露，在获奖消息公布前不久，她曾通过电话告知卡森这一消息。“她还特意告诉我，她现在身在冰岛，正在聆听风声，”卡尔贝里说。“她感到很意外，但也非常高兴。我能从她的声音里听出来。”

Ingrid Carlberg, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, said she had told Carson of the award on the phone shortly before the news broke. "She had time to tell me that she is, for the moment, in Iceland, where she is listening to the wind," Carlberg said. "She was taken by surprise but very happy. I could hear that in her voice."

“语言魔法师”

穿梭于古典与现代之间

在诺贝尔文学奖公布之前，安妮·卡森是各大网站和网友预测中最热门的候选人之一。

卡森于1950年6月21日在加拿大多伦多出生，诗人、随笔作家、翻译家及古典文学学者。她以其独特的跨界写作风格著称，打破了诗歌、散文、小说、戏剧、翻译和学术批评的体裁界限，将古希腊神话与现代生活巧妙融合，被誉为“语言魔法师”。

她曾在多所高校任教，包括普林斯顿大学、纽约大学和麦吉尔大学。在123位诺贝尔文学奖得主中，她是第19位女性获奖者。

Born in Toronto in 1950, Carson is known for work that moves freely between poetry, prose, and translation, drawing heavily on the literature and mythology of the ancient Greek world. 

She has been a professor of classics at various institutions, including Princeton, New York University, and McGill University in Montreal. She is the 19th woman to win, out of 123 literature laureates.

她最重要的代表作之一《红的自传》（1998）是一部诗体小说。她从古希腊诗人斯特西克洛斯的纸莎草碎片中获得灵感，将神话中长着红色翅膀的怪物革律翁重新塑造成一个充满脆弱感和自我意识的当代少年，让一个被赫拉克勒斯猎杀的怪物拥有了温柔的灵魂。作家迈克尔·翁达杰称这部作品是“架在古典文本与当代自传诗之间一座雄心勃勃的奇特桥梁”。

另一部代表作《丈夫之美》（2001）则以独特的探戈结构剖析了婚姻的复杂与破碎。正是这部长诗为她赢得了英国T.S.艾略特诗歌奖，她也成为该奖项自1993年设立以来第一位获此殊荣的女诗人。

Her best-known work is Autobiography of Red, a 1998 novel in verse inspired by the fragments of the ancient Greek poet Stesichorus. It reimagines the myth of Geryon, the red-winged monster killed by Herakles, as the story of a modern teenage boy navigating heartbreak and desire.

In 2001, she became the first woman to win the TS Eliot prize, for her collection The Beauty of the Husband, which charts the breakdown of a marriage between two unnamed characters. 

此外，她还曾获得麦克阿瑟天才奖、格里芬诗歌奖、阿斯图里亚斯公主奖等多项国际重要文学奖项。

“戴上拳套！”

她用拳击对抗帕金森

2024年，卡森在《伦敦书评》发表题为《戴上拳套！》的文章，透露自己患上了帕金森症。长年坚持手写创作的她，字迹已开始变形，甚至越来越难以辨认。同年，她在丹麦路易斯安那文学节接受采访时谈到疾病对手写的影响：“我会羞愧地涂掉整段文字……为糟糕的字迹感到羞耻。”

为对抗病症，70多岁的卡森选择参加拳击课，以训练自己的手眼协调和动作组织能力。

Carson started taking boxing lessons when she was already in her 70s because of a Parkinson's disease diagnosis. The sport is recommended as a therapy because it helps with paying attention to hand-eye coordination and the sequencing of actions.

She reflected on the disease's impact on her handwriting in an interview at the Louisiana Literary Festival in Denmark in 2024: "I scrub out whole paragraphs in shame...the shame of bad handwriting."

卡森已确定在2027年2月出版一本新作，主题与疾病、手写相关。
