In this collection Justice Ginsburg discusses gender equality, the workings of the Supreme Court, being Jewish, law and lawyers in opera, and the value of looking beyond US shores when interpreting the US Constitution. Throughout her life Justice Ginsburg has been (and continues to be) a prolific writer and public speaker. This book’s sampling is selected by Justice Ginsburg and her authorized biographers Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. Williams, who introduce each chapter and provide biographical context and quotes gleaned from hundreds of interviews they have conducted.
The New York Times bestselling book from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—“a comprehensive look inside her brilliantly analytical, entertainingly wry mind, revealing the fascinating life of one of our generation's most influential voices in both law and public opinion” (Harper’s Bazaar).
My Own Words “showcases Ruth Ginsburg’s astonishing intellectual range” (The New Republic).
Witty, engaging, serious, and playful, My Own Words is a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America’s most influential women and “a tonic to the current national discourse” (The Washington Post).

From the acclaimed author of River Town and Oracle Bones, an intimate excavation of life in one of the world's oldest civilizations at a time of convulsive change
Drawn by an abiding fascination with Egypt's rich history and civilization, Peter Hessler moved with his wife and twin daughters to Cairo to explore a place that had a powerful hold over his imagination. He wanted to learn Arabic, explore Cairo's neighborhoods, research ancient history, and visit the legendary archeological digs. After years of covering China for The New Yorker, friends warned him it would be a much quieter place. But just before his arrival, the Arab Spring had reached Egypt and the country was in chaos.
In the midst of the revolution, he attached himself to an important archeological dig at a site rich in royal tombs known in as al-Madfuna, or "The Buried." He and his wife set out to master Arabic, striking up an important friendship with their language instructor, a cynical political sophisticate named Rifaat. And a very different kind of friendship was formed with their garbage collector, an illiterate neighborhood character named Saaed, whose access to the trash of Cairo would be its own kind of archeological excavation. Along the way, he meets a family of Chinese small business owners who have cornered the nation's lingerie trade; their pragmatic view of the political crisis is a bracing counterpoint to the West's conventional wisdom.
Through the lives of these ordinary Egyptians in a time of tragedy and heartache, while drawing connections between contemporary politics and the ancient past, Hessler creates a richly textured and original portrait of a revolution and the people swept up in it. Whether he's investigating the relics of pharaohs, the neighborhood trash that Saeed brings him, the Arabic vocabulary lists from Rifaat, or the Muslim Brotherhood documents left behind after mobs have looted their offices, Hessler finds subtle and illuminating insights to understand a nation from a new perspective.
What emerges is a book of uncompromising intelligence and glorious humanity. Through the lives of Saeed and Rifaat, we encounter a land in which a weak state has collapsed but its underlying society remains painfully the same. The Buried is an extraordinary achievement that unearths a new world for the reader, one filled with unforgettable people who escape their context and become universal.

《E.B.怀特书信集》是作家迄今最长的一部作品,也是他最具有自传性质的作品。他显然从未尝试过为成年人创作长篇小说,但他的书信带给我们小说所无法给予的东西:生活的日常细节,它所呈现的那些令人疲惫厌倦的责任和礼仪,那似乎无休止的生计维持(尽管它终有尽头),那些奔波劳作中日积月累的或被遗忘或被怀恋的时光。
——约翰·厄普代克
我们要感激E·B·怀特,不仅因其散文堪称完美;不仅因其眼光敏锐,乐观幽默,文字简洁;更因其多年来给予读者,不论老少,无尽的欢乐。
——国家图书委员会
E·B·怀特是拿捏习语——那些既切中肯綮又教人遐想,既卓尔不群又耳熟能详的字眼——的大师。种种机智,在他口中娓娓道来。

父与子,在路上。
如果余生还有一天,我希望能带上他,去旅行。
沿着公路,一直向北,从A城到Z城,从原野到废墟,不只让他看见世界,也让世界看见他——一个比“常人”多了一条染色体的可爱男孩。
我从前是一名医生,现在是一名人口普查员。这是我的新身份,准确地说,这是我与儿子共享的新身份。我一直觉得儿子更适合这份工作,因为他拥有“真正空白的内心”。他看待世界时不带杂念;他不为欲望所扰,不懂得阶级、肤色、语言的差异;他理解世界的方式与我们不同。
所以,临终之前,我选择与他共同旅行。我想透过他纯净的眼睛重新观看世界,我想通过人们对待他的方式重新反思人性。当然,我*想,网罗世间善意,送他温暖余生。
送往繁星,沿途告别。
孤独是必不可免的,我们对你的爱也是。
