E•B•怀特(E. B. White,1899—1985),“二十世纪最伟大的美国随笔作家”。作为《纽约客》主要撰稿人的怀特一手奠定了影响深远的“《纽约客》文风”。怀特对尘世上的一切都怀着“面对复杂,保持欢喜”的态度,其人格魅力与文字修养一样山高水长。除了他终生挚爱的随笔之外,他还为孩子们写了三本书:《精灵鼠小弟》、《夏洛的网》与《吹小号的天鹅》,同样被誉为“二十世纪读者最多、最受爱戴的童话”,成为儿童与成人共同喜爱的文学经典。

怀特的文字直白世俗,但沾染着饱满的情调,算是老一辈美国人最精粹的风范。鲁迅先生也曾考虑过如何改造雕饰过分的汉语,怀特所昭示的未必不是一条路子。

比较喜欢这就是纽约一篇,问题还是,怀特老师的散文的确在耐读性上差了点。
