M: Welcome to this week’s episode of Book Talk. With me today is Heidi Brown, a historian who has written five critically acclaimed books about military history.
W: Thanks for having me, John. I’m so excited to talk about my latest book, which was published last month.
M: So, this book is a novel, your first attempt at that genre. And that’s a bit of a departure for you.
W: I’d say it’s a major departure as it’s not just a work of fiction. It’s set 200 years in the future.
M: Right. So how did that happen? You spent three decades writing about the past and focusing on the 18th and 19th centuries. And now you’re speculating about the future.
W: Well, after years of researching soldiers and chronicling their lives during battle, I just started wondering about other facets of their lives, especially their personal lives.
M: I can see that. Your novel is about soldiers, but it focuses on their relationships, especially the bonds between sons and mothers, and men and their wives.
W: Yes. That focus came about when I still intended to write another book of history. I started by researching soldiers’ actual personal lives, studying their letters home.
M: So how did that history book become a novel?
W: Well, I realized that the historical record was incomplete. So, I’d either have to leave a lot of gaps or make a lot more assumptions than a historian should.
M: But why write a novel set in the future, when your credentials are perfect for a historical novel? As a historian, any historical novel you write would have a lot of credibility.
W: I felt too constrained working with the past, like what I wrote needed to be fact as opposed to fiction, but writing about the future gave me more freedom to imagine, to invent.
M: Well, having read your book, I’m glad you made that choice to move into fiction.

D、It is a war novel set in the future.

答案D

解析 对话中,女士说道:“我认为这是一次很大的转变,因为它不仅仅是一部小说。它是以200年后的未来为背景的。”随后女士详述了这部小说的写作背景:经过多年对士兵的研究和对他们战时生活的记录,她开始好奇士兵们生活的其他方面,尤其是他们的个人生活。由此可推知,女士新出版的书是一部以200年后的未来为背景的战争小说,故D项为正确答案。A项对话中未提及,故排除。B项和C项均与对话内容不符,故也排除。
