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.

选项
A、It is about the military history of Europe.
B、It is set in the 18th and 19th centuries.
C、It is her fifth book of military history.
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。
