The Death of Zacharias

He was right to do so. When Herod realised that the astrologers were not going to come back, he flew into a rage and ordered that every child in Bethlehem and the neighbourhood under two years of age should be killed at once.

One of the children of the right age was John, the son of Zacharias and Elizabeth. As soon as they heard of Herod's plan, Elizabeth took him up into the mountains looking for somewhere to hide. But she was old and could not walk very far, and in her despair she cried out 'Oh mountain of God, shelter a mother and her child!'

At once the mountain opened and offered her a cave in which to shelter.

So she and the child were safe, but Zacharias was in trouble. Herod knew that he had recently fathered a child, and sent for him.

'Where is your child? Where have you hidden him?'

'I am a busy priest, Your Majesty! I spend all my time about the business of the temple! Looking after children is women's work. I don't know where my son can be.'

'I warn you–tell the truth! I can spill your blood if I want to.'

'If you shed my blood, I shall be a martyr to the Lord,' said Zacharias, and that came true, because he was killed there and then.

非虚构何以可能：中国优秀非虚构作家访谈录·Ⅰ
文学刘蒙之张焕敏
新世纪以来，文学新闻、叙事新闻、长报道、非虚构写作等概念相继出现，其内涵有所差别又大同小异。2005年，纽约大学教授罗伯特·博因顿（Robert S. Boynton）把新新闻主义的最新表现形式称为“新新新闻主义”。可以说，新新闻主义写作运动曲折前行。今天，新新闻主义写作理念、风格与技巧被传统媒体如报纸、杂志以及新媒体广泛采用，成为媒体间“讲故事”竞争的重要技艺。特别是近年来，新媒体超越传统媒体成为新闻传播的主要平台，但其快速、便捷传播新闻信息的优势有带来“速朽”与“易碎”的先天缺陷。在此背景下，新旧媒体都重建新新闻主义写作的传统。在这种背景下，重新回顾新新闻主义的发展过程与写作理念，对媒体“讲好故事”，提升内容生产能力，加强竞争优势具有重要的借鉴意义。本书分访谈的是活跃在写作一线的著名非虚构作家，所有书籍都是通力合作的成果，本书更是如此。我特此向在百忙之中参加访谈的所有作家表示感谢。本书关军、迟宇宙、卫毅、柴春芽、张赞波、陈徒手、南香红、杨海军、周华诚、易小荷、范承刚、王天挺、杨潇、叶伟民、田毅20等作家整个过程中都给予热心的支持。
