菲利普·罗斯“美国三部曲”的新现实主义解读

美国当代作家菲利普.罗斯在以上世纪末创作的美国三部曲为代表的后期作品中表现出了以历史与虚构相互融合为显著特征的新现实主义走向。这不仅是创作手法的简单转向。罗斯在小说创作中巧妙运用了美国社会历史特殊时域、地域及在此背景之下的中产阶级典型人物代表的塑造等三个新现实主义文化要素,描述了二战后美国社会重大历史事件对普通人生活的影响,再现了当代美国人在荒谬的历史中所面临的生存困境。

Neo-realism Interpretation of American Trilogy by Philip Roth

As one of the most prominent writers,Philip Roth's American Trilogy and his later novels illustrate us a new writing tendency of neo-realism which features interaction of history and fiction.This is not merely a simple transition of writing style,in which Roth combines the American special historical eras,places with image-building of middle-class to describe the overwhelming pressures of post-war American history on the life of ordinary people and the dilemma they are deeply in.
