摘要在20世纪美国文学史上,卡森·麦卡勒斯(1917～1967)是一位成就突出的现代南方女作家。发表于1943年的中篇小说《伤心咖啡馆之歌》被誉为麦卡靳斯的一部扛鼎力作,其故事情节已经广为熟知,然而作品问世后的一段插曲却多半鲜为人知:作者曾因"反犹倾向"的指控而一度遭受精神折磨。从《伤心咖啡馆之歌》的"反犹倾向"谈起,尝试对文本的"过度阐释"及其特定历史语境作出简要分析,从而加深理解麦卡勒斯的反主流立场。 Carson McCullers ranks as one of the outstanding Southern American women writers in the twentieth-century American literary history. Her novella The Ballad of the Sad Café is generally regarded as her best work. However, it has seldom been noted that upon the publication of this work the author was spiritually plagued by accusations of “anti-Semitism”. A brief analysis of this obvious case of “overinterpretation” with regard to its specific historical contexts may well contribute to the understanding of the author's stand against the mainstream ideology of her times.
