来自边缘的声音——《看不见的人》的音乐特色

Voice from Rimland:Music Character of Invisible Man

美国黑人作家拉尔夫·埃里森的小说《看不见的人》是二十世纪一部非常重要的文学作品。作者凭借对黑人音乐的爱好与精通,试验性地将布鲁斯、爵士乐的精髓渗透到作品中。无论是小说的结构、还是其叙事语言都体现出明显的音乐特色。

American writer Ralph Ellison＇ s Invisible Man is one of the most important novels both in black literature and American literature in 20th century. With his mastery of black music, he weaved experimentally the essence of blues and jazz into his novel. Not only the structure, but also the narrative language of the novel display the distinctive features of jazz and blues. This paper will make an attempt to demonstrate this feature through analyzing the text.
