摘要
巴塞尔姆的短篇小说《玻璃山》形式奇特,用从1到100这样的数字编号顺序排列的词组、句子和段落构成。它是对一篇斯堪的纳维亚故事《玻璃山上的公主》的戏仿。在小说中采用了反体裁的手段来证明陈旧的叙述形式与内容不可信和无效性。在后现代世界中,思想家、文论家们的思想活动基本都是在语言层面上。在他们看来,写作(特别是虚构文本的写作)仅仅是一种"语言游戏"。《玻璃山》充分体现了这一特征。
The writing style of Donald Barthelme＇ s short story The Glass Mountain is especially peculiar. He uses figures from 1 to 100 to number the phrases, sentences and paragraphs to compose the whole story. Actually the story is a parody of a Scandinavian fairytale called The Princess on the Glass Mountain. In the story, by means of anti-novel method the author wants to show the incredibility and inefficiency of old ways of narration. In the postmodernist world many thinkers and theorists frequently base their activities on language itself. Writing is merely a wordplay from their point of view. The special writing style features The Glass Mountain.
