历史与想象：雷祖威、梁志英与伍惠明的小说艺术

History and Imagination:On the Art of Fictions of David Wong Louie,Russell Leong and Fae Myenne Ng

雷祖威、梁志英与伍惠明是继汤亭亭和赵健秀之后步上华裔美国文坛的一代重要作家。从此三人的代表作品短篇故事《生日》、短篇故事《何所不死?》、小说《骨》中一些带有标志性的形式策略和主题特征可见:尽管当代华裔美国文学创作在多元与复调的前提下已经越来越不受时间、空间和地域的限制,但是该文学想像的感人之处和生命力只能来自不断演进和变化的华裔美国社会和华裔美国历史,以及华人在此过程中生活、奋斗和憧憬的物质经历。

David Wong Louie, Russell Leong and Fae Myenne Ng follow in Maxine Hong Kingston and Frank Chin＇s footsteps as one generation of important Chinese writers in the U.S. hterary. We can grasp the landmark strategic forms and topic characteristics from their representative works such as short stories The Birthday, Nowhere to Die and novel Bone. The American Chinese literature has been becoming with no restriction of time, space and place on the condition of pluralism society; however, its vitality only comes from the changing Chinese communities and Chinese history in America and the Chinese experiences in the process of their longterm struggles.
