“我作为男人的一生”--菲利普·罗斯小说中性爱书写的嬗变

"My Life as a Man"—On the Evolution of Philip Roth's Writing about Sexuality

菲利普·罗斯小说创作中最引人注目的莫过于他对性爱的描写,早年他还因此一度被认为是一个声名狼藉的情色作家。但或许时间是文学作品生命力最好的测试,罗斯不断地以一个男人的视角来书写他不同年龄阶段的性欲感受,从最初刻意地以"性越轨"来反抗犹太传统对新一代青年的束缚到老年时千帆过尽、无可奈何的矛盾心情,借以探讨性爱的嬗变对人生的意义和影响,颇具启迪。

Philip Roth is concerned about sexuality in most of his works,for which he was formerly supposed to be an erotica writer. Roth＇s sexuality writing as well as subject and form follows a constant evolution process to express different life experiences and notions of culture. He starts from a perspective of revolting against Jewish ethics,moves toward to discuss marriage and sexual influence on the individual,and finally explores the significance of changes in sexuality to life. In this process,Roth judges sexuality from male perspective.
