对应的“辩护文本”——菲利普·罗斯“自传”小说研究

On Philip Roth's "Autobiography" Books

菲利普·罗斯于1988年至1993年间先后发表了《事实》、《欺骗》、《遗产》和《夏洛克战役》四部非虚构"自传"体小说。本文通过分析这四部作品中对自我书写的解析和放大、与自我的辩论、嬉戏和对峙,探讨后现代主义语境下真实与虚构在罗斯独特自传文体中运用的真实目的,认为这种写作是罗斯回应对其早期作品指责的独特方式,体现出罗斯对作家如何进行真实写作的思考,以此创作出一种独特的对应的"辩护文本"。

Philip Roth ventured into non-fictional writing from 1988 to 1993 when he published four books of which each contains non-fictional accounts of the author's life.While Roth's postmodernist aesthetics was usually the first concern for many academic critics in their analysis of Roth's most radical experiments in narrative form in the non-fiction writing,this essay argues that Roth's non-fictional writings serve as the counter 'defensive texts' to the accusations of disregarding Jewish tradition and the responsibility of Jewish writer on him.Through a close reading of The Facts,Deception,Patrimony,and Operation Shylock,the essay finds that Roth's introduction of his undisguised self into his books reveals his inner world about writing truly through his fictional veils and leads to a heightened concern with the ways in which writing inevitably affects others.
