摘要
E.L.多克托罗的《纽约兄弟》对纽约的都市生存空间进行想象与建构:街区的剧变折射出瞬息万变的都市面貌,反映了都市生活的疏离隔膜之感;兄弟俩家宅的变化与其命运息息相关,是现代文明对家庭的入侵与破坏的具体象征,但也是传统生活对现代生存空间的一种审视;中央公园为人们提供了休憩、沉思和冥想的空间,象征着现代人精神荒漠中的绿洲。E.L.多克托罗在对科利尔兄弟故事的改写中聚焦于人们在现代化都市空间中的生存状态,作品展现了其对现代化进程中都市生活的体察和反思。
E. L. Doctorow＇s Homer ＆ Langley makes an imagination and construction of urban living space ： the great changes of block reflect the capricious urban landscape, showing a sense of estrangement in urban life ;the fading of Collyer Brothers＇ luxury home,in a close relation with the protagonists＇ destiny, not only is a specific symbol of modern civilization＇s impact on families, but also shows an interrogation of tradi- tional life about the modern urban living space;the Central Park provides a tranquil space for urban people＇s meditation, which is regarded as modern people＇s oasis on their spiritual wasteland. In this novel based on the Collyer Brothers＇ story, Doctorow focuses on modern people＇s living situation in urban space, showing his observations and understandings of urban life during the modernization.
