摘要
巴基斯坦裔英国作家莫欣·哈米德的小说《如何在崛起的亚洲富得流油》中采用自助文学的叙述模式,讲述自我奋斗者“你”成长、成功和幻灭的人生经历。他有意将小说包装成致富指南,却又不吝笔墨地对成功指南和致富经验予以否定和批判,以“你”的肮脏致富模式消解自助文学中的励志话语。作家将后现代戏仿作为一种批判性的叙事策略,通过表里相悖的叙述,引导读者反思盲目追求经济高速发展背后的隐患和危机,达到评价以道德沦丧和破坏环境为代价的经济发展模式的创作旨趣。
How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia by Pakistani British author Mohsin Hamid,adopts the narrative mode of self-help literature to tell the life story of the self-made“you”,from growth and success to disillusionment.Intentionally styled as a wealth guide,the novel critiques and undermines the very notion of success manuals and wealth-gaining experiences it presents,using the protagonist's unscrupulous methods to deconstruct the motivational discourse prevalent in self-help literature.Employing postmodern parody as a critical narrative strategy,the author creates a narrative that is simultaneously affirming and contradicting,prompting readers to reflect on the perils and crises hidden behind the blind pursuit of rapid economic growth.The work critiques economic development models that come at the cost of moral decay and environmental destruction.
