评《美国后现代主义小说艺术论》

A Review on "A Study on the Art of American Postmodernist Fiction

后现代主义是当代多国化资本主义的逻辑和活力偏离中心在文化上的一个投影。美国后现代主义小说反映了"二战"以来美国不同历史时期的特点。陈世丹同志的专著《美国后现代主义小说艺术论》,是目前一部比较详尽地阐释美国最有代表性后现代主义小说的力作,该书表现为这样一些特点:文论领先,虚实结合;注重文本,纵横破解;关注主题,重视影响;跨学科的分析,多角度的视野。

Postmodernism is a cast shadow left on the culture caused by the divergence of the logic and the vigor of the contemporary multi-nationalized capitalism. The American postmodernist fiction reflects the characteristics of the different historical periods in the US since World War II. The monograph by Mr. Chen Shi-dan, entitled ' A Study on the Art of American Postmodernist Fiction' , is now an excellent book that expounds the most typical American Postmodernist fiction works. The book is characterized with its leading literary theories and the combination of theories and practice, with an emphasis on text, and a profound analysis and interpretation, with a focus on themes and an importance attached to social influences, with a trans-subjective anlysis and a vision from multiple perspectives.
