This paper explores the concept of American dream via interpreting postmodernist writer Donald Barthelme＇s The Glass Mountain. By briefly reviewing the evolution of American dream and drawing parallel between the reflection of American dream in the fairy tale, and in Donald Barthelme＇s The Glass Mountain, this paper argues that American dream becomes a myth when it is decoupled from common good, and reduced to merely material pursuit. It does not represent ＂a better, richer and fuller life＂ any longer. Instead, it is deformed by the harsh social reality and degenerated into material possession and the means to fulfill this dream cannot be justified sometimes. Exploring the reality behind absurdity via interpreting the postmodernist techniques employed by Barthelme, the paper reinforces its argument.展开更多
