摘要
保罗·奥斯特的小说《日落公园》以2008年全球金融危机作为叙述背景,通过对迈尔斯及其周边人物生活故事的讲述,以微小叙事呈现宏大主题,巧妙地处理了历史真实、虚构叙事和创伤记忆之间的关系。无论是金融危机,还是恐怖袭击以及各类战争,这样的集体创伤记忆不仅揭露了这些特殊的历史环境对人类正常生活的负面影响,而且体现了作家对美国政治和社会问题的高度关注,对人类生存处境的伦理关怀;同时表达了作者否认一切战争的正义性,引起人们对现代文明的质疑与反思,对历史、现状与未来的人文思考。
Paul Auster,a contemporary American writer,has set the global financial crisis in 2008 as its narrative setting in his novel Sunset Park.Through his narration of the life stories of the hero Miles and other minor characters around him,Auster reflects his grand theme via trivial narrative and handles well the relationship among historic truth,imaginary narratives and traumatic memories.Either the financial crisis,or the terrorist attack and various wars,all these collective traumatic memories have not only disclosed the negative effects of these special historical contexts that have exerted upon the social life of ordinary people,but also embodied Auster’s close regard to American political and social problems as well as his ethical concern of human beings’living condition.At the same time,the book has also revealed the author’s denial of the legality of all the wars,arousing people’s query and reflection upon modern civilization and humanistic thinking upon the past,the presentas well as the future.
