美国当代小说家科马克·麦卡锡素以描写血淋淋的事件著称,其小说中的暴力情节无处不在,许多残酷的血腥场景让人无法转述。因此,关于他作品的道德价值取向问题就成了美国评论界争论的焦点。但若从宗教的视角审视麦卡锡的创作,将有助于发掘出其小说的内在结构和深层意蕴,展现麦卡锡的创作图景,为整体观照和重新解读麦卡锡的作品打开一扇窗。 American contemporary novelist Comac McCarthy is famous for describing bloody events. The violence in his novels is ubiquitous and many cruel and bloody scenes make it impossible to describe the violence. Therefore, the issue of the moral value orientation of his work has become the focus of controversy in the American critics. However, if we look at the works of McCarthy from the perspective of religion, it will help to find out the inner structure and deep meaning of his novels, reveal the creative landscape of McCarthy, and open a window for the overall observation and re-interpretation of McCarthy’s works.
