索尔·贝娄是战后美国最重要的作家之一。作为犹太作家,他特别关注处于同化时期的犹太人:这些犹太人生活在美国,但他们又有着犹太文化背景,所以,他们感到,他们既不是一个自信的美国人,也不是一个传统意义上的犹太人,他们只能生活在双重文化的边缘体。 Saul Bellow is one of the most important writers in post-war America. As a Jewish writer, he paid special attention to Jews during the assimilation period. These Jews lived in the United States, but they also had a Jewish cultural background. Therefore, they felt that they were neither a confident American nor a Jew in the traditional sense. They can only live on the edge of dual culture.
