对于生长在异乡的外籍作家来说,民族身份似乎是一个永远也讨论不完的话题,《拉维尔斯坦》却为美国犹太籍作家索尔·贝娄60多年创作生涯的寻根之旅画上了个圆满的句号。小说独具匠心地以回忆录的形式展开,巧妙地将现实与回忆、叙述与评论结合在一起,为读者呈现了一个个性鲜活的拉维尔斯坦形象。在机智风趣的语言背后是贝娄对当代美国社会现实的关注。在人类社会进入文明的新时期,贝娄也反思了反犹主义的历史给犹太民族带来的难以抹去的影响。在谴责反犹主义的同时贝娄也告诫犹太同胞们不要忘记历史,警惕反犹主义抬头,呼吁人道主义同情。小说中,渊博的哲学观点、巧妙的拼贴艺术、精巧的象征手法以及尖刻的反讽特色,不仅丰富了作品的新现实主义视阈,而且拓宽了贝娄的创作主题,引发读者回味和思考。
For foreign writers who grew up in a foreign land, ethnic identity seemed to be a topic that would never be discussed. Lavierstein drew a 60-year career in the pursuit of American Jewish writer Saul Bellow A successful conclusion. Novel originality in the form of memoirs, cleverly combines reality with memories, narratives and commentary, presenting readers with a vivid image of Ravierstein. Behind the witty language is Bellow’s concern for the contemporary American social reality. In the new era in which human society entered civilization, Bellow also reflected on the hard-to-be eradicated effects of the anti-Semitism history on the Jewish people. While condemning anti-Semitism, Bellow also warned Jewish compatriots not to forget history, to guard against the rise of anti-Semitism and to call for humanitarian sympathy. In his novels, profound philosophical views, ingenious collage art, elaborate symbolism and sharp irony not only enrich the visual field of his neo-realism, but also broaden Bellow’s creative theme and arouse readers’ aftertaste and thinking.
