前言

This is the ABC of American postmodemist fiction that may be used as atextbook for graduate students at college level.Almost no selected readings with the variety of American postmodemistfiction appeared in our country before now. Nor can we find a single writeror a work of its kind was included in the anthologies for college students'extensive and intensive readings compiled some years ago. But many teachersand students hope to read and understand them. This book will meet theirrequirements and help them bridge the gap between the period of the 1950sand the new millennium until the present in contemporary American literature.About 49 years have passed since the publication of Heller's Catch-22that marks the beginning of the new stage of postmodernist fiction in thehistory of American literature. The American postmodemist authors have madenumerous innovations and experiments in their works both in content andform. They have brought great changes in artistic device, style and language.Their successful experiments become a great contribution to the developmentof American fiction, which eventually came out of the great crisis in the 1960s.Many of them such as Pynchon, Vonnegut, Nabokov, Gass, Gaddis, DeLillo,Doctorow, Didion, Mailer, Sukenick, Morrison, Reed, Maxine Hong Kingston,Vollmann, and Powers are well-known home and abroad. Their novels havebeen translated into many languages. They have occupied a salient place in thehistory of American literature.Attractive to instructors and graduate students at almost all the Americanuniversities, American postmodernist fiction has become the hot point for classdiscussion since the 1990s. Its novels and short stories are often selected asteaching materials for graduates and undergraduates at different levels, andhave turned out to be students' favorites both in and out of classroom.

章节摘录

插图："I don't think so."Milo nodded with spurious vim to indicate he still understood and thensat silent, ruminating gravely with troubled misgiving. A scarlet-crested birdshot by below, brushing sure dark wings against a quivering bush. Yossarianand Milo were covered in their bower by tissue-thin tiers of sloping greenand largely surrounded by other gray chestnut trees and a silver spruce. Thesun was high overhead in a vast sapphire-blue sky beaded with low, isolated,puffy clouds of dry and immaculate white. There was no breeze, and the leavesabout them hung motionless. The shade was feathery. Everything was at peacebut Milo, who straightened suddenly with a muffled cry and began pointingexcitedly. "Look at that！" he exclaimed in alarm. "Look at that！ That's a funeralgoing on down there. That looks like the cemetery. Isn't it？" Yossarian answered him slowly in a level voice. "They're burying thatkid who got killed in my plane over Avignon the other day. Snowden." "What happened to him？" Milo asked in a voice deadened with awe. "lie got killed." "That's terrible," Milo grieved, and his large brown eyes filled withtears. "That poor kid. It really is terrible." He bit his trembling lip hard, andhis voice rose with emotion when he continued. "And it will get even worse ifthe mess halls don't agree to buy my cotton. Yossarian, what's the matter withthem？ Don't they realize it's their syndicate？ Don't they know they've all got ashare？" "Did the dead man in my tent have a share？" Yossarian demandedcaustically. "Of course he did," Milo assured him lavishly. "Everybody in thesquadron has a share." "He was killed before he even got into the squadron." Milo made a deft grimace of tribulation and turned away. "I wish you'dstop picking on me about that dead man in your tent," he pleaded peevishly. "Itold you I didn't have anything to do with killing him. Is it my fault that I sawthis great opportunity to comer the market on Egyptian cotton and got us intoall this trouble？

后记

春风送暖，万象更新。《美国后现代派小说选读》终于杀青，呈现在读者面前。从1961年海勒的《第二十二条军规》问世以来，美国后现代派小说已发展近49年，涌现出了品钦、德里罗、梅勒、罗思、苏克尼克、莫里森和伏尔曼等著名作家。他们的小说多次荣获美国国家图书奖、普利策奖和美国书评界奖等多项文学大奖，引起了美国和各国读者的关注和赞赏。美国后现代派小说已成为美国文学史上的重要组成部分。美国后现代派小说走进我国，已经有十多年了。早在1996年，译林出版社就率先推出“美国后现代派长篇小说丛书”，至今已翻译出版的作品有：多克托罗的《拉格泰姆时代》、《比利·巴思格特》、德里罗的《天秤星座》、《白色噪音》、库弗的《公众的怒火》、冯内古特的《冠军的早餐》、《五号屠场》、《时震》等；上海译文出版社出版了海勒的《第二十二条军规》、品钦的《拍卖第49批》等；漓江出版社出版了汤亭亭的《孙行者》等。在评论方面，辽宁师范大学出版社出版了陈世丹的《美国后现代主义小说艺术论》（2002），青岛出版社出版了杨仁敬主持的国家社科基金项目最终成果《美国后现代派小说论》（2004）和杨仁敬等人编译的《美国后现代派短篇小说选》（2004），河南大学出版社出版了李德恩主编的《后现代主义文学导读》（2006）。这些译作和专著对帮助我国读者了解美国后现代派小说发挥了积极作用，受到广大读者的欢迎。遗憾的是．美国后现代派小说还没有走进我国大多数高校的课堂。目前开设这方面课程的高校为数很少。在英语专业本科生精读课本或泛读教材中很难见到美国后现代派作家的作品。在研究生的学习材料中更缺少一本实用的教材。因此，编写一本《美国后现代派小说选读》成了一件紧迫而重要的工作。我们试着来完成这个任务。
