贝娄短篇小说叙事策略——以《离别黄屋》、《如烟往事》、《莫斯比的回忆》为例

摘要

Bellow′s three famous stories,Leaving the Yellow House,The Old System and Mosby′s Memoirs,exhibit adequately some of his essential narrative strategies： experienced old-aged protagonist,mind as the narrative carrier,a masterful handling of narrative distance,and narration mixed with argumentation.These strategies,together with a variety of light,witty,natural and life-like narrative discourse,is where the artistic charm of Bellow′s stories lies,and what makes his writing style develop to maturity and contributes to the new trend of American narrative art.%《离别黄屋》、《如烟往事》、《莫斯比的回忆》这三部短篇小说集中展示了贝娄短篇小说的一些重要叙事策略：以阅历丰富的长者为主人公;以心灵为载体;对叙事距离把握恰当;叙事中加入深刻议论。这些叙事策略的成功运用,加上明快轻松、丰富自然的叙事语言,既是贝娄短篇小说的艺术魅力所在,也对促成贝娄风格的逐渐成熟、开创美国叙事艺术的新风尚起了积极的推动作用。
