本刊2007年6期介绍了于当年4月11日辞世的美国反传统文化经典作家库尔特·冯内古特。7个月后,几乎同日、同是84岁,纽约文坛又一位二战老兵离世。与冯内古特相同,诺曼·梅勒亦亲历时代动荡;与冯内古特效法马克·吐温用幽默处理人类生存的基本问题不同,梅勒崇拜海明威,坦率直言、且身体力行地对抗美国的集权文化。尽管他毕生将写作视为一项英雄般的事业,在60余年的写作生涯中,刻意追求成为美国文坛第一人的理想,也曾25岁一夜成名,两度获得普利策文学奖,并被授予美国国家图书奖终身成就奖,但无论其乖张的反传统文化的行为方式还是其文学作品,均饱受争议。
This issue 2007 6 6 introduces the American anti-traditional culture classic writer Kurt Vonnegut who died on April 11 that year. Seven months later, almost the same day, the same 84-year-old New York literary world again a World War II veteran died. Like Vonnegut, Norman Mailer also witnessed the upheavals of the times. Unlike Vonnegut’s use of Mark Twain’s fundamental problem of humorous handling of human existence, Mailer adored Hemingway, frankly and personally, against the United States Centralized culture. Despite his lifelong writing as a heroic career, he aspired to become the # 1 American literary ideal for more than 60 years of writing career, became famous overnight 25, won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature twice, Was awarded the American Book Award Lifetime Achievement Award, but regardless of its perverse anti-traditional culture or its literary works are controversial.
