日裔美国作家山下凯伦的首部作品《穿越雨林之弧》是一部典型的魔幻现实主义小说,但它的荒诞怪异在令人发笑的同时也引人深思。其中人与环境,人与人之间的矛盾最为尖锐,而这背后深藏着人类的殖民主义意识形态。作品的背景环境以及主要人物的身份,都混杂着历史和政治因素,体现出后殖民时代经济文化的扭曲和畸形。 The first work by Japanese-American writer Yamashita Karen, “Arc of the Rainforest,” is a typical magical realist novel, but its absurd weirdness is intriguing as well as intriguing. Among them, the contradiction between man and the environment and between people is the most acute, and behind this lies the colonial ideology of mankind. The background of the work and the identities of the main characters are all mixed with historical and political factors, which reflect the distortion and deformity of the economy and culture in the post-colonial era.
