《不是玩笑》是约瑟夫·海勒的黑色幽默自传,记录了作家罹患格林巴利综合症并康复的整个经历。在传记中,海勒延续了一贯的黑色幽默写作风格,用幽默的手法处理死亡、疾病、失眠等问题。加之,朋友沃格尔的另一条时时与海勒相反叙述线索,更让该传记具备了“黑色”和幽默的双重印记。 “No joke” is a black humor autobiography by Joseph Heller that chronicles the writer’s experience of recovering and recovering from Guillain-Barre syndrome. In the biography, Heller continues the consistent style of black humor writing and uses humorous tactics to deal with such issues as death, illness and insomnia. In addition, another of Vogel’s friend’s narrative clues from Heller, from time to time, gives the biography a double imprint of “blackness” and humor.
