成长是人类的共同话语,我们无法拒绝成长,犹如我们无法拒绝死亡。但是成长的过程又是痛苦的,从最初的天真,烂漫,幻想到其间的迷茫,痛苦,挣扎直到最后的顿悟,安静和服从。这也是成长小说的主题基调,我们不得不去面对。其代表作有亨利·詹姆斯的小说《一位女士的画像》和塞林格的《麦田里的守望者》。 Growth is the common language of mankind, we can not refuse to grow, as if we can not refuse to die. But the process of growth is painful again, from naive, brilliant, fantasies to the confused, painful and struggling until the last epiphany, quiet and obedient. This is also the theme of the development of novels, we have to face. His representative is Henry James’s novel “A Lady’s Portrait” and Salinger’s “Catcher in the Rye.”
