当代美国作家菲利普·罗斯的《美国牧歌》以美国二十世纪六七十年代的种族、阶级和道德为背景,讲述了犹太人利沃夫一家由盛转衰的命运。通过主人公在社会期许中的自我迷失到历经苦难后寻找真实自我的过程中,解构了美国神话。在身份的转变中体现个体和社会、自我与世界的对立冲突,以及个体饱受社会种种异己力量的无情挤压的艰难处境,也表明人类生活的真正价值在于追寻自我本质。
The American Pastoral of Contemporary American Writer Philip Rose, which is based on the race, class and morality of the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, tells the story of the fate of the Jewish Lviv from decline to prosperity. Through the protagonist’s loss of self in the society’s expectations to the search for true self after suffering, the American myth was deconstructed. In the changing of identities, it reflects the contradictory conflicts between the individual and the society, the self and the world, as well as the difficult situation in which the individual suffers from the relentless squeeze squeezed by various alien forces in society. It also shows that the true value of human life lies in pursuing the essence of self.
