短篇小说《初秋》是休斯为数不多的非黑人题材作品之一,故事简短却感人至深。作者运用高超的自然主义写作技巧精心设计一系列文本空隙,给读者留下了充分的想象空间。同时还将黑人文化中的布鲁斯音乐元素糅入其中,从而形成一篇结构精巧、语言精炼、感情细腻的优秀短篇小说。 Short story “Early Autumn” is Hughes one of the few non-black theme works, the story is brief but touching. The author uses superb naturalistic writing techniques to elaborate a series of textual gaps that give the reader ample room for imagination. At the same time, the Bruce music element in black culture is blended into it to form an excellent short story with delicate structure, refined language and delicate feelings.
