自《裸者与死者》出版以来,大多数评论家认为它是一部极具悲观主义色彩的反战小说,但梅勒却一直强调这是一部给人以希望的小说。通过文本细读,笔者发现梅勒真实目的是想通过深入探究战争的根源,折射当时美国社会的问题并探寻出路,由此构建特定历史语境下梅勒式的暴力哲学——用暴力方式打通一条回归伊甸园之路,这也正是小说给人的希望所在。 Since the birth of The Naked and the Dead, most critics have considered it a pessimistic anti-war novels, but Mailer has always emphasized that this is a hopeless novel. Through the careful reading of the text, I find that the real purpose of Mailer is to establish the Mailer-style philosophy of violence in a specific historical context by penetrating into the root causes of war, reflecting the problems of American society and finding a way out, A return to the road to Eden, which is where the hope of the novel is.
