本文试图从主题、结构、叙事策略、元小说等方面解读《迷失在游乐场》。作者指出:巴斯不愿做传统阴影之中的舞者,他超越了传统小说中的时间顺序、因果关联等创作理念,着意于主题的统一而不在于情节的连贯。巴斯的小说表明:小说已不再是对现实的模仿,而本身即是一种自足的现实。巴斯的创新实践无疑给当时踯躅于十字路口的美国小说注入了极大的活力。 This article attempts to interpret “Lost in Playground” from the aspects of theme, structure, narrative strategy and metafiction. The author points out that Bath does not want to be a dancer in the traditional shadow. He goes beyond the creative ideas of time sequence and causal association in the traditional novels and focuses on the unity of the theme instead of the coherence of the plot. Bath’s novels show that novels are no longer imitations of reality but themselves are self-sufficient reality. The innovative practice of Bath undoubtedly infused the vitality of the American novel that was then at the crossroads.
