“后现代主义”是60年代在美国出现的一种文学潮流。对于这种文学潮流,我国虽然已有所介绍,但一般读者对其内涵、特点与主张恐仍不甚了然。为此,我刊特约董鼎山与钱青两位专家撰文,从不同的角度对这一潮流加以阐释。我们同时还发表两篇公认是“后现代主义”代表作的短篇小说,以使读者得出自己的感性印象。·编者· Postmodernism is a literary trend that emerged in the United States in the 1960s. For this literary trend, although our country has already been introduced, but the general reader of its connotation, features and ideas are still not quite understand. To this end, I published an article entitled Dong Ding Shan and Qian Qing two experts, from different angles to explain this trend. We also publish two short stories, which are generally acknowledged as “postmodernism,” so that readers can come to their own emotional impression. ·editor·
