《兔子归来》是美国现实主义作家约翰·厄普代克“兔子四部曲”的第二部,以情节复杂矛盾激烈著称。作者每章均以太空对话为引,大篇幅描写了“鹰”号登月活动,并通过月亮、宇宙飞船等意象暗示了主人公的心理变化,预示了小说中人物的命运,清晰的向读者展示了美国20世纪60年代混乱的变迁过程中中产阶级的困惑和改变。 “Rabbit Returns” is the second installment of the American realistic writer John Updike “Rabbit’s Four Novels ”, known for its complex plot contradictions. Each chapter of the author takes the dialogue of the space as the guideline, and narrates the eagle’s landing on the moon for a long time and implies the psychological changes of the hero through the images of the moon and the spacecraft, indicating the fate of the characters in the novel. The reader demonstrates the perplexity and change of the middle class during the chaotic changes in the United States in the 1960s.
