林.拉德纳通过塑造一群受过一定教育却又自以为是的中产阶级男女,成功地向读者展示了当年一个真实的美国及普通民众的丰繁复杂的内心世界。他所刻画的人物身上大都存在着某种自恋情愫,洋洋自得却始终不知悔改,让人不禁为其生存状态感到可叹、可怜。 Lindner successfully demonstrated to readers the rich and complex inner world of a real American and ordinary citizen by shaping a group of educated but self-righteous middle-class men and women. Most of the characters portrayed by him have some sort of narcissism, but they have always felt sorry for repentance. They can not but feel sarcastic and pitiful about their living conditions.
