《人性的污秽》是菲利普·罗斯在世纪末推出的一部力作,也是他“美国三部曲”中的最后一部。通过细致展现当代社会中生活的矛盾和困惑,追求与反叛,深刻剖析了人性的本质、社会的偏见,以及附着在人们身上的污点和所带来的心灵的放逐。小说试图用荒谬的“幽灵”事件和悲剧的结尾告诉人们,任何形式的逃离和放逐都将淹没在社会历史的洪流中。 “Contamination of human nature” was a masterpiece Philip Phillips introduced at the end of the century and the last of his “American Trilogy.” By carefully demonstrating the contradictions and perplexities in life in contemporary society, pursuing and rebelling, we have profoundly analyzed the nature of human nature, the social prejudices, the blemishes attached to people and the spiritual exile. The novel attempts to tell people by the end of absurd “ghost” incidents and tragedies that any form of escape and exile will be submerged in the torrent of social history.
