菲利普·罗斯在取得早期成功后遭遇各方面的批评而陷入迷茫期,他在反思中大胆进行文学实验,所推出的《伟大美国小说》在其风格多变的创作生涯里具有分水岭意义。他以棒球队西征的遭遇反映美国社会逐步陷入20世纪60年代动乱的过程,并在创作中逐步完善有关伟大美国小说的标准,强调继承传统又观照现实,凸显了从后现代主义朝新现实主义的转向,形成了自己的艺术特色。 Phillip Rose was confronted with various aspects of criticism after getting early successes, confronted with confusion. In his reflections, he boldly conducted literary experiments. His “great American novel” was of a watershed significance in his varied creative career.
