第三节 梅勒小说与20世纪美国

一 梅勒的道德意识与其小说创作

梅勒的道德意识与其小说创作之间的关系非常密切。莱昂·布劳迪认为:“梅勒小说[创作]的主要任务是探讨人的性格的缺陷与美。在梅勒眼中,个人性格所受的公众的和私人的压力同时存在。”[418]布劳迪指出,梅勒认为“小说应该具有改变读者生活的潜力”,而“这种对艺术力量的信仰一直是梅勒从事创作的推动力”[419]。劳拉·亚当斯认为,梅勒在《为我自己做广告》中表明的写作目的——“在我们时代的意识中发起一场革命”——“表明了他的信仰,即作家特别是小说家拥有足够的迫使他所处社会改变方向的力量”[420]。罗伯特·所罗塔洛夫认为:“梅勒[创作]的根本目的,是探究美国人的心理中心,并报道他的发现。”[421]戴安娜·特里林在其论文《诺曼·梅勒的激进道德主义》中说过这样一段话:

那么多道德肯定伴随着那么多道德无政府主义;那么多天真,却又那么多狡诈;那么多防御性的小心谨慎,却又那么多轻率的粗心大意;那么多绝望跟随着那么迫切的拯救要求;不仅有那么强烈的领袖人物感人的超凡魅力的刺激,也有那么多引起愤怒甚至让人反感的东西;那么多智力活动,但不健全思维却又那么频繁;有如此伟大的男子汉的英雄主义冲动,但自我约束力却又如此不足;如此敏感,但情感却又如此之少;想象如此丰富,但艺术却又如此不足。这样的矛盾无疑增加了梅勒的吸引力,但也导致了他的局限性……在他的矛盾总和中,他与当今美国有着惊人的相似。[422]

戴安娜·特里林指出:“梅勒深切关注这样一种思想:在杀戮政治反动之前,现代平民有可能被迫放弃他的尊严、自由与人性,如果脱离这一点,就不能准确理解梅勒的作品。”[423]她还指出:“梅勒把自己看作一个对抗恶意的反动权威的英雄,这种自我观赋予他虚构想象的力量。”[424]她探讨了梅勒小说中的道德主题嬗变,认为《裸者与死者》结尾处,小说的道德中心发生了转移,如她所说:“小说接近尾声时,克罗夫特(Croft)不再是一个恶棍,他在作者的同情中占据了我们认为霍恩(Hearn)应该占据的位置。这种道德中心的有趣转移增加了小说的虚构兴趣。”[425]她指出,从第二部作品开始,梅勒的道德关注发生了变化。她认为:“第二部作品的出版标志着梅勒创作生涯的一个转折点”,因为“从此开始,梅勒不再从政治中寻求拯救,而是转向了别处——嬉皮主义……嬉皮主义是一种美国式的存在主义,旨在回归人的宇宙中心地位,使个人与自我及其需要进行直接交流。这种信仰能让梅勒超越政治经济决定论而在更深层次上探讨现代社会”[426]。她也探讨了《鹿苑》中梅勒的性书写与其道德意识之间的关系,指出“梅勒区分了影视明星团的性与嬉皮主义的性之间的不同:前者看似自由实则是一种奴役,后者则表达了一种新的激进的自我原则,二者的区别不在行为,而在意识”[427]。劳拉·亚当斯也注意到梅勒第四部长篇小说《一场美国梦》中的道德关注,认为“梅勒把《一场美国梦》看成是一本‘让一个国家看清自己’的书”[428]

事实上,梅勒的道德意识不仅仅体现在特里林和亚当斯所提及的这几部小说中,他的道德意识贯穿于他小说创作的始末,使得他的小说创作从未放过美国社会、政治和文化生活中与人类道德紧密相关的任何现象和事件,因为他要努力让他的所有小说都成为让美国“看清自己”的书。

二 梅勒小说与20世纪美国

梅勒的道德意识使其小说创作紧跟美国的社会、政治、历史和文化变迁。历时地看,梅勒小说与20世纪美国紧密相关:《裸者与死者》与“二战”美国相关;《巴巴里海滨》和《鹿苑》与20世纪50年代的美国相关;《一场美国梦》和《我们为什么在越南?》与20世纪60年代的美国相关;《刽子手之歌》与20世纪70年代的美国相关;《硬汉子不跳舞》与20世纪80年代的美国相关;《哈洛特的幽魂》与“冷战”美国相关;《儿子的福音》与基督教美国相关;《林中城堡》以隐喻方式再现了20世纪的美国。事实上,通过在《裸者与死者》《巴巴里海滨》《鹿苑》《一场美国梦》《我们为什么在越南?》《刽子手之歌》《硬汉子不跳舞》《哈洛特的幽魂》《儿子的福音》和《林中城堡》等小说中再现(或隐喻性再现)20世纪美国的社会、政治、历史和文化现象和重大事件,梅勒小说对美国形象进行了解构与建构;通过解构并建构美国形象,梅勒表明了他小说创作的道德价值取向。

梅勒小说创作以“强化人们的道德意识”为目的,从《裸者与死者》到《林中城堡》,每部小说都从不同角度对美国形象进行了解构与建构,解构并建构美国形象是梅勒小说创作和发展的原动力。梅勒小说关注当代美国重大社会、政治和文化现象与事件,每部小说通过再现自己时代美国社会、政治和文化生活中言与行之间的矛盾,解构了假面美国形象(宣称“自由、平等、博爱”),建构了真面美国形象(奉行“霸权、歧视、不平等”)。梅勒小说对美国形象的解构与建构体现了梅勒的道德意识和政治意识,体现了他对美国社会、政治和文化的深刻反思、对美国本质的清晰认识、对当代美国的批判和一定程度的不认同,体现了他扬善避恶、追求自由与平等、反对霸权和歧视的道德价值取向。梅勒小说对美国形象的解构与建构体现了梅勒小说创作的政治性和世界性:梅勒不仅关注美国社会问题,而且关注世界和平与人类自由;他通过小说创作不断对美国形象进行解构与建构,旨在让美国乃至世界看清美国的帝国主义和种族主义本质,从而批判并反抗美国破坏人类自由、平等与和平的各种霸权思想和歧视行为。

三 本书研究的目的、对象与方法

本书研究拟结合梅勒小说创作的历史语境,以梅勒《为我自己做广告》《总统案卷》《食人者与基督徒》《存在主义差事》《诡秘的艺术:写作漫谈》《我们为什么进行战争?》和《论上帝:一次不寻常的谈话》等非虚构作品中有关人性、道德和当代美国社会、文化与政治的论述为依据,运用新历史主义、后殖民主义、女性主义和解构主义等文学批评方法以及文本细读法,从辩证唯物主义与历史唯物主义角度全面深入地分析研究梅勒《裸者与死者》《巴巴里海滨》《鹿苑》《一场美国梦》《我们为什么在越南?》《刽子手之歌》《硬汉子不跳舞》《哈洛特的幽魂》《儿子的福音》和《林中城堡》等小说对美国形象的解构与建构及其道德价值取向。
