1、JDSalinger的名篇《麦田守望者》(TheCatcherInTheRye)文章的主人公是一个中学生,名字叫霍藤(Holden),在一个名叫Pencey的中学上学。这是一篇自述体小说。作者以一个中学生的视角,写了一个中学生校内外多层面的生活经历、所见所闻,并由此折射出一幅美国社会的众生相。第三章第一句话就与众不同:I’mthemostterrificliar.(我特别会骗人,我是一个几乎没有一句真话的人,我靠撒谎过日子,……。)你不认为这一句话就能让你感到这本书的内容会与众不同吗?往下看,你会发现文章字里行间渗透着自嘲自讽,流露着对社会的冷嘲热讽、鞭挞批判
2、。它的这一风格使你想起王朔、梁左的粗俗、夸张、辛辣、诙谐、吹嘘和调侃。主人公身在学校,但除了英语,其他5、6门课都不及格,但他似乎毫不在乎,他与杰克·伦敦笔下那勤奋好学、挑灯夜战、指望有朝一日能立足于社会的马丁·伊登的生活态度可谓南辕北辙。他不讲究时尚穿着,喜欢把帽舌推到脸袋后面去。他满口脏话,goddam、bastard这些脏话脱口而出,给人一个十足小痞子的印象。读惯了“雅文学”的人们曾对这本书报以鄙视的眼光,但它最终挤入了当代美国文学代表作的行列,进入了中国大学的美国文学名著选篇的课堂。THECATCHERINTHERYEbyJ.D.SalingerTOM
