斯蒂芬·克莱恩的第二部贫民窟小说《乔治的母亲》是一部反映男性气质危机的优秀作品。主人公乔治始终追寻男性气质,源于在家中被中产阶级文化武士的母亲凝视,在街头主动凝视贫民窟文化载体的街党群体,直至自我凝视。克莱恩通过表现主人公的不懈追求,表达了他对19世纪末期美国中产阶级男性气质危机的思考。

Stephen Klein’s second slum novel “George’s Mother” is an excellent work that reflects the crisis of masculinity. The protagonist George always pursues the masculinity, from staring at his home by the mother of a middle-class cultural warrior and staring aggressively at the street party groups that soothe the slum culture carrier. Kline expressed his thoughts on the crisis of the masculinity of the middle class in the United States in the late nineteenth century through the tireless pursuit of the protagonist.
