《我与曼蒂博小姐》作为唐纳德.巴塞尔姆发表的第一篇短篇小说,为他其后的短篇小说创作在主题上提供了一种范式。该短篇虽有卡夫卡式的荒诞情节,但作者的创作意图和后现代主义倾向决定了该小说的主题并非表现卡夫卡式的荒诞。作者把荒诞的世界当成一个理所当然的事实和背景,在这一框架内探讨铺天盖地的文化、政治符号是如何以极为“自然化”的面貌为人们所接受和认同的,同时揭示在这些符号的背后力求掌控人们思想、行为和价值观念的权力运作。该小说是巴塞尔姆对六十年代美国社会政治和文化现象的一个反应,体现了他针砭时弊的一贯文风。
The first short story, “My Miss Mandiebo,” as Donald Barthelme, provided a paradigm for his subsequent short story creation. Although Kafka’s absurdity is short, the writer’s intention of creation and postmodernism determine that the theme of the novel is not to express Kafka-style absurdity. The author regards the absurd world as a matter of fact and background, in which it explores how the overwhelming cultural and political symbols are accepted and accepted by the very “naturalized” face, revealing that in these symbols Behind the power of the people who control the ideas, behaviors and values of people. The novel is a reaction of Basham to the social and political and cultural phenomena in the 1960s in the United States and reflects his consistent style of writing.
