具体描述

Published when Wallace was just twenty-four years old, The Broom of the System stunned critics and marked the emergence of an extraordinary new talent. At the center of this outlandishly funny, fiercely intelligent novel is the bewitching heroine, Lenore Stonecipher Beadsman. The year is 1990 and the place is a slightly altered Cleveland, Ohio. Lenore's great-grandmother has disappeared with twenty-five other inmates of the Shaker Heights Nursing Home. Her beau, and boss, Rick Vigorous, is insanely jealous, and her cockatiel, Vlad the Impaler, has suddenly started spouting a mixture of psycho- babble, Auden, and the King James Bible. Ingenious and entertaining, this debut from one of the most innovative writers of his generation brilliantly explores the paradoxes of language, storytelling, and reality.

读后感

虽然华莱士的创作受到了品钦和德里罗的影响，他的小说却拂去了后现代小说家们所着眼的媒介、广告和消费主义的那层厚纱，直指人类本身的心理病症和缺憾，让阴暗的大楼、通讯系统和体制（某种阴谋）退居其后，成为男女主人公心理病症的一个注脚或隐喻。因此，对于我这个本身学习...
