If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem is a novel by the American author William Faulkner published in 1939. The novel was originally published under the title The Wild Palms, which is the title of one of the two interwoven stories. This title was chosen by the publishers, Random House, over the objections of Faulkner's choice of a title. Subsequent editions have since been printed under the title If I Forget Thee Jerusalem (1990, following the "corrected text" and format of Noel Polk), and since 2003 it is now usually referred to by both names, with the newer title following the historically first published title and in brackets, to avoid confusion: The Wild Palms [If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem].

Wild Palms/Old Man is a blend of two stories, a love story and a river story, entitled "Wild Palms" and "Old Man", respectively. Both stories tell us of a distinct relationship between a man and a woman. The novel starts with the first chapter, "Wild Palms", and continues, alternating the two stories chapter by chapter, until ending with the final chapter, "Old Man".

In an interesting example of literary tribute, Jorge Luis Borges translated the complete novel into Spanish as Las palmeras salvajes (1940), a work that influenced a good number of leading Latin American novelists.

读后感

1949年)诺贝尔文学奖得主威廉·福克纳的这部长篇小说被誉为是他笔下“最令人心痛又最具魅力”的长篇小说之一，书名原本叫做《我若忘记你，耶路撒冷》，由《野棕榈》和《老人河》两篇各自独立的故事组成。 据福克纳本人介绍，这本书采用了一种叫做“对位法”的音乐创作手法。...  

单看完了《野棕榈》这个故事，一个简单的故事，也没多少曲折的骇人的情节可言，啰啰嗦嗦却是半个长篇。之所以能写这么多是因为福克纳对人物的生活以及周遭有着不厌其烦的描述，这些对生活的描述有时候我会觉得枯燥，感觉生硬，有时候会读出些诗意，就看我能否静不下心来读，当...  

福克纳一直都是个很有责任感的作家。他关注美国南方，关注种族矛盾，对女性处境的思考远超时代，日本人轰炸珍珠港之后，他还写了一篇伤感的短篇小说，讲一个男孩到孟斐斯去找参军的哥哥。 如果要选一个作家来决定人类的命运，我想不出比他更合适的人选。 但他写《野棕榈》这样...  

比起故事主题的宏大和巧妙，故事语言的瑰丽和奇诡，我更喜欢关注故事的特殊讲法。或以特殊的视角出发，讲述一段离奇的经历，或以讲述者思绪为源头，不断的旁生枝节，或巧妙的设置多条并行的线索，然后不断融合。 初读小说，便看了一部《穆斯林的葬礼》。韩子奇与韩新月两个故事...

可能文化差异 很多对白感觉不得要领 但仍觉是非常好的作品

"They say love dies between two people. That's wrong. It doesn't die. It just leaves you, goes away, if you are not good enough, worthy enough. It doesn't die; you're the one that dies." "Between grief and nothing I will take grief."
