章节摘录

插图：This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about black life in post-CivilWar Ohio is a ghost story, a love story, and a political allegory.Combining historical fact with African folklore and myth, Be-loved juxtaposes scenes of harrowing realism with dream-likesequences of surreal beauty. In 2006 the book was voted thebest American novel of the past twenty-five years by a literarypanel selected by The New York Times Book Review.   Beloved tells the story of an escaped slave, Sethe, whomurders one of her daughters when she learns that her for-mer master has come to take away her children. Best under-stood as a Romance, as described by Nathaniel Hawthorne inhis 1851 preface to The House of the Seven Gables, Beloved ischaracterized by what Hawthorne called the author's "right"to "mingle the Marvelous" with the "probable and ordinarycourse of man's experience:' The "Marvelous" componentin Morrison's novel is the mysterious, ghostly title character,Beloved, a child-like young woman who appears to be the fleshly embodiment of Sethe's deceased daughter. The fig-ure of Beloved becomes a rich symbol not only for Sethe'sguilt but also for the wound that our slaveholding past hasinflicted on the national psyche.
