《浮世畸零人》讲述了一个被家人抛弃的畸形儿在社会上饱受愚弄和欺骗,最后因对生活彻底绝望而自杀的故事。作者多丽丝·莱辛以畸形儿为叙事主体,通过他在异化的社会中短暂而悲惨的生活经历,折射出了20世纪中后期资本主义社会存在的种种问题:自私冷漠的人性,日渐滑坡的社会伦理道德,脆弱不堪的家庭亲情,以及广大弱势群体的生存问题。 “Ukiyo-e Mizuno” tells the story of a deformed boy abandoned by his family who is fooled and deceived in society, and committed suicide by completely desperation for his life. The author Doris Lessing takes the deformed child as the main body of the narrative, and through his short and miserable life experiences in the alienated society, reflects the problems existing in the capitalist society in the late 20th century: the selfish and indifferent human nature is gradually declining Social ethics and morality, frail family ties, and the survival of the vast majority of vulnerable groups.
