至今已有41年历史的英国布克奖,一项堪与美国普利策奖相媲美的文学奖,一直是英语文学创作者努力耕作的指向标。该奖每年颁发一次,能荣获该奖的作者只限于英国籍、爱尔兰籍以及英联邦国家。已经获此殊荣的小说家有大家耳熟能详的萨尔曼·拉什迪(Salman Rusgdie)、石黑一雄(Kazuo Ishiguro)、迈克尔·翁杰达(Michael Ondaatje)、格雷厄姆·斯威夫特(Graham Swift)等。1993年英国布克文学奖颁给了爱尔兰作家罗迪·道尔(Roddy Doyle),他的力作《帕迪·克拉克,哈哈哈》语言诙谐、充满童趣,让人不禁回忆童年,而与此同时,小说中涉及到的婚姻、宗教等题材又加深了文本的立意和社会宽度,非常值得探讨商榷。
To date, the 41-year-old British Booker Prize, a literary prize comparable to the Pulitzer Prize in the United States, has been the hallmark of English-language writers’ hard work. The award is presented annually and the authors who win the award are only British, Irish and Commonwealth countries. Among the novelists who have won this award are Salman Rusgdie, Kazuo Ishiguro, Michael Ondaatje, Graham Swift) and so on. In 1993, the British Booker Prize for Literature was awarded to Irish writer Roddy Doyle. His masterpiece “Paddy Clarke, Ha ha ha” is witty and full of childlike play, which can not help but recall childhood. At the same time, the subjects of marriage and religion involved in the novels further deepen the intention of the text and the width of the society, which is worth discussing.
