  • 梦魇——读析《行人》兼谈科幻小说

    侯毅凌;

    <正> 偶然间从一本集子里读到一个题为"The Pedestrian"的短篇,觉得其内涵别具旨趣。这是一篇科幻小说(Science Fiction),作者布雷德伯里(Ray Brad-bury,1920—)是美国的一位写这类小说的行家里手,著有两本有名的科幻小说集《火星人编年史》(The Martian Chronicles,1950)和《太阳的金苹果》(The Golden Apples of the Sun,1953)。在具体分析这篇作品之前,笔者想先就科幻小说略谈一二,意在为本文选析的作品提供一点理解和思考的背景。
