Memory Discourse in Philip Roths Novels
Philip Roths works cover a variety of themes,including Jewish identity,the Holocaust,Alter-ego,Neo-historicism,Neo-realism,and autobiographical writing,etc.,and critics have dealt with these themes from their own stances and perspectives.However,there is an implicit aspect in Roths fiction that is rarely tackled,namely,the memory narrative.For Roth,memory narrative is the means by which he can reconsider and reconstruct the past on the basis of what is happening around the world,so as to integrate the past into the present to reevaluate the significance of the obsession with the past memory and the possible consequences it might provoke.Questioning certain memory discourse manifests Roths sharp conception of his age and his sense of responsibility,which poses as an important dimension of his literary creation.
