Bernard Malamudの小説における父と息子 : 初期短編からThe Assistantへ

概要

論文の詳細を見る
?In many of Bernard Malamud's novels, the fathers have no son, while the sons have no father. In a sense, this absence of father for boys and that of son for fathers seem to reflect the breakdown of traditional father-son relationship in Jewish-American society at the time. In The Assistant, however, an Italian assistant, Frank, seems to follow in the footsteps of a Jewish grocer, Morris, actually and spiritually. Malamud once mentioned three short stories as the source of The Assistant : "The Cost of Living, " "The First Seven Years" and "The Place Is Different Now." These stories and similar stories included in PUS are analyzed to make clear how the father-son relationships in the short stories are developed into Morris and Frank in The Assistant and what the relationship signifies in the early fiction.
