- The Fictionalizing Act in 4321: Neo-Realistic Narrative of Private and Collective Histories
Author：Qiong Li
Abstract: Paul Auster fictionalizes two kinds of reality in 4321. One is of the alternative personal lives that may well be real in the parallel worlds, the other is about the real-life American history that spans seventy years of the twentieth century.

The latter highlights the anti-war movement and the rebellion at Columbia University in the 1960s. It exposes the fictionality and dark sides of American ...

- From Self-deception to Self-awareness Awakening: A Spatial Interpretation of Julian Barnes' The Sense of an Ending
Author：Taohua Wang, Daoshu Zhang
Abstract: The Sense of an Ending reflects the existential predicament of individuals in postmodern context. Tony’s identity construction has attracted wide attention from critics.

Within the oppressive “representational space” of “home” and “school,” Tony constructs an idealized “victim” persona through self-deception and unreliable memory. His journey to the United States, a kind of “spatial practice”, prompts ...

While bringing into full play the misty and veiled beauty unique to ancient Chinese poetry, however, the intricate syntax poses a huge challenge to its English ...
