摘要：20世纪中叶以来;后现代派作家倾向于用小说的形式来书写历史;体现出一种虚构与现实之间的艺术关系。冯内古特的《母亲之夜》是一部"历史书写元小说"的典范之作。本文借助分析小说的叙事结构来探索虚构与历史叙事之间的关系;分析文学与历史之间的理论渊源来揭露作品的历史书写性;认为《母亲之夜》是虚构与历史构建的一个可然、多维和独特的文本世界。对《母亲之夜》中虚构与历史书写关系的探究有助于我们更加深刻地认识作品的艺术性和主题意义。

Since the middle period of the 20th century,postmodernists have been writing history by means of fiction,which expounds the relationship between fiction and reality.Kurt Vonnegut’s Mother Nightis an apotheosis of historiographical metafiction.This paper analyzes the narrative structure of the novel in an effort to bring out the relationship between fiction and history narrative,explores the relationship between literature and history in order to elaborate the historicity of the writing and contends that Mother Nightis a possible,multidimensional and unique text world constructed through fiction and history.The exploration of the relationship between fiction and history writing is conducive to a deeper understanding of the artistry and thematic significance of the novel.
