弗蘭剋剋默德是劍橋大學教授兼任哥倫比亞、哈佛等美國大學的客座教授。他被譽為本世紀最博學的文學批評傢之一。由於他的學術涉獵麵廣,有人認為“批評傢”的頭銜比“文學批評傢”更適閤於他。
Frank Kermode is one of our most distinguished and beloved critics of English literature. Here, he contributes a new epilogue to his collection of classic lectures on the relationship of fiction to age-old concepts of apocalyptic chaos and crisis. Prompted by the approach of the millennium, he revisits the book which brings his highly concentrated insights to bear on some of the most unyielding philosophical and aesthetic enigmas. Examining the works of writers from Plato to William Burroughs, Kermode shows how they have persistently imposed their "fictions" upon the face of eternity and how these have reflected the apocalyptic spirit. Kermode then discusses literature at a time when new fictive explanations, as used by Spenser and Shakespeare, were being devised to fit a world of uncertain beginning and end. He goes on to deal perceptively with modern literature - with "traditionalists" such as Yeats, Eliot, and Joyce, as well as contemporary "schismatics," the French "new novelists," and such seminal figures as Jean-Paul Sartre and Samuel Beckett. Whether weighing the difference between modern and earlier modes of apocalyptic thought, considering the degeneration of fiction into myth, or commenting on the vogue of the Absurd, Kermode is distinctly lucid, persuasive, witty, and prodigal of ideas.

此書讀完不易,涉及中世紀時間哲學的部分比較吃力,拉丁文與法語太不給力。
评分開始讀它是為瞭解決我當時看《妙警賊探》結局的睏惑,怎樣的結局纔是震撼人心而又有內在邏輯的。沒能茅塞頓開。把開端——發展——結局的小說結構歸結為末世意識,是個絕妙的思路,但未必是閤理的。
评分請製止我馬上從頭再讀一遍的衝動。
评分astonishingly talented and enlightening work on the sense of fiction
