摘要：纽约的摩天大楼或许比其他任何城市中的建筑都更能吸引电影制作者、画家、摄影家以及作家的注意。本文的论述将聚焦于文学与纽约摩天大楼的契合点这个相对被忽略的话题。亨利·詹姆斯在《美国游记》(1907)中很难理解这些"单一市场下的庞然大物"(James 1968:77)究竟会给作家特别是小说家和短篇小说家带来什么好处,而他的作品却绝对是倾向于低层建筑的。一个世纪后,在《坠落的人》(2007)中,德里罗虽然痴迷于步行或者驱车观赏纽约街景,但他仍然以恐怖分子袭击世贸大厦事件为题材将摩天大楼更加突出地呈现了出来。在《美国游记》和《坠落的人》中,两个作家以不同的方式来应对挑战,这种挑战来自于纽约城中日新月异、错综复杂的高层视觉特性已然将目标指向了小说的形式层面,特别是视角和叙事。小说的形式问题在同视觉艺术的发展相比照时显得更加突出,而纽约现代主义与现代化的显著一致则推动了视觉艺术的发展。
