Recepcija dveh Adamičevih romanov o resničnih dogodkih

Kurent, Tine (author)

Po stari teoriji dva avtobiografska romana Louisa Adamiča nista lepa literatura. Toda knjigi Laughing in the Jungle (1932) in The Native's Return (1934) sta bili deležni številnih laskavih ocen in nagrad v ZDA. Carey McWilliams pravi, da je "Adamič obenem propagandist in umetnik", toda "Umetnost in propaganda, sta si v nasprotju". Na novo je ocenila Adamiča v svoji disertaciji (1997) Tatjana Dumas Rodica: "Adamič se je imel za žurnalista in literata, tako kot Norman Mailer ob knjigi The Executioner's Song, 1979, ki je dobila Pulitzerjevo nagrado."

Abstract

According to the old theory, two autobiographical novels by Louis Adamic do not fall in the category of belles lettres. But the books Laughing in the Jungle (1932) and The Native's Return (1934) received numerous flattering reviews and awards in the U.S. Carey McWilliams says that "Adamic /was/ a propagandist and also an artist," but "/a/rt and propaganda, are nowadays opposed". Adamic's work was reassessed in 1997 with Tatjana Dumas Rodica's dissertation: "Adamic s'est considéré comme un journaliste littéraire, semblable en cela à Norman Mailer, après qu'il eut publié en 1979 The Executioner's Song. Le roman obtint le prix Pulitzer."
