The specific content is divided into three parts: The first part is "Literature: Aesthetic and Historical Perspectives", which mainly focuses on the "aesthetics" and "history" of literature. The existence of "aesthetics" is undoubtedly an important reason why literature has not been covered by various disciplines such as philosophy, history, economics, and sociology. Strong aesthetic pleasure appeals to sensibility, but aesthetic experience is not only the psychological tide brought by several works of art, but may also be converted into another kind of historical cognition. Of course, the so-called historical cognition includes different perspectives and concepts. Aesthetic intervention is to form an active dialogue with these perspectives and concepts, and this dialogue process is a "game" process. The second part is "Classic and Modern: Narrative and its Virtual Space". Compared with the elegance and restraint and "gentleness" of classical literature, the current public is more willing to enjoy the legend, suspense, twists and turns provided by the narrative genre. Modern "narratology" also goes far beyond the theoretical perspective of structuralism and has richer connotations. With modern science and technology so powerfully involved in contemporary narratives, the Internet is creating various new narrative discourses. Therefore, current literature is facing great challenges. The third part is "Interpretation: Opening and Boundaries". The core issue involved in the modern turn of hermeneutics is "opening \u002F boundaries". Literary criticism is a special branch of interpretation, and because of interpretation, it has gained access to historical depth. This part mainly starts from the perspective of literary criticism and repeatedly debates around the "open \u002F boundary", because how to interpret it will ultimately involve the form of spiritual shaping.

This book comprehensively discusses the creative ideas and methods of American Jewish writer Paul Auster. By analyzing the space in Auster's novels, it points out that the space in Auster's novels breaks through the traditional meaning of geographical location and is a dual combination of place and spatial status. It not only refers to specific locations and architectural images, but also emphasizes the behavioral activities of American Jews, showing the American Jewish attributes. This attribute of space in Auster's writing not only reflects the difference between the creations of the third generation of American Jewish writers and the first two generations of American Jewish writers, but also reveals the significance of "Jewishness" in contemporary American Jewish literature. This book is suitable for reference by literary critics, scholars of Jewish literature, and teachers and students of related majors in universities.
