摘　　要：《骨》是美国华裔女作家伍慧明1991年发表的处女作,此书不仅获得了福克纳小说奖的提名,还被收录到"手推车奖文选"中,获得了评论家和读者的普遍关注和好评。本文试图将其独特的叙事形式和复义的主题指涉结合起来分析和阐释,重点论述《骨》这部小说通过独特的蛛网式的叙事结构以及主要意象"骨"的前后引衬,艺术性地再现华裔美国人个人,家族和族裔的历史,并表达了在此历史再现中呈现了多重的主题指涉,即在历史的再现中作家对于美国官方正统历史的颠覆和质疑,对于美国种族歧视政策的诘责和批判,同时还藉由三个女儿对于唐人街的个人、家庭和族裔历史表现出的不同态度,反映了第二代华裔美国人在文化身份认同上的不同价值取向。Bone is Chinese American writer Fae Myenne Ng＇s maiden literary work published in 1991, which soon after its publication brought about the nomination for the William Faulkner Prize for novels and the inclusion in Pushcart Anthology. Ever since that, this novel has attracted the attention of critics and readers and been widely acclaimed in literary criticism. In a combinative analysis of its unique narrative structure and multi-faceted thematic concerns, this paper emphatically reveals that via its cobweb-like narration and dominant ＂bone＂ image, the novel expresses its multi-faceted thematic concerns in representing the Chinese American＇s individual, family and ethnic histories： subverting and interrogating American orthodox history, questioning and critiquing the racial discrimination policies and reflecting the second-generation Chinese American＇s value orientations in their cultural identification.
