摘　　要：20世纪70年代,苏联放开境内犹太复国主义者重返以色列的移民限制,大批世俗化的犹太民众也借此机会离开,形成一种盲目的“移民风尚”。加里·施泰恩加特小说《俄罗斯名媛初涉手册》描写了该时期移民美国的犹太青年弗拉基米尔·格施金在成长过程中遇到的身份困境与精神危机以及他重返东欧的一段传奇经历。本文通过解读《手册》逆写犹太人的流散轨迹,揭示因“时尚”而移民的俄裔犹太人对祖籍国复杂的情感投射、对移民盲目性的反思以及为回归家园所做的努力与尝试。In the 1970 s, when the Soviet Union relaxed emigration restrictions on Zionists’ return to Israel, a large number of secularized Russian Jews also took the opportunity to leave, forming a blind "immigrant chic" in their host country. Gary Shteyngart’s novel, The Russian Debutante’s Handbook, depicts the dilemma of identity and spirituality experienced by the protagonist Vladimir Girshkin, a Jewish youth who immigrated to the United States during this period, and his legendary experience of returning to Eastern Europe. By focusing on the reverse trajectory of the Jewish diaspora in fiction,this essay reveals Russian Jews’ complex emotional projections surrounding their home country, their emigration due to the "chic", its blindness, as well as their efforts and attempts to return to their homeland.
