摘　　要：美国作家斯蒂芬·金在其后启示录作品《一切混乱的终结》中,对于“战争的结束、人类的堕落、弥赛亚的死亡”进行了贯穿始终的思考。从霍华德·弗诺伊作为幸存者所面对的虚无,到波比作为弥赛亚所经历的混乱,小说以灾变为核心构建了一个后启示录困境,并于最终回归到人类轮回于毁灭与救赎的末世思考。与此同时,小说亦暗含了由真爱缔造回忆,以灾变确立法则,从毁灭获得救赎的脱困出路。站在末世尽头回望,读者可以意识到小说的后启示录想象的根本在于以终章启新篇,以虚构的毁灭实现现实的救赎。American writer Stephen King's post-apocalyptic short story,The End of the Whole Mess,unfolds its reflections on"the end of war,the degeneration of mankind,and the death of the Messiah".From the nothingness faced by the survivor Howard Fornoy,to the mess suffered by the Messiah Bobby,the short story constructs a post-apocalyptic dilemma with disaster at its core,presenting an apocalyptic narrative where man is stuck in the cycle of annihilation and redemption.Meanwhile,the story implies a way-out in using true love to create memory and disaster to establish law,and thus obtain redemption from annihilation.Looking back from the end of the apocalypse,the reader realizes that post-apocalyptic imagination of the work has its essence in the spirit to begin anew and to achieve real-world redemption with fictional annihilation.
