On 11th, October 2007, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that English female writer Doris Lessing get the Literature Prize. Swedish Institute announced that because Lessing devoting herself into this broken civilization, her works is like history poem of female experience.As the successful one of modern narrative , Lessing reconstruction of a unique mode of creation. She has not confined to the old framework of the traditional novel ,but inventive on the narrative form and content of the new line by the fruitful attempt.The Golden Note seems common, we nearly not read gorgeous description. But from the view of post modern, we analyze the characteristics of post modern narrative feature, its good for us to understand the novel.一,From the narrative form, soaring narrative form and the changeable narrative mode is the special way from other works.1. The purpose of the form of research is to find the text of the significance of the form. The Golden Note is not planning to tell a complete story, the form is the concentric circles . The name of the story is"free women",it is divided into five parts.Followed by insertion between each black, red, yellow and blue four notes. The four notes symbolize the soul of Anna unrest: the black is on behalf of writers Anna Living, Notes is outlined in red Anna's political experience, the yellow notebook to make a writer's love at the reader in front of the world, blue notes are a reflection of the spiritual life of Anna.2. Narrative textLessing used the diary, book reviews, short stories, film scripts, news headlines and information such as newspaper clippings interspersed throughout the book in between. To explore a different style a different problem, The Golden Note break through the limitations of a single question. Such experiments are often associated with formal unity of narrative perspective, a different style conversion help relax finish the novel conversion of Narrative Point of View.二,At post-modern writers on narrative point of view taken by the composite angle conversion mode, the effect of the narrative have a vital role, is more conducive to the text to explain the meaning of text. 1.The eyes of God : Zero Focus.Focus on the characteristics of zero is the omniscient narrator. The part of free women adopts the zero focus. In describing the course of the story, Anna like all-knowing God, Will be the story of Molly the other main character, Tom, Charlie's words and deeds "panoramic view" Respected the traditional novel form of the novel focusing on the real world was very self-confident. They are based on real-world chaos, and then to build a similarity with the reality they are completely different world of the novel.2. Within the FocusIn the "Golden Notebook", with the main character Anna, Anna's eyes go through the world feel. Anna as a narrator and other characters known as many other people do not understand the interpretation have not yet found. With the use of focus to allow readers to more easily close to people, know people, while enhancing the authenticity of the notes. Anna experienced by readers as if all the experience, in reading at the same time enjoy the Fantastic vision and real-life experience. Outside the focusIn the "Golden Notebook," the use is outside the focus should not be neglected part. It's as a surveillance device, put in perspective what is happening to non-subjective filmed from the outside. Narrator, "stand aside with arms folded," has always attract the reader's attention. Lessing used the method outside the focus, Anna can be arranged along the principles of law Chance array, in Anna and the reader barrier between the fans to work together to create a no one can understand the effect of Anna.三,Pay attention to narrative skills is different from the former. Narrative fiction in the post-modern point of view, narrative time, narrative structure has been significantly on the new breakthroughs, Modern Literature in the latter meta-fiction, montage, skills, etc., play a more post-modern novel is the diversity of style reflected in full.1. Built-novel use of the montageMontage techniques of narrative fiction in the built-in "Golden Notebook" are most widely used. A series of movies in different places, make from different angles and distance, shooting in different ways together with the lens, the circumstances described, portrayed mission.In Golden Notebook" Anna is the heroine of such a "schizophrenic" and appeared in her mind the time, there is no logic to speak of the scene. Lessing precisely approach to the use of montage built at the Golden Notebook, the portrait of Anna's dream of hero, in order to demonstrate her living memory of the past half-crazy state.1. The novel about novel——Meta fictionYellow notebook works can be considered the most characteristic part of Meta fiction. Anna narrator intends to expose the traces of their own fiction, to deconstruct their own stories. The idea of work comes from the real case, however, the main narrative shows that he is deliberately fabricated and forged, to reveal their own fictional eyes of the outside world, while leading the reader to steal the world have access to the connotation of fictitious. Lessing have done " no longer a realistic fiction, or realistic representation, or facsimile of reality, or even realistic re-creation, it can only be a reality - the reality of a self-contained."2.Narrative of the commonly used methods - the way of realism is collapsed in the novel. Lessing works of James Joyce's parody reflects the post-modern narrative of the salient features. Lessing strive to be achieved through the imitation of traditional, historical and realistic significance of the value of literary critical paradigm, the purpose of satire and negative. Citation had mentioned ? Doris Lessing is a writer a sense of social responsibility, her writing is full of political overtones, her work was once considered a barometer of social development. In the "Golden Notebook," Lessing's practices will be applied to parody irony of history and reality.In a word, this work is the form of discourse and narrative point of view reflects the distinctive features of post-modernism. Lessing is the subject in the show, deepening the subject done by trying to make "Golden Notebook" beyond the limits of realism, make the novel have the characteristics of post-modernism, so that the novel is full of boundless vitality.
