追問與反思消費主義文化是馬丁·艾米斯創作的重要議題,他密切關注社會進步與人類命運之間的互動關系。其代表作《金錢—絕命書》生動書寫了超真實的后現代社會現實,呈現出人類與自身、自然以及文化的疏離,并暗示向真實回歸需要在恢復認知的身心、建立整體性生態社會意識形態、肯定傳統文化的救贖力量三個層面進行。在文本寓言的象征性表達深層,作者傳遞出寄予人們打破消費主義神話、探索個體生存的意義進而緩解整個人類生存危機的期許。

The impact of consumer culture has been a major concern in the fiction of Martin Amis, who closely watches the correlation between social progress and the fate of all mankind. His representative work Money: A Suicide Note vividly depicts the phenomenon of hyperreality in postmodern society, with characters alienated from their real self, nature and traditional culture. The return to the real, the novel suggests, means restoring the knowing body, following the vision of a holistic ecological society and affirming the redemptive power of traditional culture. Through this allegorical text, Amis encourages his readers to break the myth of consumerism, explore the meaning of individual existence, and ultimately resolve the survival crisis of humanity.
