内容記述 | Drawing upon previous studies on American Vietnam War literature and the myth of the frontier, America’s dominant national creation myth that romanticizes European settlers’ violent confrontation with native Americans in the New World wilderness, this essay examines Robin Moore’s novel The Green Berets (1965), one of the earliest American fictions to write about the war. It contends that Moore tries to define the land and the people of Vietnam in terms heavily loaded with the conventional images of the frontier mythology, and that those images helped to form the society’s earliest view on the war. This essay reads Moore’s Vietnam combat novel with a special focus upon “Home to Nannette,” a chapter that recounts a Special Forces man’s secret mission to fight with Communist guerrilla forces in Laotian mountains. Narrating the protagonist’s lonesome, perilous journey into the heart of Indochinese wilderness, its plot bears striking similarities to that of what Amy Kaplan calls “swashbuckling romances,” popular historical novels widely read in the latenineteenth-century America. Both Moore’s Vietnam novel and nineteenthcentury historical romances have a white American male endowed with traditional virtues of frontiersmen as their protagonist and dramatizes his violent adventure and romance with an exotic, native woman in foreign landscapes. This essay attempts an in-depth investigation into the narrative similarities between the two to understand further the colonial ideology that underlies Moore’s Vietnam War novel and its close ties with the myth of the frontier. |
