As it was published in 1935, Mules and Men, Zora Neale Hurston’s landmark collection of folktales, may not have been the book that its author first had in mind. In this anthropological study, Hurston describes in detail the people who tell the stories, often even inserting herself into the storytelling scene. Evidently, however, Hurston had prepared another version, a manuscript that was recently discovered and published after having been forgotten since 1929. This version differs from Mules and Men in that it simply records stories, with no descriptive or interpretive information.
While we cannot know for certain why Hurston’s original manuscript went unpublished during her lifetime, it may have been because publishers wanted something more than a transcription of tales. Contemporary novelist and critic John Edgar Wideman has described Black literature as the history of a writing that sought to escape its frame, in other words, as the effort of Black writers to
present
the stories of Black people without having to have a mediating voice to explain the stories to a non-Black audience. In this, Hurston may have been ahead of her time. [br] The passage suggests that Hurston may have done which of the following in preparing her original version?
选项
A、Discussed her mode of presentation with her publisher before writing the first draft, in order to reduce the possibility of misunderstanding.
B、Shortened her presentation of the stories to the bare minimum in order to be able to present more folklore material.
C、Put it aside for several decades in order to maximize its potential audience when it was published.
D、Reluctantly agreed to reshape it in order to take out various elements with which her publisher had been dissatisfied.
E、Chose not to include editorial commentary, in order to present the stories on their own terms.
答案
E
解析
本题问的是一开始的版本,即那个未被出版的版本,选项E正确。根据原文可知,这个未被出版的版本其特点就是只呈现故事,而没有任何的解读。A项没提和出版商讨论。B项文中没提故事的数量。C项这一版本是用来专门针对非裔美国人的,没有顾及其他种族的美国人读者,因此它出版的时候无法最大化潜在读者。D项这一版本只有故事,出版的版本增加了解释,因此未出版的版本反而是增加了元素才能满足那些出版商。
