问题    The two modern writers whose influence on young novelists has been most pervasive are probably James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway. There is no telling how many young writers have gone astray trying to emulate Joyce’s complexity of language and Hemingway’s misleading simplicity.
   I was reminded of that as I read Nicholas Delblanco’s Fathering, an often exasperating novel, because it is so needlessly obscure and reveals so much talent and so little disciplining of that talent.
   The internal maundering of Delblanco’s characters would probably interest a psychoanalyst, trained to decipher their significance as sign posts, But novelists should not write for the edification of psychoanalysts. Ostensibly reproducing the unorganized thoughts, memories and impressions flowing through a character’s mind is not often the best way to make that character comprehensible.
   Such thoughts, memories and impressions become chaotic. The job of the artist is to bring some order and meaning out of that chaos, not to compound it, and to clarify, not befog, the nature of the character.
Delblanco is

选项 A、the author of Fathering
B、a character in Fathering
C、one of the obscure novelists
D、a psychoanalyst

答案A

解析 根据第二段中的“I was reminded of that as I read Nicholas Delblanco’s Fathering’’,我们就可看出[A]为正确答案,而 [B]错误。[C]在文中无明确说明,[D]中所述与第二段第…—句相矛盾。
