摘要《更多人死于心碎》是美国作家索尔贝娄的作品，它并不为人们所熟知。迄今为止, 国内外有关贝娄及其作品的各种评论层出不穷, 但研究重点主要集中在对《赫索格》及《勿失良辰》等最主要的代表作品的主题、技巧及人物分析上, 而对充分展示了其后现代zhuyi特色的优秀作品《更多的人死于心碎》的研究则相对较少。

本文将采用文献研究的方法，从黑色幽默、讽刺以及文学典故的使用等三个方面来解读小说《更多的人死于心碎》中的后现代zhuyi因素, 旨在反映现代西方人生存的精神荒原。本文着重分析《更多的人死于心碎》这部小说中黑色幽默的使用、讽刺以及文学典故的使用, 进而论述作品的后现代zhuyi因素，以及他们是如何表达后现代zhuyi思想的。

通过对后现代小说的分析可以帮助读者更好的阅读后现代zhuyi作品，加深对其的认识，促进后现代文学在社会中的普及与应用。而且，后现代的研究可以帮助作家更好的把握后现代的写作手法，在写作时能灵活的运用这些手法从而推动后现代zhuyi文学的发展。最后，本文有助于加深读者对当前社会的理解，由于现今大多数后现代zhuyi作品都表现出批判社会的态度，并且后现代zhuyi将我们所处的客观社会看为一个无理性的混乱的充满愤世嫉俗与怀疑的社会，这将在一定程度上起到催人梦醒的作用。
