《远东来信》是一部反映二战时期在华犹太人生活的小说，但它并不是一部仅仅以题材取胜的作品，事实上，小说更成功的还是它的艺术形式。小说中谢东泓对雷奥故事的调查被作为主要线索写进小说，这种安排增加了小说的纪实成分，创造了近似实录的效果；小说双线交替的结构使作者能够更灵活地观照生活，避免了由对生活“正面强攻”带来的繁琐与生硬；小说丰富的民间叙事提供了真实的乡村生活，也给“雷奥在中国农村”的故事提供了真实的背景。%Letter f rom the Far East is a novel that reflects the life of Jews in China during World War II .The most attractive feature about it is its artistic form rather than the theme .Taking Xie Donghong's in‐vestigation of Reo as the main clue and the dual‐clue as the main structure ,it not only adds the documenta‐ry elements into the fiction to produce the authentic effects but also enables the author to be more flexible in reflecting life without the tedious and blunt description .The rich folk narrative also provides an actual background to the story of Reo's real rural life in China .
