摘要(Abstract)：

Cultural memory is an advanced historical view that examines, inherits, and surpasses the history and cultural heritage. John Barth’s Coming Soon!!! A Narrative explores the fictional reality and historical view of time from personal and cultural memory writing. John Barth breaks the boundary of the past, present and future by using the inherent characteristics of the postmodern novel such as diversity, uncertainty, and chaos. The reconstruction of history through memory writing enables modern people to find ways to solve the dilemma through self-examination.
