Abstract There is a complex and mysterious relationship between the new realist novel and the existentialist philosophy. From the two key words “absurd” and “troublesome”, we can find that: on the one hand, the new realism novels are based on existentialism, reflecting the perspectives of “existence before the essence” and “existence is absurd” ; On the other hand, it goes to the opposite side of existentialism and abandons the resistance to absurdity and free choice advocated by existentialist philosophies. One of the main reasons is that the new realism novel contains the dual dimensions of pursuing modernity and reflections of modernity, resulting in a series of divisions in the internal philosophical concept and value orientation: It transforms from anti-essentialism to the essence of daily life, from the critical position of intellectuals to the position of populism, from the denial of the meaning of daily life to the reconstruction of the value of secular life. This perspective of comparison can give us a deep understanding of the interaction between social reality and textual practice, between historical experience and literary expression. The acceptance and transformation of new realist fiction on existentialism also offers us a lesson on the influence study of comparative literature.
