“Masterpieces are dumb,” wrote Flaubert, “They have a tranquil aspect like the very products of nature, like large animals and mountains.” He might have been thinking of War and Peace, that vast, silent work, unfathomable and simple, provoking endless questions through the majesty of its being. Tolstoi’s simplicity is “overpowering,” says the critic Bayley, “disconcerting,” because it comes from “his casual assumption that the world is as he sees it.” Like other nineteenth-century Russian writers he is “impressive” because he “means what he says,” but he stands apart from all others and from most Western writers in his identity with life, which is so complete as to make us forget he is an artist. He is the center of his work, but his egocentricity is of a special kind. Goethe, for example, says Bayley, “cared for nothing but himself. Tolstoi was nothing but himself.”

23. The author quotes from Bayley (line 8-20) to show that
(A) although Tolstoi observes and interprets life, he maintains no self-conscious distance from his experience
(B) the realism of Tolstoi’s work gives the illusion that his novels are reports of actual events
(C) unfortunately, Tolstoi is unaware of his own limitation, though he is sincere in his attempt to describe experience
(D) although Tolstoi works casually and makes unwarranted assumption, his work has an inexplicable appearance of truth
(E) Tolstoi’s personal perspective makes his work almost unintelligible to the majority of his readers

最后两句话强调的是什么呢？还有A选项表达的又是什么意思呢？

选A吧
maintain no distance from his experience 就是完全靠自我经验
self-conscious就是自知的意思是可能在托尔斯泰不自知的情况下也有一些不靠自我经验的（也说得通啦比如记忆有时候会加入一些听说的看到过的但后来想起来可能觉得自己也经历过）但在自知的情况下托尔斯泰完全就是凭自我经验（这点更显示出托尔斯泰艺术家的一面吧艺术家都是自知的，有其主张的）

B说托尔斯泰只有他自己呼应上句的egocentricity， the center of his world
其实全篇也都在讲这个比如the world is as he sees it， he means what he says，然后在identity of life上不受所有其他人和西方作家的影响

这题应该是是否定Tolstoi的利己主义对他的文学作品的影响吧，用歌德来做对比，所以说选E吧。
