编码与解码游戏——《恩主》的隐含作者问题

A Game of Coding and Decoding:The Implied Author in The Benefactor

苏珊·桑塔格的处女作《恩主》作为一部奇异的梦想之作引发了不同的阐释,但结合该小说的创作背景来看,与其不可靠叙述密切相关的隐含作者的问题尚未引起关注。这部小说强调作者与读者之间的互动交流,在编织初涉文坛的作者的文学梦的同时也展开了一场编码与解码的游戏。

Full of strange dreams, Susan Sontag＇s first novel The Benefactor has brought about different interpretations. However, referring to the writing background, we may find that what escapes critical attention is the issue of the implied author, which is closely related with the widely noticed unreliable narration in the novel. Emphasizing the interaction between the author and the reader, the novel shows the beginner＇s writing dreams in the world of letters and plays a game of coding and decoding as well.
