论艾丽斯·沃克的名著《梅丽迪安》的叙事策略

On the Narrative Strategies of Alice Walker's Famous Novel Meridian

《梅丽迪安》(1976)是沃克的第二部长篇小说,被列为20世纪70年代十佳小说之一。在这部小说中,沃克采取了独特的叙事策略。不仅对叙事时间进行了戏剧化的处理,利用了热奈特所界定的"时间倒错"的叙事技巧,而且利用"并置"等空间叙事技巧,给人耳目一新的感觉。

Meridian,Walker＇s second novel,is ranked one of the best ten novels written in the 1970s.In the novel,Walker adopts the unique narrative strategies.She not only deals with the narrative time dramatically,using＂anachronism＂defined by Genette,but also exploits the spatial narrative techniques,such as＂juxtaposition＂to offer a fresh impression to the readers.
