亦真亦幻——《普宁》的叙事伦理

Reality or Imagination:An Interpretation of Narrative Ethics on Pnin

纳博科夫的小说《普宁》融虚幻与真实于一体。该作品叙事方式独特,不可靠叙事强化了读者与叙述者及叙述文本之间的互动关系;而叙事主题则体现在作者对时间和意象的独具匠心的安排上,从而引导读者去思索普宁的人生境遇。这反映了纳博科夫对现实与虚构的艺术理解,更是其对人类的现实生存境遇的深刻思索。

The novel Pnin, composed by Nabokov, integrates imagination into reality. Original in narrative ap- proach, the novel highlights the interaction among readers, the narrator and the narrative text via the application of unreliable narration. Presented in skillful use of time and images, the narrative theme leads readers to careful consideration on Pnin＇ s circumstances in life. This reflects Nabokov＇ s artful understanding of reality and imagi- nation as well as his deep pondering on living situations of humans in reality.
