摘要
菲尔·克莱在短篇小说集《重新派遣》中展现了"后9·11"语境下美国战争书写的一条独特进路:不再重复奥布莱恩、海明威等人战争文学正典中的"绝望"和"创伤"程式,也拒绝将当代伊战的个体经验贴上"不可言说性"的神秘主义封条,而是以一种更为实用主义的伦理表达,寻求战争经验和日常生活的最大通约性,从而寻求两者的交流潜能与道德对话。
Phil Klay in his debut short story collection Redeployment paves new ground for American post-9/11 war writing. He refuses to repeat the classic paradigms, exemplified by authors like Ernest Hemingway and Tim O'Brien, which are solely concerned with desperation and trauma. Nor does Klay label the contemporary Iraq war as "some mystically unspeakable experience." Rather, he seeks for a pragmatic ethics that takes one's war experience and daily life as commensurable, and consequently realizes the communicative potentials and ethical dialogues between soldiers and civilians.
