物·空间·神话——托卡尔丘克《衣柜》的叙事创新

Matter,Space and Myth:The Narrative Innovation of Tokarczuk s Szafa

波兰诺贝尔文学奖获奖作家奥尔加•托卡尔丘克是以小说叙事创新著称的作家,自称她的小说叙事为“第四人称讲述者”。小说集《衣柜》中的三篇小说《衣柜》《房号》《神降》分别以作为衣柜的物、作为酒店房间的空间、作为赛博格程序的神话原型三种形式,表现她所希望探索的“第四人称讲述者”形态与意义。在技术至上的时代,托卡尔丘克的“第四人称讲述者”既建构当代小说叙事的有效创新,又表达现代人与世界存在的问题及其救赎可能。

Polish Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk is famous for her fiction narrative innovation.She calls her novel narrative“fourth person narrator”.The three stories in the collection the Szafa,namely“The Szafa”“The Room Number”and“The Fall of God”,represent the form and meaning of the“fourth person narrator”that Tokarczuk hopes to explore in the form of the object as a closet,the space as a hotel room,and the mythical prototype of the cyborg program.In the era of the supremacy of technology,Tokarczuk s“fourth person narrator”not only constructs the effective innovation of contemporary fiction narrative,but also expresses the problems existing in modern people and the world and its redemption possibility.
