苏珊·桑塔格《死亡匣子》中的替身历险

The “Double” Adventure in Susan Sontag’s Death Kit

美国作家苏珊·桑塔格的长篇小说《死亡匣子》是一部艰深晦涩之作。本文认为,聚焦小说隐含的'替身'元素,有助于厘清小说离奇的故事情节、杂糅的人物身份和悬置的历史视点,从而充分理解这部精耕人物心理、暗含自我博弈、聚焦历史反思的小说所承载的创伤内涵。

Death Kit,Susan Sontag’s novel,is often criticized as quite abstruse and unfathomable.Inspections of the implicit artistic element,'Double',are invited to denote the uncanny plots,to figure out the blended characters,and to clarify the historical context.By doing so,the connotations of trauma,which are knitted into characters’psychology,writer’s self-confrontation,and reflections on American history,can be highlighted.
