摘要
英国当代女作家珍妮特·温特森的代表作《橘子不是唯一的水果》是一部在题材和创作手法上非常大胆的作品。小说取材于作者本人的成长经历,却又融入了神话传奇、童话寓言等虚构的成分,从而模糊了传记与小说之间的文类界限。同时,通过写实性叙事和自我反思性叙事这两重声音的交叉和并置,温特森揭示了小说的虚构本质和叙事性质。除此以外,小说还通过戏仿和互文的技巧对传统、历史和现实价值进行批判、质疑。所有这些都凸显了作品的后现代主义叙事特征,颠覆了传统叙事策略和读者角色,体现了温特森在文学范式上的创新以及对主流文化意识形态的批判。
Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, written by contemporary British woman writer Jeanette Winterson, is a threatening work in terms of its subject matter and narrative form. Winterson in the novel blurs the line between autobiography and fiction by fusing facts with myths and fairy tales, and employing metafictional skills to uncover the fictive nature of the novel. Furthermore, by making parodies of the classic texts, the novel questions the validity of history and traditional values. Exhibiting the hallmarks of post- modernist fiction, this novel defies the traditional notions of narrative and the reader＇s role, demonstrating Winterson＇s writing creativity and her critique of mainstream ideology.
