摘要
As a popular science fiction writer,Paolo Bacigalupi has drawn great attention with his marvelous fictions and novels,yet limited researches have focused on his novels rather than short stories,mostly analyzing from aspects like ecologism,feminism,dystopia,and anthropocene.This paper intends to analyze one of his short fictions,The Fluted Girl,using the theory of alienation to unveil the social problems hidden in the story,in order to further explore the author’s writing intention.In this grotesque and thrilling story world,Bacigalupi shows his ethical concern for the era we are living in,urging the readers to rethink about the alienation in our world.
