库切小说《伊丽莎白·科斯特洛:八堂课》将讲座与故事融为一体,哲理性、学术性与主题相关性不仅存在于库切贴上“讲座”标签的引号话语中,而且还间接、微妙而含蓄地贯穿在整个故事叙述过程中,故事本身显现出的哲理思辨与学术思考从而变得自然得体。库切的文本实验为后现代文学提供了思辨式超小说的新样式。 Coach’s novel Elizabeth Costello: The Eight Courses combines lectures and stories, and the philosophical, academic, and thematic relevance exists not only in quotation marks on the library’s “lecture” label But also indirectly, subtly and implicitly throughout the narrative process of the whole story, the philosophical speculation and academic reflections of the story itself become naturally decent. Coetzee ’s textual experiment provides a new style of speculative superfiction for the postmodern literature.
