桑塔格的小说创作与其批评理论及美学观念息息相关。《恩主》文本中,故事情节被消解,人物与叙事者都被驱逐。在种种叙事策略之后,小说最后只剩下可被分析的叙事形式迷宫和空壳,从而向世人宣告作者与读者之间的信任关系的终结。此种影响可以追溯到20世纪50年代法国“新小说”强调的对小说传统叙事形式的摒弃。但艺术不是技术,正如小说并非小说术。桑塔格在文本里的实验技术成功之时,是小说艺术失败之日,其创作实质是在卓越批评观念直接影响下的不成功的实验。 Sontag’s novels are closely related to his theory of criticism and aesthetic ideas. In the “Lord of the Lord” text, the plot of the story is eliminated and both the character and the narrator are expelled. After all kinds of narrative tactics, there are only the labyrinths and empty shell of the narrative form that can be analyzed finally, thus declaring to the world the end of the trust relationship between author and reader. This effect can be traced back to the abandonment of the traditional narrative form of the novel by the French “New Novel” of the 1950s. But art is not technology, just as fiction is not fiction. When Sontag’s experimental technique in the text succeeded, it was the day when the art of the novel failed. The essence of his writing was an unsuccessful experiment directly influenced by the concept of critical discourse.
