彼得·凯里的《格拉布斯》是魔幻现实主义的典范,是用魔幻现实主义叙事技巧所创造的一个寓言。在故事中,凯里通过格拉布斯带女友嘉曼尔驱车去汽车影院并被困在星星影院数日的历程创造出一个魔幻现实主义的叙事结构。隐含在魔幻现实主义结构下面的是一股强大的自然主义暗流,格拉布斯的行动折射出人物与环境之间的关系。凯里将魔幻现实主义与自然主义结合在一起,旨在揭露作品中“不可获得的梦想”这一主题。 Peter Carey’s Grabs is a model for magical realism, a parable created with magical realist narrative techniques. In the story, Carey created a magical realist narrative through Grubbs’ girlfriend, Kamal, drove to a car theaters and was trapped in a cinema for a few days. Implied in the magical realist structure is a powerful undercurrent of naturalism, Grubbs’s actions reflect the relationship between characters and the environment. Carey combines magical realism with naturalism to expose the theme of “Unrealized Dreams” in his work.
