摘要
具有爱尔兰和美国双重国籍的科伦·麦凯恩是当今享有盛名的作家,小说《转吧,这伟大的世界》一经出版便好评如潮,获得美国国家图书奖和世界上奖金最高的单一文学奖"国际IMPA都柏林文学奖"。麦凯恩善于描写生活在异域文化中少数族裔的心理错位与身份追寻问题。短篇小说集《垂钓黑李河》的开篇之作《姐妹》即是反映该主题的上乘之作。本文将从小说叙述者肖娜入手,结合文中的"黄袜子"意象,探讨小说主人公肖娜从最初对爱尔兰文化的否认与漠视,随后的逃离与摒弃到最终的追寻与认可的成长过程,揭示麦凯恩对爱尔兰文化身份属性的探索以及对爱尔兰文化身份回归的一贯关注和思考。
Colum McCann, who holds American Irish Dual Citizenship, is a renowned writer. Once his novel Let the Great World Spin published, it has been received rave reviews and awarded American National Book Award and International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. McCann is good at portraying the ethnic minorities who are displaced and pursue sense of identity abroad. Sisters, the first short novel in Fishing the Sloe-Black River, is one of the best to reflect this theme. This paper centers on the narrator Sheona, combined with the image ＂yellow socks＂ to explore the initiation of her, so as to reveal McCann＇s exploration of Irish identity and his consistent attention and consideration on its returning.
