帕特利克·怀特是澳大利亚最重要的现代主义文学家、1973年诺贝尔文学奖得主。怀特是一位同性恋作家,在当时主流文化的压制下,他在作品中对于性与性身份问题的表现较为隐晦,作品中人物的性身份和性角色常常处于不稳定、不确定的流动状态。通过对于怀特作品中人物性身份的发掘,我们将得以了解其对人性方方面面深刻认识。 Patric Wright is the most important modernist writer in Australia, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1973. White is a gay writer. Under the suppression of the mainstream culture at the time, White’s performance on sexual and sexual identities is rather obscure. His characters and sexual roles are often in an unstable and uncertain state of flow. Through the excavation of the human identity in White’s work, we will understand its profound understanding of all aspects of human nature.
