ABSTRACT

Throughout his career, Amos Oz explored different kinds of narrations that would enable him to capture both the story of individuals and the voices of the collective. The stories often presented a tension between the first person singular and the first person plural narration. In A Tale of Love and Darkness, Oz finally found a harmonious and comfortable way to speak and write in what I define as his “fluid I-Us” voice. I argue that a key to understanding the new and poetic I of A Tale of Love and Darkness is the 1999 book The Same Sea, which preceded the memoir. This book was the first fictional work by Oz to include his biographical self. In this book, Oz experimented with prose poetry, and with the narrative possibilities that the lyrical “I” can introduce into his work.

摘要

在他的整个职业生涯中，阿莫斯·奥兹探索了不同类型的叙述，这将使他能够捕捉个人的故事和集体的声音。这些故事经常在第一人称单数叙述和第一人称复数叙述之间呈现张力。在《爱与黑暗的故事》中，奥兹终于找到了一种和谐舒适的方式来用我定义为他“流畅的 I-Us”的声音来说话和写作。我认为，理解《爱与黑暗的故事》中新颖而富有诗意的我的关键是 1999 年的《同一片海》，在回忆录之前。这本书是奥兹第一部包含他的传记自我的虚构作品。在这本书中，奥兹尝试了散文诗，以及抒情的“我”可以在他的作品中引入的叙事可能性。
