ABSTRACT Much contemporary queer US literature aims at physical and metaphorical density to write against the systematic subjugation and marginalisation of queer lives, the lingering inequalities of LGBTQIA+ people, and the disintegration of alternative spaces and networks. In response to the fragility of safe queer environments in US culture, novels such as Garth Greenwell’s What Belongs to You display density, materiality and compaction. Texts like this utilise and deploy condensed narrative forms, thickening depictions of the personal and cultural memory, as well as a material attention to the body. This article moves away from the dominant mode of temporality that has defined queer studies for some time to think more particularly about memory and its relation to narrative and corporeality. By concentrating on Greenwell’s novel, this article will show how personal memories of emerging gay subjectivities are entwined in broader queer cultural memories.

加思·格林威尔（Garth Greenwell）的《属于你的东西》中的奇怪密度：叙事，记忆，肉体

摘要美国当代许多酷儿文学的研究对象是身体和隐喻的密度，目的是反对酷儿生活的系统征服和边缘化，LGBTQIA +人的挥之不去的不平等以及替代性空间和网络的瓦解。为了应对美国文化中安全的酷儿环境的脆弱性，加思·格林威尔（Garth Greenwell）的《属于你的东西》（What Belongs to You）等小说表现出密度，物质性和压实性。诸如此类的文本利用并运用了简洁的叙事形式，加深了对个人和文化记忆的描绘，以及对身体的物质关注。这篇文章摆​​脱了暂时性的主导模式，该模式已经定义了酷儿研究一段时间，以更加具体地考虑记忆及其与叙事和亲物性的关系。通过专注于格林威尔的小说，
