John Kinsella’s fiction emphasizes similar themes of environmental activism, political protest, and critique of Australian society, as does his widely acclaimed poetry. As in his verse, his orientation as a fiction writer is both local and global, regional and cosmopolitan. But in his fiction Kinsella engages in a double interrogation of both mainstream society and his own posture in opposition to it. In the novella Pink Lake a film director is interviewed by an uncomprehending journalist and driven to desperation by the philistinism of Australian society. But his own arrogance, unexamined white and male privilege, and illusion that just because he practices what he calls cinema vérité he has in fact attained the truth mean that he is part of the problem as well. Kinsella examines the problematics of social critique in a neoliberal world, noting their ironies while still believing in their possibility and necessity.

约翰金塞拉的粉红湖简介

约翰·金塞拉 (John Kinsella) 的小说和他广受赞誉的诗歌一样，都强调了环保行动主义、政治抗议和对澳大利亚社会的批判等类似主题。正如在他的诗中一样，他作为小说作家的定位既是地方性的，也是全球性的，是地区性的，也是世界性的。但在他的小说中，金塞拉对主流社会和他自己反对主流社会的态度进行了双重审问。在中篇小说《粉红湖》中，一位电影导演接受了一位不理解的记者的采访，并被澳大利亚社会的庸俗主义逼向了绝望。但他自己的傲慢、未经审查的白人和男性特权，以及仅仅因为他实践了他所谓的电影真实性，他实际上已经获得了真相的幻想，意味着他也是问题的一部分。金塞拉研究了新自由主义世界中社会批判的问题，
