This article exemplifies a mode of analysis in which the novel is read as a practice of self-making under decolonization. The argument is illustrated through attention to Lee Kok Liang’s novelLondon Does Not Belong to Me. Written describing Lee’s experiences as a Malayan law student in London in the 1950s, the novel was published posthumously in Malaysia fifty years later. Comparison of the published text with Lee’s journal of his student days enables a careful study of the process of the novelization of the self as an example of larger processes of subjectification through authorship in the process of decolonization, and in the creation of elite citizen-subjects in the nation-state of Malaya and its successor states of Malaysia and Singapore.

作为后殖民自我塑造的小说化：李国良的伦敦不属于我

本文举例说明了一种分析模式，在这种模式下，小说被解读为一种非殖民化下的自我创造实践。通过关注李国良的小说来说明这一论点伦敦不属于我. 这部小说描述了李在 1950 年代在伦敦作为马来亚法律学生的经历，五十年后在马来西亚死后出版。将已发表的文本与李的学生时代的日记进行比较，可以仔细研究自我小说化的过程，作为在非殖民化过程中通过作者身份进行主体化的更大过程的一个例子，以及在精英公民主体的创造中在民族国家马来亚及其继承国马来西亚和新加坡。
