Abstract This article, taking its title from T. J. Clark’s The Sight of Death, forges connections between Clark's diaristic, close reading of visual artworks and Ali Smith’s 2014 novel How to be both. Reading their shared interest in the possibilities of re-reading, close reading, or what Clark calls ‘seeing and seeing again,’ I draw on theories of reading, particularly those of Paul Ricoeur, to argue that Smith not only writes a version of Clark's repeated looking—she also produces the conditions within How to be both for her reader to draw out a series of observations which mimic and reward Clark's discourse of detail-orientated and ‘ludicrous’ close attention. Smith's novel, filled with a playful attention to the unit of the letter and the word, does not just pore over questions of artistic and critical practice but invites its own method of close reading too.

又见又见：在画廊里细读

摘要 这篇文章取自 TJ 克拉克的《死亡之视》，将克拉克的日记式、仔细阅读的视觉艺术作品与阿里·史密斯 2014 年的小说《如何成为两者》联系起来。阅读他们对重读、细读或克拉克所说的“再次观看和再次观看”的可能性的共同兴趣，我利用阅读理论，尤其是保罗·利科的理论，论证史密斯不仅写了克拉克的一个版本反复观察——她还在《如何成为两者》中创造条件，让她的读者得出一系列观察结果，模仿和奖励克拉克关于细节导向和“荒谬”密切关注的话语。史密斯的小说充满了对字母和单词单位的俏皮关注，
