摘　　要：科马克·麦卡锡是美国当代最具影响力的小说家、剧作家之一。他的艺术成长轨迹和创作实践过程明显带有萨缪尔·贝克特的影子。然而,“贝克特特征”绝不是麦卡锡小说创作的一个新动向,早在他的第四部小说《萨特里》中就已呈现出与贝克特的第一部小说《莫菲》微妙复杂的互文性关系,萨特里被认为是“另一个莫菲”。沿着互文性这条线索对两部小说进行对比分析,探讨它们之间的主题关联和互文指涉,力图寻觅艺术大师们在文学生涯中所留下的碰撞、交错和链接的痕迹。尤其是,通过解读萨特里的“神秘”经历与莫菲脑子“三个区域”的相互映照和互文性结构关系,尝试解开萨特里所关注的一些哲学问题之谜,深刻认识死亡的人类意识、超越自我的可能性和非理性或超理性知识的可信性等主题意蕴。Cormac McCarthy is one of the most influential novelist and playwright in contemporary American literature. He closely resembles Samuel Beckett in his artistic growth and creative practice. However, this Beckett-like quality is by no means a new development in McCarthy’s work, early in his fourth novel Suttree a meticulous and complex intertextual rela-tionship was made up with Beckett’s first novel Murphy. Suttree looks so like Beckett’s “hero” that he might well be con-sidered as the Othermurphy. Through the discussion of the two novels side by side, this essay tries to explore how they are interlinked thematically, and search the traces of influence left by the great masters in their literary career, especially, through the intertextual approach to the relationship between Suttree's “mystical” experiences and the “three zones" of Mur-phys mind, it casts light on some of Sut tree's philosophic concerns, particularly as they relate to the human consciousness of death, the possibility of transcending selfhood, and the validity of non-or suprarational knowledge.
