摘　　要：《上海交通大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》推出“著名作家高端访谈”栏目,本期访谈2021年布克奖得主达蒙·加尔古特,采访人为阿德莱德大学教授安德鲁·范德弗里斯,围绕《诺言》的创作与叙述者的声音等问题展开。加尔古特认为,疫情所引发的空间改变可能催生全新的美学,他论述了《诺言》故事所采用的四次“快闪瞬间”的结构,认为读者需要凭想象填补快闪瞬间之间的空间。对他而言,作品的创作往往源于某阶段占据头脑的深层次思考。他还阐释了如何以第三人称叙述者身份介入的技巧,让读者意识到有人在讲故事。安德鲁·范德弗里斯指出,世界上也有不同的读者——通过各种方式读到自己的读者,或者是想要读到别人的读者。两位对谈人讨论了寓言体叙述中成分移位的问题,还谈论了达蒙作品中使用阿非利卡语的问题,再现与挪用之间的紧张关系,以及小说标题《诺言》的暗示性。Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Philosophy and Social Sciences)has launched a column titled interviewing Distinguished Writers.This issue has Damon Galgut,2021 Booker Prize winner,as the guest,and Professor Andrew van der Vlies(University of Adelaide)as the Interviewer,focusing on the creation of The Promise and the voice of the narrator.According to Galgut,the space created by the lockdown might lead to a whole new sort of aesthetic.He introduces the structure of four“flashes”adopted in The Promise,where readers need imagination to fill in the space between flashes.For Galgut,ideas for his fiction tend to emerge from whatever is preoccupying him in a deeper way in his life at a certain point.He also discusses how the technique of using third-person narration to alert readers to the existence of someone else who is telling the story.Andrew van der Vlies categorizes different readers in the world:readers who want to read books that are about themselves in one way or another,or readers that want to read about other people.The discussants engage with the question of the dislocation of elements in allegorical writing.They also discuss the Afrikaans used in Galgut s work,the tensions between representation and appropriation,and the suggestiveness of the novel's title,The Promise.
