V.S.奈保尔在其写作生涯里始终面临两个世界的双重困境,无法完全认同其中任何一方,游离于两个世界之间,在边缘写作。与大多数后殖民作家一样,由于复杂独特的文化身份因素的影响,导致作家主要以叙述个人移民史、家族迁移史、族群苦难史作为对抗主流文化、文学的策略。 V.S. Naipaul has always faced the double dilemma of both worlds in his writing career. He could not fully agree with either of them and was free to write between the two worlds. Like most post-colonial writers, due to the influence of complex and unique cultural identity factors, writers mainly use the history of individual immigration, family migration and the history of ethnic misery as strategies against mainstream culture and literature.
