汤姆·麦卡锡的《记忆残留》在出版后,被称为“英国近十年最棒的小说”。小说主人公在遭受脑部创伤后,认为其生活体验都变为“二手”的。因此,他试图通过情景再现的方式来追求“真实而自然”的感觉。小说主人公不断的解构,再建构生活中的简单动作和情景,并且进行重复演练,在其追求“真实”的同时,其手法确是不真实的人为导演的情景再现。小说中的真实与非真实值得探讨和研究。 After Tom McCarthy’s “Memory Residue” was published, it was described as “the best novel in nearly a decade in the United Kingdom.” After suffering from brain trauma, the protagonist believes that his life experience has become “second-hand ”. Therefore, he tries to pursue the feeling of “real and natural” through the way of scene reproduction. The protagonists continue to deconstruct, reconstruct simple movements and scenes in life, and carry out repetitive exercises. In pursuit of “real ” at the same time, the method is indeed an unrealistic man-made director scene reproduction. The true and the unreal in the novel deserves to be explored and studied.
