《感觉迟钝的人》(The Man of SlowFeeling)是他短篇小说中的名篇之一,作者1985年以此为书名结集出版了他的部分短篇小说。迈克尔·怀尔丁是一位激进的作家,在创作方法上进行了大胆的探索。他喜欢超现实主义的表现手法,作品富于幻想,充满浪漫主义色彩和喜剧色彩,用引喻、象征等手法表现了作者对人生、社会的认识。本篇即是一个典型的例证。本篇根据默里·贝尔主编的《费伯澳大利亚当代短篇小说集》1988年版译出。 One of his short stories, The Man of Slow Feeling, was co-published in 1985 by the author, publishing some of his short stories. Michael Wyderding is a radical writer who explores creatively. He likes surrealistic techniques of expression. His works are full of illusions, full of romanticism and comedy, and show the author’s understanding of life and society through such techniques as metaphors and symbols. This article is a typical example. This article is based on Murphy Bell’s “Faber Collection of Australian Contemporary Short Stories” 1988 edition translated.
