Abstract

Roberto Bolaño’s achievement is to have written “literature about literature” that nevertheless feels profoundly alive, immediate, and exciting. This literature recognizes the intimidating and ethically dubious aspects of fiction writing, and of writing as a whole, while also imbuing its storytelling with feelings of energy and exultation. This article discusses Bolaño’s novel Distant Star and his other works, including the novel Amuleto. Drawing upon a framework of religion, secularism, and postsecularism, this article shows how Bolaño follows an ethics of writing which turns the fear of writing into a joyful and liberating activity.

罗伯托-波拉尼奥小说中的写作恐惧与快乐
罗伯托-波拉尼奥的成就在于,他写出了 "关于文学的文学",但却让人深感鲜活、直接和激动人心。这种文学作品认识到了小说写作乃至整个写作的令人生畏和道德上的可疑之处,同时也使其叙事充满活力和欢欣鼓舞的感觉。本文讨论了波拉尼奥的小说《遥远的星》及其他作品,包括小说《阿姆莱托》。本文以宗教、世俗主义和后世俗主义为框架,展示了波拉尼奥如何遵循一种写作伦理,将写作的恐惧转化为一种快乐和解放的活动。

期刊介绍: Literature and Theology, a quarterly peer-review journal, provides a critical non-confessional forum for both textual analysis and theoretical speculation, encouraging explorations of how religion is embedded in culture. Contributions should address questions pertinent to both literary study and theology broadly understood, and be consistent with the Journal"s overall aim: to engage with and reshape traditional discourses within the studies of literature and religion, and their cognate fields - biblical criticism, literary criticism, philosophy, politics, culture studies, gender studies, artistic theory/practice, and contemporary critical theory/practice.
