Abstract

Background: Ambitious narratives are being produced in Albanian literature usually by young writers who are making a name for themselves and are being honoured for their works by juries and the media alike. However, their ambition, being the drive behind their thematic works, is equally a challenge to rise to. Purpose: This article aims at analysing the reasons for failing to fulfil the literary ambition, as well as to clearly delineate the contribution of such works in their mission as literary narratives. Method: I have chosen to apply rhetorical analysis as developed principally by James Phelan on a tale by the young Albanian writer Loer Kume, for which he was honoured with a prestigious prize in literature, the “Kadare Prize” in 2019. Conclusion: Foregrounding of thematic interest in literature, such as that relating to our attitude to morality, fails to convince the readers when offered with too much guidance and becomes an aesthetic liability.

无处可去的路:Loer Kume的“雪人”
背景:阿尔巴尼亚文学中正在产生雄心勃勃的叙述,通常是由年轻作家创作的,他们正在成名,并因其作品受到评审团和媒体的尊重。然而,作为他们主题作品背后的动力,他们的雄心壮志同样是一个挑战。目的:本文旨在分析未能实现文学抱负的原因,并清晰地描绘这些作品在其文学叙事使命中的贡献。方法:我选择将主要由詹姆斯·费伦(James Phelan)开发的修辞分析应用于阿尔巴尼亚年轻作家洛尔·库姆(Loer Kume)的一个故事,他因此获得了2019年的著名文学奖“卡达雷奖”。结论:文学中突出的主题兴趣,例如与我们对道德的态度有关的主题兴趣,如果给予过多的引导,就无法说服读者,成为一种审美上的缺陷。
