Abstract

This article explores themes of place, literature and friendship through an engagement with David Malouf’s novel Johhno. Set in Brisbane and Italy, the article takes the form of a creative non-fiction essay, in six sections. The narrator reflects on her wanderings, bent on renunciation of everything except writing, yet hoping for revelation or union. Whereas for Malouf’s characters, Dante and Johnno, Brisbane offers a canvas to hurl themselves against, the narrator of ‘All You See’ takes the city as a point of arrival and departure. She veers towards and away from family, friends and lovers, crossing cities and continents, eventually returning home, yet still at odds with what she knows and what she has lived.

所见即所感

本文通过对大卫-马鲁夫（David Malouf）的小说《乔赫诺》（Johhno）的研究，探讨了地方、文学和友谊的主题。文章以布里斯班和意大利为背景，采用非虚构创作散文的形式，共分六节。叙述者反思了她的流浪生活，一心想放弃除写作之外的一切，但又希望得到启示或结合。对于马鲁夫笔下的人物但丁和约翰诺来说，布里斯班是一块可以肆意挥洒的画布，而《你所看到的一切》中的叙述者则将这座城市作为抵达和离开的地点。她在与家人、朋友和恋人的交往中时隐时现，跨越城市和大陆，最终回到家乡，但仍然与她所了解的和她所经历的生活格格不入。
