Abstract
Recognized in Switzerland by numerous prizes, Anne-Claire Decorvet's fiction has yet to make its mark abroad. With the exception of her biographical novel, Un lieu sans raison, inspired by the life of Marguerite Sirvins, it is set predominantly in and around Geneva, explores family and social instability, insanity and psychiatric care in the twentieth century. This article explores some of the distinctive and characteristic features of her writing with a view towards introducing her work to new readers.
安妮-克莱尔·德克尔维特的小说在瑞士获得了众多奖项的认可,但尚未在国外崭露头角。除了她的传记小说《没有理由》(unlieu sans reason)之外,这部小说的灵感来自玛格丽特·西尔文(Marguerite Sirvins)的生活,主要以日内瓦及其周边地区为背景,探讨了20世纪的家庭和社会不稳定、精神错乱和精神护理。本文探讨了她的一些独特的和有特色的写作特征,以期向新读者介绍她的作品。
