弗兰克.奥康纳的短篇小说《我的俄狄浦斯情节》从儿童的天真视角细腻地描写了一个恋母情节的故事,其风格幽默诙谐。然而读者不难从中发现战争阴影下小说幽默背后的辛酸。奥康纳采用了不可靠叙述者作为一种修辞手段,拉远了“隐含作者”与叙述者的距离,延伸了读者的阅读快感,其独特的叙述技巧赋予了小说经久的艺术魅力。 Frank O. O’Connor’s short story “My Oedipus Episode” portrays the story of a Oedipus plot from the innocent perspective of a child, with a humorous style. However, it is not hard for readers to find the bitterness behind the novel’s humor in the shadow of war. O’Connor used the unreliable narrator as a rhetorical device to distance the “implied author” from the narrator and extend the reader’s pleasure of reading. His unique narrative skills endow the prolonged artistic charm of the novel.
