摘要：This essay argues that Roger McDonald’s debut novel 1915 represents a form of literary modernism which rejects the easy aesthetic comforts of ‘late colonial transcendentalism’ (17). McDonald presents an intricate -- we might even say ritualised -- pattern of subversive counterpoint to ‘reveal and dramatise the failure of the subject to escape its own limits, and hence its own history’ (McCann 155). The result is a highly self-conscious literary novel that seeks to reconcile the art of high modernism with a postcolonial practice interested in the consequences of public memory.
