Mr Ferris insists that The Unnamed is not a work of magical realism, but of realistmagic. By inventing an incurable disease, he can meditate on its impacton a marriage,on a career, on a character s self-esteemwithout dragging in the baggage of a familiarillness. This also amplifies the horror, leaving readers just as perplexed about what isafflicting Tim. Is this a physical or mental problem? Can a line be drawn between the two? Inthe last third of the book, Tim gives himself over to his need to walk. Raving anddeteriorating, he lets his legs take him across the country, living a hobo s life withoutpossessions or attachments . Yet Tim s dilemmas still feel real and his needs sympathetic. How does he go on?How does anyone?
费里斯先生坚持《莫名》并不是一部魔幻现实主义的作品,而是一部现实魔幻小说。他能够通过创造一种难以治愈的疾病来思考它对于婚姻,事业或者主人公自尊心的影响而不是通过某种司空见惯的疾病。也正是这样,小说又加深了它带来的恐惧感,使读者对缇姆痛苦的原因困惑不解,到底是生理的还是心理的问题呢?这两者之间能不能画出一条分界线?在小说后三分之一的部分,缇姆放弃了一切去满足自己行走的需要。他任由自己的双腿穿越整个国家,咆哮着,病情不断恶化,他过上了流浪者的生活,没有财产,没有携带任何附属装置。但缇姆的困境始终可以被真实的感知,并且他需要人们的同情。他会怎么样?其他人呢?
