1 Signs of Anguish in Gerald Murnane’s Landscape with Landscape Kong Yilei , Wang Labao , 2021 single work criticism
— Appears in: Contemporary Foreign Literature , no. 1 2021; (p. 82-88) 'Gerald Murnane’s landmark novel, Landscape with Landscape(1985), is a masterpiece of Australian postmodern experimental fiction. Divided into six parts, which could be read as six independent stories, the book adopts the structure of embedded Chinese Boxes, providing both unity and a feeling of inescapable entrapment. The characters in the book use a series of images, such as juice, freckles on a woman’s skin and the mandala, to communicate their secret impulses and desires for the real beyond life’s immediate impressions. Through these images, the book examines the wide gap between flesh and spirit, ideals and reality in Australian society and literary writing, and the depression and anguish of a new generation of Australian writers. With its allegorical presentation of the inescapable confinement and anguish experienced by emerging writers, this book stands as a classic work of Australian anguish on the eve of the country’s literary modernization.'

1 The Communicative Intention of Silence in Remembering Babylon 沉默背后的交际意图——析《忆起了巴比伦》 Kong Yilei , 2012 single work criticism
— Appears in: Contemporary Foreign Literature , vol. [2012] no. 3 2012; (p. 125-133)

'澳大利亚作家戴维·马洛夫的小说《忆起了巴比伦》自出版以来,在广受赞誉的同时也受到了部分质疑和批评.有评论家认为这部小说在土著问题上忽略了他们遭受的压迫,“将政治一笔抹煞”.这样的批评主要源于对小说中三种沉默的误读,忽略了沉默背后的交际意图.该小说的真正意义蕴藏在沉默背后,借助会话沉默与主题沉默,马洛夫揭露和批判了历史上澳大利亚白人在建构家园的过程中对土著所采取的直接暴力和文化暴力,同时他还通过文本沉默向读者展示了土著文化的深邃质朴,指出只有向土著学习,白人才能成功在此建构家园.'
