Kỹ thuật tự sự trong tiểu thuyết Cõi nhân gian của Nguyễn Phúc Lộc Thành

Abstract

Narrative theory has been interesting in Vietnam since the early 2000s and quickly became a potential research direction in literature. In early 2022, the novel "Coi Nhan Gian" by Nguyen Phuc Loc Thanh with the content reflecting the picture of Vietnamese society at the end of the 20th century - the beginning of the 21st century has resonated in the literature. The article gives an overview and evaluation of this novel based on the aspects of narrative theory: (1) Narrator and narrative point of view; (2) Structure organization, and character building in the work. The approach is the basis for affirming the aesthetic values and own imprints in terms of artistic expression, contributing to the positioning of the work in contemporary Vietnamese literature.
