摘要:David Large reassembles snippets from various donor texts to evoke the monstrous spectre of influence on the act of creative composition. Large's donor texts include Conrad Aiken's "Blue Voyage", Byron's "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" as read by Herman Melville, and Lowry's letters, poetry and novels, adopting a similar method of appropriation to Lowry and producing a similar sense of unease.
