摘要:ABSTRACTEverything I Never Told You is the debut novel of the Chinese American writer Celeste Ng. This essay, with a focus on the gender identity of Nath in the novel, intends to trace his sex-role anxiety, the crisis of masculinity, as well as his sexual ambiguity, arguing that the depiction of his sexual ambiguity is related with the author’s own racial identity, which reflects the dilemmas facing Chinese Americans in the United States.《无声告白》是美籍华裔作家伍琦诗的处女作。本文主要讨论这部小说中内斯的性别身份,追溯他的性别角色焦虑,男性气质危机以及模糊性向,主张作者对其模糊性向的描写与作者本人的种族身份有着紧密的联系,反映了在美华人所面临的困境。
