This essay aims to reimagine our narrative and queer theories by speculating on possible queer narrative forms. I start from three facets of this problem: the literary archive that has shaped queer theory, the narratological archive that has lately started grappling with its intersection with queer theory, and new queer narrative, via Gregory Bredbeck’s discussion of New Narrative and the distinctions between gay and queer narrative, narrative and antinarrative. From the theoretical frameworks, I turn to a close reading of the remarkable experimental narratives of Renee Gladman’s The Ravickians and Ben Marcus’s Age of Wire and String to show how not all experimental narratives are queer, or even New Narrative, but some open up remarkably queer possibilities.

本文旨在通过推测可能的酷儿叙事形式来重新构想我们的叙事和酷儿理论。我从这个问题的三个方面开始：通过 Gregory Bredbeck 对新叙事和同性恋之间区别的讨论，塑造了酷儿理论的文学档案、最近开始努力与酷儿理论交叉的叙事学档案和新酷儿叙事和酷儿叙事，叙事和反叙事。从理论框架来看，我转而仔细阅读蕾妮·格拉德曼 (Renee Gladman) 的《拉维克人》( The Ravickians)和本·马库斯 (Ben Marcus) 的《电线时代》( Age of Wire and String ) 的非凡实验性叙事，以表明并非所有实验性叙事都是酷儿，甚至是新叙事，但有些则非常酷可能性。
