论张炜的《刺猬歌》及其创作困境

On Zhangwei's Hedgehog and His Predicament of Writing

《剌猬歌》形成了独具特色的魔幻色彩,标志着张炜在小说创作上第二次转变的完成。但小说中的魔幻色彩与现实批判相互疏离:一方面,小说中的"自由"、"放浪"和"亦真亦幻"的世界不能保持自身的完整性;另一方面,这个带有魔幻色彩的世界与张炜所坚守的传统农业文化并不契合。这个现象说明了在新世纪中国的文化语境下张炜的创作困境:既不能构成对现代性的有效批判,也不能融入后现代文化之中。

Zhangwei writes Hedgehog with a specific magic color and the novel indicats that he has finished the second transformation of writing. But the magic color of the novel and the realistic criticism alienate each other. On the one hand, in his novel, the free and wild fantastic world could not keep its integrity; on the other hand, this world of magic color is not consistent with the traditional agricultural culture he is insisting on. It shows his predicament of writing in the cultural and lingual environment in the new century, that he could neither effectively criticize the modernity nor merge into the postmodern culture.
