Another Talk About Chili's Novel" Whether Or Not ,Better to Live

池莉小说《冷也好热也好活着就好》对小人物成功地进行了“原生态”的写实描写,但却造成了人物形象的单纯化;作者从现实生活的物质层面出发,对精神层面的东西进行颠覆消解,虽然获得了大多数读者的共鸣,却不可避免地走向了平庸,淡化了文学反抗平庸的功能。

The novel' Whether Cold or Hot, Better To Live ' by Chili gives a vivid realistic description of o-riginal state of small potatoes'life, but it simplifies the images of characters in some way. On the foundation of mat-terial aspect of real life, the author cast downs something in spirit aspect. Although gaining most readers'sympathet-ic response, her writing falls inevitably into mediocrity and weakens one of literary functions, with which literature can resist mediocrity.
