On the“Light/Shadow”and the“Fiction/Fact”in the Biographical Fiction Light and Shadow by Junichi Watanabe

渡边淳一一生创作多部可读性很强的传记小说,其中成名作《光与影》的成就最为突出。它以历史人物寺内正毅为根基,辅以合理的想象与虚构,成功塑造了一个反“影”为“光”、以“虚”为“实”的小人物传主小武敬介。渡边淳一在传记小说的虚构情节中巧妙运用“光影”与“虚实”,对小人物传记写作具有一定的探索意义。

Junichi Watanabe is prestigious for a number of intriguing biographical fictions,the most outstanding of which is his masterpiece Light and Shadow.Kyosuke Kobu,the biographee who converts shadow into light and regards fiction as fact,is successfully depicted with reasonable imagination and fiction on the basis of the historical personage Masatake Terauchi.Watanabe’s brilliant manipulation of the“light/shadow”and the“fiction/fact”in the biographical fiction is a prime example of exploring the biographical writing of a nobody.
