乡村的自语——论莫言小说创作的精神及意义

On the Spirit and Significance of Mo Yan's Novels

莫言的小说大都以乡村为题材,他以较明确的乡村自我立场,表现了乡村的深层文化精神。莫言展示乡村精神的两个典型意象是苦难和幻想,叙述方法上也融入了较多的乡村文化特征,体现出乡村自语的精神姿态。莫言的乡村书写与其生活经历、文化姿态有深刻的关联,也有充分的文学史意义,但一些作品中也存在着浮浅和炫奇的缺陷。

Mo Yan＇ s novels are based on the countryside. He shows his cultural spirit deeply by his clear selfcountry standpoints. The typical imagoes shown by Mo Yan are tribulation and fantasy. The country culture melts into the narration. What is more, this shows the stance of country soliloquy. The country narration is related closely to his life experience and culture stance, which has enough meaning in cultural history. However, there are flaws in some of his novels, like shallowness and flaunt.
