舍不得诅咒——简评《萧萧》

Unwilling to Curse——Comment on the Novel "Xiaoxiao"

《萧萧》是沈从文先生用文字为音符奏出的温馨背后满怀忧伤的田园挽歌。田园天堂一般,令人难舍,但它老了,朽了,又值得诅咒。而萧萧只是作家特立的一个理想。

The novel ＂ Xiaoxiao＂, a love tragedy by Shen Congwen, is a countryside elegy behind warmth, composed with words instead of musical notes. In it, countryside is a paradise unwilling to abandon, while aged and degenerated to curse. Xiaoxiao is but an ideal of the author.
