隔膜·迷失·漂泊——试论魏微小说叙事的生存困境

Analyzing WEI Wei' Short Story' Narrative Living Paradox

魏微的小说以温和的叙事苦心经营生命历程、执著揭示生存困境,是对欲望时代生命存在本质的沉思与理解,也是对欲望时代生存方式的质疑。在这个意义上,可以将魏微的部分小说纳入存在主义的广义范畴。本文试论魏微富有誉声的三篇短篇小说:《父亲.来访》、《化妆》、《异乡,》以此为例看魏微小说对悖谬生存的描述,揭示作家创作的现实意义和独特的审美价值。

Wei Wei, by mild means of narration, takes great pain to build up the life course and devotes herself to explore the awkward living predicament in her novellas which are, in the Age of Lusts, the reflection and understanding of the very nature of life existence, and are the query of the ways of life. Therefore, some of her novellas can be fit into the domain of Existentialism in the broad sense. The author of this paper, by exemplifying the three novellas Father＇s Visit, Toilette, Alien Town that give her high reputation, tries to interpret the depiction of living paradox, and thus to reveal the actual meaning and particular aesthetic value of her literary creation.
