“傻子”的界限——评《尘埃落定》

The Defining of an “Idiot”——A Comment on Dust Settled Down

《尘埃落定》中“傻子”这一非常态人物形象及视角昭示着当代作家的文本自觉,也带来了当代小说叙事方式、叙事视角的转变。但是,“傻子”主题和叙事视角既可以与作家的创作倾向、创作追求、创作风格相契合,也会导致创作的随意性。对比班吉与土司二少爷,可以说明“傻子”视角的独特性和文学创作的严肃性。

The coneem for an ＂idiot＂ and the corresponding perspective show the text awareness of the contemporary writers and also bring about the turnabout in narrating modes and perspectives. But such an image and perspective can not only conform to the inclination, pursuit and style of the writer but also result in the writer＇s hberty with his literary creation. A contrast between William Faulkner＇s Benjy and the second son of Tusi might demonstrate the uniqueness of the ＂idiot＂ perspective and the solemnity in hterary creation.
