“同声”的失语与“指路石”的错位——从书评的现状看文坛的堕落

Lack Fidelity of The Similar Voice and The Navigation Mark in Disorder——watching the degenerate of the literary arena from the situation about book review

书评应是"读者的良友"与"作者的诤友",但当前良莠不齐、泥沙俱下的书评状况令人堪忧:一是纯粹商业功利化的广告式写作;二是为私谊无原则地对作品极尽拔高之能;三是沦为泄私愤相互公讦的口水。因而书评不仅丧失了服务于读者的信息功能、中介功能、导读功能等,而且在客观上也为文坛的堕落推波助澜。这不能不引起我们足够的重视。

The book review should be all readers＇ good friends and the authors＇ friends who will give forthright admonition. But now it is not satisfied： at first it becomes advertisement works ; second almost of them are songs of praise for authors ; at last it becomes the weapon to attack each other. Not only it lost its action for readers, but also adding fuel to the flames of the literary arena. We must pay attention to it.
