《生死疲劳》:对民间与历史的另一种把握

Fatigue of Life and Death: Alternative Review on Folk and History

莫言的新作《生死疲劳》延续了他一贯的民间写作立场与历史意识,却采取了一种戏剧化与狂欢化的方式来审视民间社会与历史,看到了民间社会在主流政治入侵后所发生的改变与异化,以及荒诞的历史表面背后所折射出的巨大悲剧。小说以荒诞化与戏剧化的方式来审视民间与历史的同时,也把复杂的人性放在了历史情势下来审视,使得作品在多维度与多层面上呈现出了丰厚的意蕴。

In his latest work of Fatigue of Life and Death, Mo Yan continues to hold his writing position of folk and historical awareness, but he has taken a kind of dramatic and absurd way to carefully inspect the folk society and history. The book depicts the change and dissimilation of folk society caused by the mainstream politics invasion, along with the enormous tragedy behind the absurdity history. A rich artistic implication is multi-dimensionally reflected by inspecting the complexity of human nature in the historical situation through an absurd and dramatic way.
