卡夫卡对中国新时期小说的启示和意义

Kafka’s Revelation and Meaning for Chinese Novels in the New Period

卡夫卡对中国新时期小说有着深刻而持久的影响,这种影响首先表现为小说观念的更新和变革,其次表现为小说手法的扩展和丰富,最后卡夫卡给中国小说家提供一批可以借鉴和模仿的小说样本。中国新时期小说家之所以特别认同和钦佩卡夫卡,首先是因为他创造了一个荒诞而又真实的艺术世界,其次是因为他是一个普通而又独立特行的业余作家,最后是因为卡夫卡的传统是中国作家既陌生又熟悉的传统。

Kafka influenced Chinese new period novels profoundly. The influences are： evoking the reformation of novel ideas, enriching the novel methods, and giving Chinese novelists some samples for reference. The reasons why Chinese new period novelists admired and agreed with Kafka are that he created an absurd and realistic art world; he was an ordinary and maverick amateur writer and his tradition is both strange and familiar to Chinese writers.
