愁悯下的温暖,荒诞中的真诚——论范子平的小小说创作

Compassionate Warmness,Fantastic Sincerity——On Fan Ziping's Mini-Novels

范子平以其20多年的小小说创作经历,形成了质朴淡远、广阔之中见宁静与和谐的风格。从他的小小说集《人生故事》(作家出版社2004年版)来看,不论是"涉及官场"的斑斓,还是"生活百味"的酸辛,抑或是"文革轶事"的荒诞,都能在脉脉的叙事中,使人感受到正义的力量和道德的敬畏,显示出愁悯与荒诞后面的温情与真诚,而小小说的思想张力和艺术审美价值就在这温情与真诚中自然而然地溢现出来。

The course of creation of his mini - novels over the past 20 - odd years has enabled Fan Ziping to shape his own style that demonstrates calmness and harmony in simple life, high ideals and broadness. In his collection of mini -novels Stories from Life （published by Writers＇Press in 2004） whether the colorfulness of ＂Involving officialdom＂ or the sadness of ＂tastes of life＂ or the fantasy of ＂anecdotes of the cultural revolution＂ emotionally described each shows warm feelings and sincerity behind compassion and fantasy and impress people by the strength of justice and morality. The strength of thinking and the aesthetic value of the mini - novels are naturally revealed in the warm feehngs and sincerity.
