朱晓平知青小说创作的艺术风格

On the Artistic Style of Zhu Xiaoping's School Graduate Novels

为农民而写、冷峻的现实主义态度、倾听极端环境下的生命哀歌、崇尚和批判的双重尺度是朱晓平知青小说创作中鲜明的艺术风格。但为农民而写的创作思想使他的知青小说有非知青化的倾向,从《私刑》后演变为地道的乡土小说。崇尚与批判的双重尺度使作品中塑造的人物形象具有丰富的审美向度,使作品所要表达的主题更加深刻有力。但崇尚削弱了批判的力量,造成贫穷、愚昧、落后、苦难的原因必须得到最彻底的反思和批判。

The artistic style of Zhu Xiaoping in his school graduate novels is marked by his concern for farmers, his cool realistic attitude, his attentive listening to the misery of people under extreme circumstances, and his double criteria of veneration and criticism. However, Zhu Xiaoping＇s school graduate novels have di- gressed from the genre under the impact of his thought of writing for farmers, thereby having turned into gen- uine local novels ever since The Lynch. Thanks to the dual criteria of veneration and criticism, characters in his novels can be appreciated from different dimensions and themes become more profound and convincing; but veneration weakens criticism. As such, the causes for poverty, ignorance, backwardness and misery must be reflected upon and criticized thoroughly.
