自我意识分裂的寓言——评李洱新作《你在哪》

An Analysis of Li Er's Where Are You

李洱的小说《你在哪》是一部寓言式的作品。它借寓言的形式演绎了人的自我意识在现代社会中的分裂,意识与潜意识分属两个空间不断地纠缠与矛盾,但自我意识最终还是被社会意识所同化,人避免不了被"卖身"的命运。寓言的形式和对人的存在的形而上思考,使得这篇小说具有了丰富的阐释性和思想深度,这也体现了李洱小说的生命力。

An allegoric novel, Li Er＇ s Where Are You narrates allegorically the abruption of man＇ s self -consciousness in modern society, the incessant entanglement and contradiction between consciousness and sub -consciousness of different domains, and the inevitable destiny of man＇s ＂being sold＂ following the ul- timate assimilation of self-consciousness by social consciousness. The allegoric form and the metaphysical meditation on man＇ s existence have equipped the novel with abundant interpretations and profound thought, which is also reflective of the vitality of Li Er＇ s novels.
