苏童与博尔赫斯

Su Tong and Borges

苏童在创作起步时就接受了博尔赫斯的影响;后者特有的艺术观深深植入到苏童的文学观念中,并一直支配着他对文学的理解。一直以来很多人认为苏童在1990年代初就告别先锋,转向了现实主义,但这很大程度上是一个误识。苏童在创作上虽然有几把刷子,但是他骨子里仍然是一个具有后现代特点的作家。其1990年代以来的作品中仍然能看到博尔赫斯影响的鲜明印记。离开博尔赫斯,对苏童的理解就一定是不完整的。

In his initial phase of fiction creation,Su Tong was influenced by Borges,whose unique concept of art has been deeply implanted into Su Tong＇s literary concept and has always dominated his understanding of literature.Many people have always believed that Su Tong left vangard literature and turned to realism in the early 1990s,which is largely erroneous.Although Su Tong has some flair for novel creation,he is still,in essence,a postmodern writer,as the imprint of Borges can be clearly discerned in Su Tong＇s works since the 1990s,for the understanding of Su Tong is not complete without any consideration of Borges.
