乡土、革命与“大地”的芬芳——评陶少鸿长篇小说《大地芬芳》

On Localism,Revolution and the Fragrance of the Earth——Comments on the novel The Fragrance of the Earth by Tao Shaohong

《大地芬芳》是湖南作家陶少鸿背离了潮流性的写作方式而成就的一部大作品。作品抛弃了各种理念的束缚和缠绕,也没有采用过多繁复的技巧,以最接近小说原初本质的方式书写了一系列好看的人生故事;在这些故事的铺陈与展开中,土地与革命,每个人不同的人生道路,带着他们各自的丰富性甚至是矛盾性,如其所是地存在着,一个坚实的非常富有质感的大地也就在文本中铺展了开来。小说中出现了大量当下乡土小说中非常稀缺的乡土风景的描写,这些风景中蕴含的饱满生命气息和宁静动感,构成了坚实大地上流转不息的芬芳,整部小说具有了一种既厚重又灵动的奇妙韵味。

The Fragrance of the Earth, written by a Hunan writer Tao Shaohong, is an outstanding works which is different from the popular native writing style. This novel, getting away from kinds of conception bound, did not use complicated techniques but contains a series of attractive stories which close to the original essence of writing. In the process of elaborating the stories, a vivid image of solid land, existing as that the land and the revolution, as well as the different life paths of everyone~ with its receptive diversity even contradiction, is shown in the no- vel. An amount of description of local landscape, which is full of life vitality and the quiet dynamism but scare in current writing, constitute the fluttering fragrance of the solid land in Tao＇s novel which make the whole novel a kind of special dignified and lithe charming.
