“乌托邦爱情”的现实生存——论北村小说《玛卓的爱情》、《鸟》中的诗人形象

A Real Existence of Utopian Love——On the Image of the Poet in Bei Cun’s Novels of Mazhuo’s Love and the Bird

北村是中国唯一公开皈依基督教的作家,他在90年代创作了一系列的诗人形象。这些诗人身上明显带有作者本人的影子。通过对《玛卓的爱情》和《鸟》中的诗人形象分析比较可以发现,小说人物所遭遇到的困惑和挣扎也是作者面对现实的狐疑和思索。在北村的理念中,爱情和艺术都是脆弱的,人类必须通过皈依宗教才能获得对自我的救赎。

Bei Cun is the only writer in China who openly converts to Christianity. In 1990s he created a series of images of a poet which betray the writer himself. An analytical comparison of images of the poet in Zhuo Ma＇s Love and The Bird shows that the puzzles and struggles of the characters in novels are also the hesitations and speculations of the author. According to the ideology of Bei Cun, both love and art are frail, and man can only attain salvation through converting to religion.
