一则个人和民族的成长寓言——论《我是我的神》的成长叙事

On the Growth Narrative of I Am My God

邓一光的长篇小说《我是我的神》以一种久违了的英雄主义情怀再现了一个关于主体的寻找和重建的神话。作为一部中国式的成长小说,《我是我的神》通过小说中个人的成长再现了主体的生成史。在寓言的意义上,这部关于主体的生成的文本同时又可以看作是一则关于民族的成长寓言,它是中国作为一个现代民族国家成长史的艺术展现。新的历史认同和理想主义是这部小说成长叙事的重要精神支撑。

Deng Yiguang’s novel I Am My God reproduces a myth about the pursuit and reconstruction of a person by way of long-lost feelings of heroism.As a Chinese novel of growth,I Am My God represents the history of birth and development of a person through his / her personal growth;and allegorically,the novel can also be considered an allegory on the national growth,for it is the artistic representation of China’s history of growth as a modern nation and state;while new identity of history and idealism are major spiritual supports for the growth narrative of the novel.
