论王跃文及其中短篇小说集《漫水》

On Wang Yuewen's Collection of Short Stories Manshui

王跃文一直被称为官场小说第一人,其实是一种误读。王跃文的小说创作既包括官场小说,也有乡土小说,尤其是近期中短篇小说集《漫水》的出版,更显示出王跃文乡土小说创作的实绩。就官场小说来说,王跃文的创作无论是思想内涵还是审美艺术均明显高于时下流行的其它官场小说,并且达到优秀政治小说的高度。《漫水》则承接五四以来乡土文学的传统,以鲜明的现代意识与忧患意识对现代文明是如何破坏和影响传统乡村文明进行了深刻揭示,尤其是对乡亲们的美好人性的书写以及对压抑人性破坏人性的时代、政治、历史、文化等等作出了有力批判。因此,对王跃文及其小说创作进行全面认识与把握,不仅可以避免对其误读,某种意义上也具有一定文学史意义。
