试论陈丹燕的“非虚构写作”

A Sketch of the Developments of New Historical Novels Research

陈丹燕的"非虚构写作"经历了一个从不自觉到自觉的过程。从写作方式和作品风貌来考量,青少年题材的创作阶段是传统的小说写法;欧洲游历系列是正统的随笔散文;上海城市系列真正开启"非虚构写作"之路,并逐渐形成其诗性质感、史料研究与新闻采访相融合的写作方式和作品风貌;近年的长篇新作又显示出她在人事的历史真实与小说艺术的虚构本质之间寻求平衡的探索努力。陈丹燕从自我身份的焦虑出发,展开对上海这座城市的认知与探寻。她三十年创作历程中的推动力来自于对自我的执着,以及这个自我伴随时代走向丰盈的必然。

Cheng Danyan”s“nonfictional writing＆quot;underwent a transition from unconsciousness to consciousness. Judging from her writing style and writing features,the novels in her teens are traditional novels if their themes are taken into consideration,while the series of works about her travels to Europe are genuinely casual literary sketches and essays.It was the Shanghai city series that really opened the path for her non-fictional writings,and her writing style and writing features gradually came into being：her works developed some poetic quality integrating her studies of historical materials and news interviews.In her latest works of recent years,on the other hand,she has displayed her researching efforts in achieving a balance between historical facts of human matters and the very essence of fic-tional arts.From worries and anxieties about her own self-identity,Chen has carried out her understanding search about this city.The driving force for her literary creation over the past thirty years comes from her persistent de-mands on her self so it is inevitable for her to becoming ever prolific in her writings with the development of time.
