另类的现实主义——君特·格拉斯写作风格面面观

The Weird Realism——About the Varied Literary Styles of Günter Grass

德国战后重要作家君特·格拉斯的写作风格颇难界定。他热衷于使用互文手法,似乎跟上了后现代潮流;他的作品怪诞离奇、晦涩难懂,继承了表现主义的衣钵;他的作品中不乏童话套语、童话形象和神奇色彩,颇具浪漫派遗风。然而归根结底,格拉斯是个另类的现实主义作家,他绝非刻意追求矫揉花哨的形式与语言,而是寻求内容与形式的最佳结合,通过对文学传统的继承与创新,用夸张、想象和文学游戏等复杂的文学手法深刻地表现现实、批评现实,担负起作家的社会责任。

It is hard to classify Günter Grass,who is probably the most important German author after the war,into any specific literary category due to his varied styles.He is enthusiastic about literary plays with intertextuality,which makes him a pioneer of postmodernism;his works are often grotesque,which makes him a successor of expressionists;he favours elements of fairy tales,just as romanticists do;however,he always cares about the reality.In order to shoulder his social responsibility as an author,Grass exposes the harsh reality and criticizes it with exaggeration,phantasy and literary plays.
