《普宁》对纳博科夫文学游戏观的阐释

Illustration of Nabokov's Literary View of Game in Pnin

纳博科夫的文学游戏观体现在其"文学如游戏"的创作理念上。在他看来,文学与游戏具备共同的属性:虚构性和娱乐性;文学是一个魔法世界,作家是一个高明的魔法师,设计创造自己的魔法世界。因此,他的小说呈现出明显的游戏倾向,弥漫着一股戏谑的气息,具有浓厚的后现代魔幻色彩。小说《普宁》无论是在游戏场景的描写、文字游戏的把玩、戏仿的运用,还是在叙事手法方面,都充分体现了一种游戏精神和制谜意识,是对纳博科夫文学游戏观的阐释和实践。

Nabokov＇s literary view of game is mainly reflected in his creation concept,＂Literature is like a game＂.In his view,literature and game share common properties：fictionality and entertainment.Literature is a magic world,and a writer is an excellent magician who design and create his own magic world.Therefore,his novels present a distinct orientation of game,pervade a kind of sportive odor,and have a strong postmodern magic color.The novel Pninfully reflects a game spirit and mystery-making awareness in the description of game scene,the game of words,the use of parody and the narrative style.Hence,the novel can be regarded as an embodiment and implementation of Nabokov＇s view of literary game.
