一部出现偏差的城市化批判小说——论阎连科的《炸裂志》

A Biased Novel in Criticism of Urbanization: on Yan Lianke's Zha Lie Zhi(A Record of Drastic Changes)

阎连科的长篇小说《炸裂志》以炸裂村孔、朱两家的恩怨仇恨为线索,揭示炸裂村在城市化进程中涌现的诸多社会问题。作家醉心于神实主义叙事,仅从脑海中的某些观念出发,编织有违真实生活逻辑的荒诞故事,使小说呈现"神而不实"的样貌。作家的本意是批判中国乡村城市化进程中的某些问题,却因"用力过猛"而几乎全盘否定了城市化,因醉心"神实"而脱离现实,因匆忙赶写而忽视叙事艺术,使小说成为主观概念性强而现实性弱、情节结构简单、叙事描写粗糙、人物呆板扁平的粗糙之作。《炸裂志》是一部出现偏差的城市化批判小说。

Yan Lianke＇s latest novel,Zha Lie Zhi（ A Record of Drastic Changes） begins with the enmity between Kong family and Zhu family in Zha Lie village,revealing several social shortcomings which occur during the process of urbanization. Being addicted to surrealism,Yan Lianke only circles around some of his ideas,and creates absurd stories against life logic,which makes Zha Lie Zhi a surreal novel. Despite his real intention of criticizing some shortcomings of urbanization,Yan Lianke has almost simply denied the process of urbanization,separated from reality as addicted to surrealism,and neglected art of narrative strategies for writing in a hurry. As a result,Zha Lie Zhi becomes a biased novel in the criticism of urbanization,which has strong personal ideas,simple story structure,rough descriptions and rigid characters.
