撬开历史的褶皱——格拉斯笔下的二战与德国

Seeing through Historical Drapes: World War II in Glass' s Writings and Germany

在德国作家中,没有哪位像君特·格拉斯这样专注于二战前后的德国和德国人的生活,固执而持续地反思这场该诅咒的战争和它对德国的影响。他要的是追问、审视、梳理和强烈的警惕,他要的是把忽略的、遮掩的、回避的、令人羞愧的、缄默着的部分放置在显微镜下,将它用艺术的方式放大,成为不得不面对、不得不回答的问题。写作中的君特·格拉斯充当着人类的神经末梢,他的写作专注于问题和问题的核心,通过对一个个"个人"的考察来完成对历史的象征性追问。

Among German writers, there is no one like Gunter Grass who has focused on German people＇s lives before and after the Second World War in Germany, and stubbornly and continuously reflected on the curse-worthy war and its impact on Germany. What he wants is to ask, to examine, to analyze and to strongly keep alert, and to place those that have been ignored, hiden, avoided, humiliated and keeping silent under a microscope to amplify them in artistic ways so that they must be faced and answered. In his writing, Gunter Grass acts as human nerve endings by focusing on the problem and the core of the problem, by completing the symbolic inquiry of history through the investigation of every ＂individual＂.
