幸福的期待与文学的理想——评姜贻斌长篇小说《火鲤鱼》

Happy Expectation and Literature Ideal——Review of Jiang Yibin's Long Novel The Fire Carp

姜贻斌是文学湘军中一个特色鲜明的作家。他坚持草根叙事,聚焦小人物的日常生活,以细腻的笔触伸入社会的细小事件,凸显现实的冷酷和沉重。与此前的创作相比,其长篇新作《火鲤鱼》透露出更温驯、更柔和、更温馨的基调,尽管仍然有残酷叙事,但残酷中有亮色,有温暖;尽管仍旧有尖利,有撕裂,但不再直接,不再那么疼痛。作为一个内心极为敏感的作家,姜贻斌不断运用幻觉,不仅将幻觉的功能放大,而且将放大了的幻觉反复出现在文本的细节处,使读者产生了幸福的期望,也使文学彰显了更高的理想。

Jiang Yibin is a distinctive literary writer in Hunan literature. He insisted on narrative about grassroots and focused on grassroots’ s daily lives. In his novels,the cold and heavy reality was highlighted by stretching the delicate strokes to tiny community events. The Fire Carp seems more gentle,softer and more intimate. Although there are still sharp,tearing in The Fire Carp,it’s not so painful and direct. As a sensitive writer,Jiang Yibin repeatedly uses the illusion. He not only magnifies the features of illusion,but also amplifies illusion in the details of his novel,which always make readers engender happy expectations and demonstrates the higher ideals in literature simultaneously.
