迎合与承当——莫言新历史小说中的大众趣味与精英意识

Catering and Bearing——Public Interests and Elite Consciousness in Moyan's New History Novels

莫言作为一位自觉以农民身份写作的作家,在其新历史小说中讲述的历史、塑造的形象大都以大众趣味为出发点,然而,寄寓其中的历史思考又以对中国历史、人性的关注与深入挖掘显现出精英文学的社会担当,具有显著的精英意识。这两个维度使其笔触跨越了雅俗分界,成功实践了跨界小说的存在。

Moyan, the famous writer in China who writes with the self-consciousness as a peasant, tells the history and shapes the images in his new history novels with public interests as the starting point, yet his novels are also elite literature in which he showed his social responsibility in his historical thinking, his attention and deep description to Chinese history and humanity with prominent elite consciousness. So the two dimensions enable his pen to come across both elegant and popular spheres,and this also successfully practices the existence of trans-boundary novels.
