贾平凹新作《老生》谈

On Jia Ping-wa's Laosheng

贾平凹的新作《老生》有两个突出的重点:一是英雄的消解,二是时间的停滞。前者是基于经典创作的压力而主动采取的悲剧性反抗,后者是源于现实的难以把握而被迫进行的涅槃式重生。二者共同指向的是作家在外力的重压下进行的负重式书写,并且引发了贾平凹整体创作过程中的价值取向游离,进而形成其内在的负重。这种负重的书写一方面凸显了当下作家创作的困境和突围的艰难,另一方面,以贾平凹为代表的优秀作家对负重式书写挑战的承接彰显了中国当代作家敢于正视现实的勇气和反抗绝望的悲剧性精神。

Jia Ping-wa＇s Laosheng has two prominent focuses： one is the dispelling of the hero, the other is the stagnation of time. The former is based on the creation of the classic pressure which evokes tragic resistance. The latter originates from the difficult grasp of reality which stimulates the nirvana rebirth. These two points to the author＇s writing under the weight of the external force. Jia Pingwa is the representative of the outstanding writer who has the courage to face the reality and the tragic spirit of resistance.
