让历史从一次寻找开始——评范小青长篇小说《我的名字叫王村》

Let History Start from a Search——On Fan Xiaoqing's Novel My Name Is Wang Cun

范小青的小说一向贴近社会现实,关注普通人生和生存境况的变化,尤其注重以朴实和质感的文字表现普通人的精神世界,从而呈现出独特的艺术品格。长篇小说《我的名字叫王村》的叙事层次由"一个人"、"一种寻找"和"一段历史"三个部分组成。"弟弟"这一角色的复杂性和丰富性及其与环境的冲突,为小说叙事形成强烈的艺术张力提供了可能;寻找"弟弟"是一个充满隐喻和象征的行动,展现出掩藏在日常生活之中的种种困惑和荒谬;在对历史的关注中,小说以"王村"为缩影描绘出一段历史变迁的复杂图景。三个层次由表及里,使这部小说简约而丰富、精致而宽阔,呈现出一种动人心弦的艺术力量和熠熠生辉的艺术魅力。该部小说对于范小青的创作具有重要意义,对于当下的长篇小说创作也具有某种启示意义。
