“戏”说人生——陈彦《装台》的一种解读

Life Is a Drama—An Interpretation to Chen Yan's Zhuang Tai

《装台》是戏剧家陈彦的第二部小说,从这部作品中,能够看到作者从戏剧艺术到小说艺术的继承与突破。比起小说《西京故事》,作品有更紧凑的戏剧冲突,以装台为叙述基础,以刁顺子作为矛盾冲突的核心,构筑冲突迭生的戏剧结构;同时,作者通过刁顺子"如戏"人生的演绎,真实呈现了装台人的生存现状,在叙写小人物卑微的存在现实的同时,注入了强烈的社会批判意识。

Zhuang Tai is dramatist Chen Yan＇s second novel, which expresses the author＇s inheritance and breakthrough form drama to novel art. Contrasting with Xijing Story, this novel has a more compact drama conflict based on the narration of setting the stage and considers Diao Shunzi as the core of the conflict to build the drama structure of conflict overlap. At the same time, the author presents man＇s survival situation through Diao Shunzi＇s life as the interpretation of the play and shows a strong social critical consciousness while describing the existence of humble little man.
