神而不迷,虚而不幻——论《盐道》的魔幻现实主义特征

Both Mysterious and Reality: Style of Magic Realism Characteristics of “Salt Road”

李春平的长篇小说《盐道》是一部转型之作。作者放弃以往的都市情感和现行官场取材,而将叙事的笔触伸向百年前的秦巴山区,以历史遗迹镇坪古盐道为依托,凭借超乎寻常的文学想象将奇异的事象、诡异的巫术和意味深永的民间传说贯穿在小说叙事中,为我们尽显了清末民初秦巴山区盐背子们真实的苦乐生活和坚韧顽强的精神风貌。这不仅是李春平对生活在陕南山区的普通老百姓命运深切关注的体现,也是作者对我们民族历史的沉着思考和对民俗文化的努力坚守与传承。
