重读《菉竹山房》——发生于1930年代的多重对话

Rereading "Lu Zhu Lodge"——Multiple Dialogues in 1930s

著名左翼作家吴组缃的经典短篇小说《菉竹山房》随1930年代新文学欲望抒写之流,借主人公的偷窥行为凸显现代人尤其是女性的生命困境,传达了创作者对个体生命遭际的深刻思量,批判视野直达现代中国城与乡。该作虽未彻底脱离刻板借鉴古典传奇文学叙事之弊,但又能极富创见地在古典模式中领起现代人生困境,使小说在传统与现代之间保持既分裂又平衡的叙事面相。而趣味主义格调、"风景之发现"、欲望主题和心理分析手法等艺术创造丰富了新文学作家的生命体验与文学实践,构成了新文学现代性展开的另一种景象。

The well-known left-wing writer Wu Zuxiangs classic short story ＂Lu Zhu Lodge＂, fol- lowing the new literary trend of the 1930s to write desire,highlights the life predicaments of mod- ern people, especially women, by depicting the peeping behavior of the protagonist. It conveys the author＇s profound thought on individual＇s life vicissitude with the criticism directed right against the modern Chinese city and countryside. Though it doesn＇t completely cast off rigid romance nar- rative tradition,it creatively portrays modern life vicissitude in a classical model, making the nar- rative of the novel both divided and balanced between the tradition and the modern. The interest doctrine ＂discovery of the landscape＂, the desire theme and psychological analysis enrich the life experience and literary practice of the new literature writer,unfolding a different scene of new lit- erature modernity.
