戴来中短篇小说论

Discuss on Dai Lai's Novelette and Short Stories

戴来的中短篇小说,多为出色篇章,颇具叙事的自觉、艺术自觉、精神向度和思想深度。作家以感性与智性兼具的笔触,截取生活画面,在现代社会林林总总的生活故事和俗世生存中,窥见人物内心和彼此之间的情感纠葛、生存焦虑与精神难题,看似写的是小人物,笔下装的却是"大时代"。戴来以中短篇小说反映社会问题和人的精神难题的能力,是非同寻常的,兼具深度和力度。她的中短篇小说既与社会问题新闻素材相关联,又远远超出并且避免了新闻素材改编成故事容易落入的窠臼,以其杰出叙事的才华和艺术自觉力,引领读者穿越新闻消息的层面,抵达文学的层面。写实能力之外,戴来虚构故事的能力和叙事的自觉性也同样出色。
