浅谈《扶桑》的叙事艺术

Analysis on narrative art of Fu Sang

严歌苓的小说《扶桑》令人着迷,并非因为小说故事本身,而是由该小说的叙事艺术造就的,这主要表现在以下三个方面:以第三人称为主、第一和第二人称为辅的多种人称复合叙事;蒙太奇式叙事——场面拼接叙述和特写镜头式叙事;以刻意多次暴露创作痕迹的元叙事追求历史化叙事。

Fu Sang,a novel written by Yan Geling,attributes its fascination to its narrative art rather than the story itself.It is mainly represented in following three aspects:First,multiple person compounded narration gives priority to the third person with the supplement of the first and second person.Second,montage style narration means a combination of scenes,narration and close-up views.Third,meta-narration characterized by deliberate exposure of the traces of creation pursues historical narration.
