小小说:不止于“意料之外”

MINI-NOVEL:SEEKS MORE THAN “UNEXPECTED”

小小说追求出人意料的结尾已是多年来形成的共识,然而,在当代作家的创作实践中,已经大大发展了这一结构形态,优秀的小小说的追求已经不止于"意料之外",而是超越了"意料之外"。优秀的小小说作家追求的是诸如荒诞的真实、麻木的情感、含泪的微笑、欲哭却无泪等难以一言以蔽之的复杂、深刻、细微的东西。这些东西,是建立在作家的艺术修养、人生阅历、思想境界、文化格局等基础之上的,体现着小说的(而非故事的)智慧。

It’s a consensus that making an unexpected ending in a mini-novel for many years.In the creative practice of contemporary writers,however,this structural form has been greatly expanded.The pursuit of excellent mini-novel writers is not only“unexpected”,but beyond“unexpected”.What they seek nowadays is complex,deep and subtle things that can’t be covered in a word such as absurd truth,numb emotions,tearful smiles,crying but no tears and so on.These things are based on the writer’s artistic accomplishment,life experience,ideological realm,cultural pattern and so on.These things embody the wisdom of the novel rather than the story.
