“真实”的战争与战争的“真实”——试论房伟的抗战历史小说创作

"Real" War and "Real" of War:On Fang Wei's Creation of Historical Novels of the Anti-Japanese War

"70后"学者作家房伟近年创作的若干抗战题材短篇小说具有鲜明的时代特征:一是通过小说创作体现当代青年作家、学者对于战争历史与文学关系的学理思考;二是其小说突破了文学如何描写"真实"战争的传统观念拘囿,在题材择取、人物塑造、情节设置、艺术表现等多方面体现了作家对于历史的偶然性、细节性和总体性关系的独到文学把握,反映了战争的"真实"。但也存在个别作品理性思考淹没文学审美、重动感表象轻内在蕴含的缺憾。

In recent years,several short stories on the theme of the War of Resistance against Japan by Fang Wei,a scholar writer of the Post-70s generation,have distinct characteristics of the times:firstly,they reflect the academic thinking of contemporary young writers and scholars on the relationship between the history of war and literature through novel creation;secondly,their novels break through the traditional concept of how literature describes the "real" war,showing the writer's unique literary grasp of the relationship among historical contingency,details and totality in presenting the "real" of war in terms of theme selection,character creation,plot setting and artistic expression.However,there are also some defects expressed in the form of emphasizing more rational thinking than aesthetic appreciation,more dynamic representation than intrinsic implication.
