以文学整理世界与人心——苏童新论

A New Perspective on SU Tong's Literary Works:Aim to Transform the World and Common Humanity with Literature

作为久负盛名的当代作家,苏童的创作以强烈的主体意识、敏锐的人性探索热情、高超的想象力与叙事技巧独树一帜。在思想趋向上,苏童通过对现实和历史本质性因素的深刻揭示挖掘生存的深渊,呈现出深切的象征意义。就叙事策略而言,苏童用充盈着古典审美韵味的文笔,对身处历史重大转折或者普通日常生活中的人及其现实历史关系进行了最大限度的虚构与开掘,对被欲望裹挟碾压的蒙昧迷茫的史前情状进行了鲜活淋漓的描摹与重构。他的文本世界在诗与思之间形成强大的张力场,呈现出黑暗人性开掘与抒情的文笔高度结合的审美品格和混沌美学效果。从创作的动机和意义来说,苏童以一以贯之的虚构热情和南方想象张扬了自由的审美精神,以个体生命由激情、萎靡到枯竭的境遇书写赢得了自由叙事的骄傲,以残酷人性和悲剧宿命的个性化演绎还原了表象世界深潜的动能与根基。而这一切最终通往以文学整理世界与人心的价值旨归。
