“轻描淡写”的苦命人——读贾平凹的小说《带灯》

The Figures with Misfortune in the Novel——The Lantern Bearer by Jia Pingwa

小说《带灯》中浓烈的自然性叙事内涵包括自然风景的描写与人物自然性的寓意都暗示了主人公带灯同底层生活的农民一样,他们都属于社会的边缘人、苦命人,如同大自然的一草一木有着无法逃避和抗拒的悲剧命运。此外,贾平凹在《带灯》中力求写作形式结构的创新,这不仅是作家迎合读者的创作心理,更是小说丰富的题材内容和作者所要表达的思想内涵的本体要求。作品看似"轻描淡写"的叙事内容与叙事技法,都在一定程度上凸显了秦岭山区农民日常生活化的在世生存现状。

The strong narrative connotation of nature in the novel The Lantern Bearer,including the description of natural scenery and the moral of the character’s naturalness,implies that the protagonist Ying,who is a marginal person and a desperate person in the society,likes the peasants living at the bottom. And they all belong to the marginal and desperate people of the society. They have tragic fates that cannot be avoided and resisted,liking the plants and trees of nature. In addition,the writer,Jia Pingwa strives to innovate the form and structure of writing in The Lantern Bearer,which is not only the writer's creative cater to the readers’psychology,but also the noumenon requirement of the rich subject matters and the complex thought’s connotations that the author wants to express. The narrative contents and narrative techniques of the novel,which seem to be touched on lightly,highlight the living status of farmers in Qinling Mountains in daily life to a certain extent.
