成长主题与石一枫小说的现实表象问题

The Theme of Bildung and the Representation of Reality in Shi Yifeng’s Novels

石一枫的小说在最近几年有比较明显的变化,质地日趋坚硬,气势渐显恢弘,但若从小说主人公与现实的关系而论,自有其一以贯之的脉络,他小说中的现实都是精神史意义上的现实。而这也决定了他的小说,虽面对的是广阔的现实,落脚点却在个人的精神成长上。这样一种宽视域与窄聚焦之间的内在张力,某种程度上正是他的小说的独特价值和魅力之所在。

Obvious changes can be observed from Shi Yifeng’s novels in recent years,such as the solid texture and the grander momentum and scale.However,what remains unchanged and consistent in his novel writing is his handling of the relationship between the protagonist and the reality.The reality in his novels can be read as the reality in the sense of spiritual history.This also determines that his novels always take the individual bildung as a means of grappling with the broader reality.To a certain extent,the idiosyncratic significance and charm of his novel originate from this tension between the narrow focus and wide sight.
