城镇想象与地域传奇——刘宁小说印象

Town Imagination and Regional Legend——The Impression of Liu Ning’s Novels

作为山西文坛第五代的新锐作家之一,刘宁的创作毫无疑问是属于城镇文学一脉。城市经验书写不但是他的长项和兴趣所在,也是他的突破口。刘宁的小说属于镶嵌在城镇框架中的民间生存百态,在想象城镇小人物的传奇人生时,作者的乡土感情与现代理性形成一种叙事上的张力,造成一种内在的紧张与犀利,其硬汉风格给予读者有力的审美冲击。

As one of the new writers of the fifth generation in Shanxi literature circles,Liu Ning’s creation undoubtedly belongs to the town literature. The town experience writing is not only his strength and interest,but also his breakthrough. Liu Ning’s novels belong to the folk living conditions embedded in the town framework. When imaging the legendary life of the unimportant person in the town,the author’s local feeling and modern rationality form a narrative tension,resulting in an internal tension and sharpness,and his tough style gives readers a strong aesthetic impact.
