历史延展中的人性呈现——谈田中禾长篇小说《模糊》中的人性叙述

The Representation of Human Nature in the Extension of History——On the Narration of Human Nature in Tian Zhonghe’s Novel Vague

田中禾的长篇新作《模糊》采用故事中套故事的叙事模式,讲述了一个年轻人在“极左”年代的往事。小说看上去写的是历史,但是更多的却想表达对人性的反思。借助这种独特的文本结构方式,小说拉开了历史距离,让人性在一个更为长久的历史空间中呈现,从而呈现出人性的复杂,也呈现了环境、话语等对个体生命的巨大影响。

Tian Zhonghe’s new novel Vague adopts the narrative mode of story within story,telling the story of a young man in the era of“extreme-left”.The novel seems to write about history,but it wants to express reflection on human nature more.With the help of this unique text structure,the novel opens up the historical distance and allows human nature to be presented in a longer historical space,thus presenting the complexity of human nature as well as the great influence of environment and discourse on individual people.
