边缘作者:汪曾祺与20世纪40年代后期文坛——以《绿猫》为中心

A Marginal Writer:Wang Zengqi and the Literary Circles in the Late 1940s--Centered on The Green Cat

《绿猫》是汪曾祺早年最具实验色彩的作品之一,长期以来都未受到重视,但这篇作品其实有着十分丰富的内涵和写作背景。要言之,《绿猫》不仅是青年汪曾祺寂寞和苦闷的产物,也是他对自己多年来执着的“文学与人生”主题的一次报告,是他彼时创作观念与生命价值同构理想的一次倾吐。更值得注意的是,《绿猫》还寄寓了汪曾祺对20世纪40年代后期复杂文学生态的思考,隐藏着身处边缘的写作者在说与不说、写与不写以及如何写之间的焦虑和努力。

The Green Cat is one of Wang Zengqi’s most experimental works in his early years and has long been neglected,but it virtually has a rich connotation and writing background.In short,The Green Cat is not only the product of the loneliness and anguish of young Wang Zengqi,but also a report on his persistent theme of“literature and life”for many years as well as an expression of his isomorphic ideal of creation concept and life value at that time.More notably,The Green Cat also contains Wang Zengqi’s thinking on the complex literary ecology of the late 1940s,hiding the anxiety and efforts of a marginal writer between speaking and silence,writing and quitting writing as well as how to write,etc.
