当代文学如何打破宿命之“命”——葛亮小说论

How Contemporary Literature Breaks the "Fate" of Fate——On Ge Liang’s Novels

葛亮小说中具有强烈的宿命色彩,主要呈现为两种情形:一是血缘决定的出身论,二是时代环境下的人物生存困境。宿命的难以摆脱成为小说中人物的主要困境,而日常生活的温情和救赎者的出场弥补了宿命的悲凉。葛亮试图通过反叛者的挑战超越根深蒂固的宿命思想,但挑战的失败说明了宿命的强大。在宿命的观望姿态下平稳的生活,或许是葛亮给出的关于宿命的解药。必须指出的是,作为当代作家,葛亮把故事情节和谜底归结为宿命是不够的,而应以更大的勇气去质问、抗拒和挑战“宿命”。这是葛亮在以后创作中所需要面临的新挑战,也是一个优秀小说家从传统叙事走向现代叙事、从平庸迈向经典的必经之路。

Ge Liang’s novels have a unique color of destiny, which mainly presents two situations: one is the origin theory determined by blood, and the other is the characters’ survival dilemma under the environment of the times. It is difficult to get rid of the fate of being the main predicament of the characters in the novel, and the warmth of daily life and the appearance of the redeemer make up for the sadness of fate. Ge Liang tried to transcend the deep-rooted fatalism through the challenge of the rebels, but the failure of the challenge shows the power of fate. Living a stable life under the fateful wait-and-see attitude may be the antidote to fate given by Ge Liang. It must be pointed out that, as a contemporary writer, it is not enough for Ge Liang to attribute the plot and the answer to fate, but to question, resist and challenge "fate" with greater courage.This is a new challenge that Ge Liang will face in his future creation, and it is also the only way for an excellent novelist to move from traditional narrative to modern narrative, from mediocrity to classic.
