双雪涛《平原上的摩西》中的东北叙事

The Northeast Narrative in Moses on the Plain by Shuang Xuetao

当代作家双雪涛的中篇小说《平原上的摩西》是其最具代表性的作品之一。小说以作家亲身经历的中国社会大变革为背景,以铁西区作为小说的叙述空间,反映了工厂解体后人们的生存困境。多视角互文叙事的表现手法将碎片化的历史拼凑成了历史的必然,在众声喧哗中,两代人的声音尤其突出,父辈反抗却缺乏勇气,子辈叛逆却继承父辈。宗教式的隐喻贯穿小说的内容、主题及写作要求,后现代语境下的拯救者不再是唯一的英雄摩西,而是每一个普通人。

Moses on the Plain is one of the masterpieces by contemporary writer Shuang Xuetao. The novel takes the writer’s personal experience of the great social changes in China as the background, and Tiexi District as the narrative space, reflecting the living plight of people after the disintegration of the factory. The multi-perspective intertextual narrative presentation pieces together the fragmented history into a historical inevitability. The voices of two generations are particularly prominent in the midst of the clamour, the fathers rebelling but lacking courage, the sons rebelling but inheriting from their fathers. Religious metaphors permeate the content, the theme and writing demands, and the saviour in the postmodern context is no longer the only hero, Moses, but every ordinary person.
