被“围观”的写作--论莫言小说集《晚熟的人》

The“Surrounded”Writing --On Mo Yan’s Collection of Novels A Late Bloomer

莫言获得诺贝尔文学奖,既是一场瞩目的文学事件,也引发了商业资本的角逐,在网络媒介与市场的操作下,“莫言”成为极具象征资本的“品牌”。这使得很长一段时间,莫言的文学创作与私人生活都处于被“围观”的状态。《晚熟的人》是莫言自2012年获得“诺奖”后出版的第一部短篇小说集,这部小说集依旧体现着莫言出色的叙事能力,但较之此前的作品,也存在诸多缺陷,主要表现在小说中作为叙事者“我”的主体性反思的弱化、充满匠气的情节营构、过分迷恋于“讲故事”而导致的空洞化、传奇化倾向。

Mo Yan won the“Nobel Prize”,which is not only an eye-catching literary event,but also aroused competition in the capital market.Under the operation of network media and capital,“Mo Yan”has become a brand that symbolizes capital.For a long time,Mo Yan’s literary creation and private life were in a state of being“surrounded”.A Late Bloomer is the first collection of short stories published by Mo Yan since he won the Nobel Prize in 2012.This collection of novels still continues Mo Yan’s excellent narrative ability,but compared with previous works,there are also many shortcomings.It is mainly manifested in the weakening of the subjective reflection of“I”as the narrator in the novel,the ingenious plot structure,and the empty legendization tendency caused by being overly obsessed with“storytelling”.
