南洋爱与死:黎紫书小说的在地经验与景观书写

Love and Death in Nanyang: Local Experience and Landscape Writing in the Fiction of Lim Pow Leng

近年来,黎紫书以其瞩目的文学实绩成为马华文学的代表作家,她的小说具有浓厚的个人风格和文化标识,深深地烙印着她所生所长的大马本土风情。身为大马华人,在地经验与身份认同的省思汇聚成黎紫书文学创作的源动力,并形成了她独特的文学质素。黎紫书擅长书写微茫个体在日常生活与历史暴力中的生死爱欲,以阴暗、低沉的笔调呈现大马华人的生存境遇,以细腻动情的笔触镂刻出深邃的人性世界,她始终聚焦于芸芸众生的隐秘心史、家族秘史、悲伤情史。蕉风椰雨的自然景观、热带雨林的神秘探索、老旧的街道、建筑、废墟,在她笔下都再次复活,成为历史言说的主体。

In recent years, Lim Pow Leng, with her attention-catching literary achievements, has become a representative writer of Malaysian literature as her fiction has a deeply personal style and cultural signage, profoundly branded with the native features of Malaysia where she was born and bred. As a Malaysian, thoughts based on local experience and identity have become a driving force for her literary creation as well as her unique literary qualities. Lim Pow Leng is excellent at depicting the love and death of the small individuals in ordinary life and historical violence, representing, with her dark and low-spirited pen,the living circumstances of the Chinese Malaysians, and movingly and emotionally describing a profound human world. She always focuses on the secret heart history, family history and love history of the masses.The natural view of the banana and coconut rain, the mysterious exploration of the rainforest, the old streets, buildings and ruins are all revived in her writing,becoming the historical speaking subjects.
