Western Spirit,National Imagination,and"Bazi Camp World"——A Comprehensive Study of Li Xuehui's Western Fiction

李学辉是新世纪以来勤奋笔耕的西部作家,其小说创作成就斐然。李学辉小说注重对西部精神的发掘,这成为其塑造人物形象的重要依据;李学辉小说虽然叙述的主要是凉州故事,但其视野却没有局限于凉州,而是有着更大的辐射空间,即力图通过讲述凉州而达到讲述“中国”的预设,我们称之为“家国想象”。无论是对于西部精神的阐发,还是对于家国想象的释放,李学辉小说都是从一个原点出发的,这个原点就是“巴子营”世界。李学辉小说所精心创构的“巴子营”世界,具有极强的西部性,这通过其所描述的地理环境、人文环境的西部性,以及所塑造的人物形象的西部性,清晰地呈现出来。
