太阳照常升起之路——以海明威为个案探析记者生涯对文学创作的影响

The road for the sun to rise still--On the influence of journalist career on the literary creation in reference to Hemingway's case

海明威自己认为记者工作对作家是"一种日常的自我毁灭",但事实上,记者生涯为他形成独特文风奠定了基石,为他进行文学创作提供了及时有效的经济支持,并且构成了他的文学世界中不可或缺的生命体验;记者生涯确实有助于海明威成长为优秀作家。然而海明威模式并非公理,记者工作对于文学创作的影响是双刃剑,其负面效应基于新闻写作与文学创作在基本的叙事方式、创作理念和创作时间上的冲突。记者生涯并非作家预科班,两种职业最好不要混为一谈。

Although Hemingway thought that the journalist practice means 'the ordinary self-destruction of a writer's life', the journalist career undergone by him had in fact formed the foundation for his particular writing style. Such an experience also provided his literary creation a timely and effective support of economy, and had played the role of necessary life enlightenment in his literary world. The journalist career was indeed helpful to his growth as a distinguished writer. Nevertheless, the Hemingway's pattern of literary growth is by no means universal. The influence of journalist practice on the literary creation is two sided: except for the active side, the passive effect can be found in the conflict of these two fields in their narrative modes, writing concepts and creation time. The journalist career does not mean the preparation period for a writer. The two occupations should be treated separately.
