在时间信物的引领下——阿来小说《轻雷》的叙述分析

Being Lead by Tokens of Time——On Narration of Light Thunder by Alai

时间一向是阿来作品基本主题之一,《轻雷》的出现,将《空山》这个历史长卷和整个阿来写作史推展到了时间维度的尽头,面对消逝的空间,去寻找时间的信物来记录永恒,而在叙述上,《轻雷》也成为其独立性更强、更具代表性的一个样本。《轻雷》首先呈现出的是一个下滑叙事,这是一个信物丢失的世界。与外在自然环境的下降叙事相伴,则是内在人心世界的下降叙事、心灵世界信物的丢失叙事。见证和连接这两个下滑叙事的是拉加泽里,而他本人更是一个下滑的标志。与丢失的世界相比,这个上升叙事构筑的是一个回归的世界,这是一个寻找回归信物的世界。这个双向的叙事在拉加泽里身上展开,如果说前一个叙事是罪与罚,那么这一个叙事则是救与赎。
