试析虹影自传体小说的“虚”与“实”

"The Virtual"and"the Real"in Hong Ying’s Autobiographical Novels

对比阅读虹影自传体小说《饥饿的女儿》及其续篇《好儿女花》和散文集《小小姑娘》、《53种离别》等,可以明显感受到作家个体经历及情感流变对创作的直接影响,一言以蔽之,即虚实相生。具体而言,则体现为作者自传体小说结构的艺术化设置、情节细节的故事性构想、叙事意象的理性化凝练。

That the author’s own experience and transient emotions shed an obvious and immediate light on her work is what one feels when comparing Hong Ying’s autobiographical novels Daughter of the River and Good Children of her Flowers to her two collections of short autobiographies Little girl and 53 Kinds of Departures.The influence one sees is a mixture of nihility and reality.All is reflected in the artistic structuring,detailed story-telling and concise rational imagery in her autobiographical novel.
