探寻者·独行者·营造者——王蒙小说中的王蒙

Wang Meng in Wang Meng's Novels

王蒙的小说是王蒙个体艺术创造的结晶,镌刻着王蒙个体的深刻烙印。在某种意义上也可以说,他的小说就是他的自叙传。从小说的主人公身上,我们可以发现“王记”的印痕和面影,窥见“故国八千里,风云三十年”的中国知识分子的精神之旅。王蒙是一个特立独行者,在他的小说中,也有一个“独行者”的人物系列。这些独行者上下求索,把探索的矛头既指向现实,也指向历史。王蒙在小说中营造了一个多维的艺术空间。他突破线形思维模式,洋洋洒洒地把文与野、雅与俗相交织,语言幽默,汪洋恣肆,杂语喧哗,尽情狂欢,形成亦庄亦谐、亦悲亦喜的美学效应。

As the crystal of his individual literary creation, Wang Meng' s novels are clearly tinted with his personality. His novels are, in one sense, his autobiographies, for from his protagonists readers can dis- cern the trace and shadow of Wang as well as the spiritual journey of Chinese intellectuals. As Wang Meng is a unique and lonely tramp. there are in his novels a series of 'lonely tramps', who have searched far and near, probing into both reality and history. Wang Meng has instituted in his novels a multidimen- sional artistic domain in which he manages to produce unique aesthetic effect by means of his great skills in writing.
