沉默者的世界：论肖江虹底层小说创作中的“失语者”形象

The World of the Silent: On the Image of “Aphasia” in the Creation of Xiao Jianghong’s Underclass Novels

摘要: 贵州作家肖江虹在其创作的《求你和我说说话》、《天堂口》、《百鸟朝凤》、《喊魂》、《犯罪嫌疑人》、《寻找1978》等多部小说中塑造了一系列“失语者”形象。他笔下的“失语者”是一群游走在群体边缘的底层人物，为主流社会所抛弃，却有着异于常人的人生体验和生命渴求。面对坚硬冰冷的现实世界，他们选择以认命的方式回归内心。肖江虹用温和、忧伤的笔触诠释了对底层世界的不同立场态度，也传递出了他对传统与现代关系的特殊理解，因而使得他的小说创作在新世纪以来的底层写作中呈现出独特的样貌。

Abstract: Xiao Jianghong, a writer from Guizhou Province, shapes a series of “aphasia” images in his novel creation of “Beg You Talk with Me”, “At the Gate of Heaven”, “Hundreds of Birds Worshipping the Phoenix”, “Calling Back the Spirits”, “Criminal Suspects”, “Looking for 1978” and so on. Those “aphasia” images are a group of people who are abandoned by the mainstream society, but they have different life experience and life longing. Facing with the hard and cold reality of the world, they choose to return to their own hearts. Xiao Jianghong clarifies his different position on the underworld with his gentle and sorrow writing tone. Also he passes out his special understanding of the relationship between traditional and modern society. Thus his novel creation presents a unique appearance among the underwritings in the new century.
