摘 要:呂新一直以來被看作先鋒作家,其小說最大的特色表現在敘事技巧和敘事語言的不斷實驗、探索和創新上。小說《梅雨》在敘事方面依然保持了一貫的先鋒性,無論是敘事視角的選擇、敘事語言的營造,都顯現出作家高超的藝術才能;與此同時,小說在主題上也明顯表現出作家對現代性的反思,對社會各種異化現象的憂患和批判,對人類生存痛苦和精神困境的古典式人文關懷。以《梅雨》為界,呂新此后的小說在敘事形式探索方面有所減弱,但固有的先鋒精神和古典人文情懷始終不變。
關鍵詞:呂新;《梅雨》;主題意蘊 ;先鋒敘事;人文情懷

The novel “rainy season” still maintains consistent pioneer spirit in narrative terms, whether the choice of narrative perspective or the creation of narrative language shows writers superb artistic talent. At the same time, the subject of the novel clearly demonstrates the following aspects: the reflection on modernity, the hardship and criticism on the social alienation phenomenon, the classical humanities concern for human existence and spiritual dilemma of pain. From then on , Lv Xins novels have weakened in the narrative, but the inherent pioneer spirit and classical humanistic feelings remain unchanged.
Key words: Lv Xin; rainy season ; theme; pioneer narration; humanistic feelings
興起于20世紀80年代中后期的先鋒小說思潮,雖然并沒持續太長時間就因各種原因而消退不再,但其在敘事策略和語言上的開創,以及對人類生存狀態的形而上關注,卻一直對后來的小說創作持續產生著影響,也因此建構了自身扎實的文學史意義。馬原、洪峰、余華、格非、孫甘露等一批先鋒小說家及其創作,成了幾乎每一本當代文學史都繞不開的存在,相較來說,同樣作為先鋒作家的呂新,受到的關注則要小得多,只是偶爾會在某部文學史教材或某篇評論文章里被談到或論及,在普通讀者群里知名度也很小。這一定程度上可能跟作家不善言辭、不愿與媒體打交道的個性有關,相信隨著近段時期其中篇小說《白楊木的春天》以高票榮獲第六屆“魯迅文學獎”,這一狀況會稍稍得到改觀。……
