近年來,文學浙軍日益壯大,碩果累累。作家們緊扣時代旋律,貼近現實生活,創作出一批不同體裁、不同題材、不同風格的優秀文學作品,并在國內外引起較大反響,迎來了一個新的高潮。
謳歌時代精神,用文學傳遞正能量
文學浙軍在重大社會和歷史題材創作上取得的成績最為豐碩。
2014年8月,電視連續劇《歷史轉折中的鄧小平》在央視首播,收視率居高不下。作為該劇本編劇之一的黃亞洲,隨即推出同名圖書。同電視劇的火爆一樣,此書一經出版,立刻引發讀者熱烈追捧。據黃亞洲透露,這是他近年投入心血最多的一部作品,在充分尊重史實的基礎上進行適當的藝術加工。全書以鄧小平以非凡的魄力進行近十年的改革為主要創作線索,描述了基礎薄弱的新中國獲得重生的希望,向讀者展示了一個時代的探索與選擇。
劇作家錢林森創作的《絕命后衛師》,是一部謳歌革命歷程、書寫人間真情的小說。他同時也把它改編為電視連續劇劇本。創作時無數次被感動得熱淚盈眶的錢林森坦言,之所以把紅軍長征時的紅三十四師作為小說素材,是因為閩西兒女視死如歸、為革命事業淌盡最后一滴鮮血的赤膽忠心令他深深震撼,他想把這段歷史展現給更多讀者。
報告文學作家孫侃的最新力作《“兩山”之路——“美麗中國”的浙江樣本》于2017年2月正式出版。這是孫侃用時兩年,傾盡心血、精心打磨的長達25萬言的作品。作為省內重要的多產作家,孫侃每年出版數部長篇報告文學作品,近幾年有《吳斌:中國最美司機》《烈火中的青春》《“最美爸爸”黃小榮》《烈火雄心》《以美鑄魂》等十余部,獲得不錯反響。其中,《中國快遞桐廬幫》一書揭開了浙江桐廬民營快遞公司崛起之謎,探尋其道路,指出其影響與意義,引起海外的關注。孫侃認為,文學更多的應表現現實生活,給人以正能量的作品更具意義和價值。
與孫侃一樣,夏真和王毅也始終關注社會,敘寫社會熱點。前幾年,這對作家夫婦曾合作過《特殊使命》《跨越:杭州灣跨海大橋紀實》等報告文學作品,成為浙江文壇的一段佳話。2016年10月,夫妻倆再度攜手創作出版了以寧波一社區黨委書記俞復玲為原型的長篇報告文學《小巷總理》以質樸的語言和大量鮮活的事例、素材,呈現了一名基層干部的責任和擔當。
直面現實,寫出豐富多元的社會和人性
“我的下一步寫作不會是諜戰劇”,麥家早在2011年在微博上透露他將告別諜戰題材。麥家近年創作出了一批以《日本佬》《畜生》為代表的中、短篇小說,并在《人民文學》《小說月報》等國內著名文學期刊發表,贏得評論界叫好。麥家的這些作品無論題材、主題、敘事角度還是表現手法上,都打破了以往自己諜戰題材的風格,帶著豐富多元、變化不斷的個人色彩,值得讀者細細研讀。
王旭烽曾供職于杭州中國茶葉博物館,于是與茶葉有了不一般的情緣。雖然“茶人三部曲”當中的前兩部曾獲茅盾文學獎,但她認為最重要的一部關于茶葉的作品,應當是2015年12月出版的《一片葉子》。這部帶有紀實性的散文隨筆集子,以第一人稱為敘述主體,以農歷二十四節氣為建構,以茶人、茶事為基本線索,詳細敘述了安吉白茶的前世今生,寄托了作者天人合一、萬物共生的美好境界。
2016年1月,方格子出版了《一百年的暗與光——中國麻風防治浙江記錄》,這是一部記錄60余年來浙江省麻風病防治工作的長篇報告文學。正如方格子所說:“我們生活的時代,麻風病依然存在。而在人類文明史上,從來沒有一種疾病像麻風一樣,病患在擔負肉體無盡痛苦的同時,還必須承擔來自社會的歧視及道德的審判。”作者用悲天憫人的大情懷,意圖用文字還原生命的尊嚴、喚醒社會的關愛,讀來令人動容。
浦子的長篇小說《大中》在2017年1月份出版,這是作者用16年時間精心打造的“王莊三部曲(《龍窯》《獨山》《大中》)”的最后一部,全書似是一部宏偉壯麗的詩篇,展現了王莊三個家族在新的歷史時期發生的種種恩怨。有評論家認為,其筆觸直接剖析人的靈魂,貼近歷史和人性的本真。
李靖在2016年11月出版的長篇小說《四十年家國》,以洋洋灑灑的80余萬字,描述了史稱“銅城”的浙江金華從清末到抗戰勝利期間可歌可泣的一段歷史故事,也是一部直面現實的好作品。另外,陳富強在近年也出版了多部以“電力”為主題且接地氣的文學作品。
承繼傳統,各門類文學創作百花競放
浙江在現代文學史上,相繼涌現了魯迅、茅盾、郁達夫、徐志摩等一大批作家,曾有占據中國文壇半壁江山的美譽。如今,浙江作家群體在詩歌、散文、小說、兒童文學、網絡文學、類型文學等各個領域多方面發展,形成了老中青三代作家相映成輝的格局。
浙江文壇上優秀的散文作家大有人在。2016年3月,盧江良出版了散文集《靈魂的指向》,這是一部有誠意的作品,因為書里所述的都同作者的生活息息相關,同他的心靈血肉相連,同他的思想融會貫通。其他像馬敘、帕蒂古麗、孫敏瑛等在國內也頗有知名度,這幾年常有新作發表、獲獎。
2016年5月,上海三聯書店出版發行了《原則詩選——浙江詩壇原色風景展示》。據悉,“原則”是創立于上世紀90年代、以浙江詩人為主的民間詩歌創作群體,收入本書的220多首詩歌大多是浙江籍的陳星光、達達等創作的。李郁蔥的詩集《浮世繪》于2015年10月出版,詩歌以當代人的個人記憶,從理想的高度觸摸當代生活,用詩歌觸及日常生活,觸及形形色色的人物。除此,像柯平、鄒漢明等上世紀八九十年代就已成名的詩人仍筆耕不輟。
浙江的兒童文學作家群,最具代表的人物應屬方衛平。他除了大量創作外,還勻出很多精力致力于研究浙江兒童文學的發展,并常有專著出版。另外,網絡文學也是一個大門類,像浙江籍網絡文學作家創作的《甄嬛傳》《羋月傳》等相繼被搬上電視熒屏。endprint
更值得一提的是,浙江的文學創作后繼有人。越來越多的90后作者隨著年齡、閱歷的增長和創作手法的成熟,開始被主流文壇認可,被吸收為各級作協會員。在每年7月末的中國90后作家聯誼會上,總能看見多張浙江籍90后作家的面孔。
憑著這股良好的創作勢頭和喜人成績,這支活躍于文壇的“文學浙軍”定能躋身全國前列。

By Fu Shuqing
In recent years, writers in Zhejiang have been trying to regain a literary reputation. In the 20th century, the province boasted a galaxy of writers whose accomplishments are chapters of the history of modern Chinese literature. Nowadays, contemporary writers in Zhejiang are following their forefathers footsteps. They have created quite a few influential works.
Attention to the Modern Times
Writers of today in Zhejiang never hesitate to examine the yesteryears and the now and here.
In August 2014, CCTV, the biggest television network in China, screened , a television series. It ranked high in the rating system. Huang Yazhou, one of the major scriptwriters of the series and writer based in Zhejiang, soon launched a printed version of the television blockbuster. He commented that the script was the biggest one of the projects he had done in recent years. Based on historical facts, he artistically traced a period of about ten years covering the major part of the 1980s when Deng Xiaoping brought China back into modernization and pioneered into a bright future through reform and opening up policies.
Qian Linsen, a playwright based in Zhejiang, wrote a novel titled , which is based on the heroic deeds of the 34th division of the Red Army during the Long March in the 1930s. The division sacrificed itself in a bid to give the main forces of the Red Army time to cross Xiang River and break away from the deadly besiege. The novel was adapted to a television series, which was screened on CCTV in October 2016.
Nonfiction writers are dedicated to realities.
Sun Kan, a key reporter of our times, published , a book that explores the value of ecology and promotes the “Theory of Two Mountains”, in February 2017. A prolific writer, he has published over ten nonfictions about Zhejiang in recent years.

Fiction writers in Zhejiang perform pretty well. Mai Jia, best known for his spy novels, has published some bestsellers, which have been adapted to films and television series. In 2011, he revealed in his blog that he would no longer write spy novels. Since then he has published novelettes and some short stories in some literary magazines.
