在大地和神圣信仰之间的生命长歌——论回族女作家马金莲的小说之“道”

摘要

The "doctrine" of fiction is both the mystic decrees high above the practice of fiction texts and the eternal pursuit deeply rooted in the heart of novelists. In the minority literary world of the new century, Ma Jinlian is a Muslim female writer in her conscious pursuit of the "doctrine" of fiction, and she has, based on her simple and poetic life experiences, passionately eulogized the tranquil and vast land and objects in Xihaigu district and paid affectionate tribute to the divine power of religious conversion because of ethnic beliefs. The interweaving of poetic quality and divinity, the struggle between the soul and the body, the relative harmony between humans and nature, and overlapping and interdependence between time and space, etc. have converged and condensed into dense and heavy but solid and tenacious objects of experience and memory in her novels. This personalized narrative and the aesthetic "doctrine" have set both a meaningful example and orientation for the minority literature of the new century.%小说之“道”既是高悬于小说文本实践之上的神秘律令，又是深藏在小说家内心的永恒追求。新世纪少数民族文坛上，马金莲便是一个自觉追求小说之“道”的回族女作家。其小说创作从朴素而不乏诗意的生命经验出发，动情歌咏了西海固沉默宽广的大地与万物，深情礼赞着因民族信仰而皈依的神圣力量。诗性与神性的交织、心灵与命运的搏斗、人与物的相谐相生、时间与空间的杂叠相依……在她小说中汇集粘连成密度大而重、质地坚且韧的经验物和记忆物。这种个性化的小说叙事和审美之“道”为新世纪少数民族文学提供了有意义的范例和面向。
