谈到当代文学的南京书写,南京本土作家叶兆言注定绕不过去。在他的作品中,南京或者是人物活动的场所,故事发生的地点(《1937年的爱情》、《没有玻璃的花房》~①),或者化身为—个虚拟的江南小城(如《花影》、《花煞》等作品中的梅城~②),但无论作品题材和写作手法如何转变,南京——作为一个始终在场的文化和地理的双重空间,是作家坚定的灵感源泉和情感对象。 When it comes to contemporary Chinese writing in Nanjing, Ye Zhaoyan, a native writer in Nanjing, is doomed to bypass the past. In his works, Nanjing is either the place for people’s activities, the place where the story happened (“love in 1937”, “flower house without glass”), or the embodiment of a virtual Jiangnan town (such as “Hua Ying” Meicheng, "etc.). However, no matter how the themes and styles of writing change, Nanjing - as a constant dual cultural and geographical space, is a source of firm inspiration and emotional object for writers.
