纸镜子 (Paper Mirror)

《风度阅读·纸镜子：七个故事》是短篇历史小说集。收入本集的七则故事，主角从历史的底部浮上这个喧嚣的时代说话：一个追慕画道的青年在对大师徐渭的寻找中遁形于一幅画中；一个在梦境和香料中营造精致生活的明朝作家；一个年代莫辨的复仇故事；一个对《世说新语》经典故事的后现代嘲讽；一场绵延了一个女人一生的秘密处决；一个诗人的前世今生......讲故事的人与故事中人在时空的某一个交叉点上邂逅相遇又合二为一......循着草蛇灰线，其本事或可一一追溯、考据到徐渭、陈独秀、苏曼殊、董若雨、王子猷这些历史人物。但所谓羚羊挂角，相由心生，他们不过是心灵世界的一个幻象。作者对生命中的种种不堪充满同情，同时，他出色的想象力使得历史呈现出第二个维度，一个由智力活动构成的全景式维度，历史写作也从苦役一跃而成为了一场欢庆。(Grace Reading Series—Paper Mirror: Seven Stories is a collection of historical short stories. In the seven stories collected in this book, the protagonists emerged to speak in the noisy world from the bottom of history: a young man in pursuit of painting hides away in a painting in his search for the great master Xu Wei; a Ming Dynasty writer who creates life in dreams and spices; a story of vengeance from an untold era; a post-modern sneer from a classic story of A New Account of the Tales of the World; a secret execution lingers the life time of a woman; the previous and present life of a poet...the accidental encounter of the story teller and the character of the story at a certain space and time and then combining into one...If you follow the faint foreshadowing, each of the stories can be traced back to the historical figures such as Xu Wei, Chen Duxiu, Su Manshu, Dong Ruoyu, Wang Ziyou. While the so-called antelope hanging its horns on the tree, and the forms come from the heart, they are merely an illusion of the mind. The author's compassion to the various miserably phenomena of life can be felt in each line and word. At the same time, his incredible imagination presents the readers with second dimension of history, forming a panoramic dimension of intellectual activities. The historical writing also leaps from the hard labor to a celebration.)
