《兄弟》是余华的小说创作沉寂十年以后推出的作品。本位试图从历时性的角度把《兄弟》纳入到新时期以来的中国小说创作思潮史,从而凸显出它相对于“晚生代”小说的在艺术风格和历史感上的新特征。而历史感正是依靠荒诞、苦难等特殊的艺术风格得以勾连和重建。 “Brothers” is the work of Yu Hua’s novel creation ten years after the silence. This paper attempts to bring “brother” into the history of Chinese novel writing since the new era from the diachronic perspective, highlighting its new features in the artistic style and historical sense of the “Late Generation” novels. And the sense of history is relying on absurdity, misery and other special artistic styles to be linked and rebuilt.
